Mumbai witnessed a spectacular blend of fashion, glamour and art as celebrated designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla presented their special couture showcase, Disco Inferno, at Art Mumbai 2026 on November 12. The star-studded event took place at Mahalaxmi Racecourse and celebrated the dazzling fashion trends of the 1970s and 1980s disco era. Bollywood actress Sharvari Wagh emerged as one of the biggest highlights of the evening, while Ahsaas Channa, Ananya Birla and veteran actress Jaya Bachchan were among the prominent guests who attended the spectacular presentation.
Sharvari Wagh stole the spotlight as the showstopper, making a striking appearance in two different couture creations. The actress opened and closed the showcase in glamorous ensembles that perfectly captured the spirit of Disco Inferno. One of her standout looks featured a sparkling black and silver mini dress covered in crystal embellishments, while another showcased a dramatic crimson concept-drape sari paired with a heavily embellished crystal-and-stone blouse. Adding another exciting element to the evening, Sharvari also took to the stage for a live performance, making her appearance more than just a traditional runway moment.
The collection reflected the designers' love for maximalist fashion, combining extravagant silhouettes with their signature Indian craftsmanship. Inspired by the energy of disco culture, the presentation featured fluid kaftans, open jackets, bustiers and innovative draped outfits. Collections such as Disco, Origami, Inca, Badla and Modern brought together different design influences, while updated versions of the duo's signature Raj and Greta lines featured neon colours, sparkling sequins and intricate cut-dana work in rich jewel tones. Models and dancers walked the runway wearing dramatic mirrorball-inspired headpieces and feathered details, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the legendary Studio 54 era.
Another major attraction was a magnificent 20-foot-tall elephant installation named Rani. Created by A Wonder Room, the designers' interior and gallery vertical, the impressive sculpture was decorated with intricate mirror work, gota detailing and disco balls. The installation paid tribute to Mumbai's historic Rani Baug zoo and the city where Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla first met. More than just a decorative backdrop, Rani became an artistic centrepiece of the presentation, bringing together the worlds of fashion, craftsmanship and contemporary installation art.
The evening also saw several well-known personalities enjoying the spectacular couture presentation. Ahsaas Channa and singer-entrepreneur Ananya Birla were among the guests who attracted attention with their appearances. Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan also attended the event, showing her support for the celebrated designer duo. Nataša Stanković was another familiar face spotted at the gathering. The presence of celebrities from different generations added to the glamour of the occasion, making Disco Inferno one of the most talked-about highlights of Art Mumbai's opening night.
The special showcase was particularly meaningful as Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla celebrated 40 years of their fashion journey. Through Disco Inferno, the designers revisited the flamboyant spirit of the 1970s and 1980s while giving it a distinctly Indian couture identity. From Sharvari Wagh's dazzling showstopper appearances to the spectacular Rani installation, the evening delivered fashion moments that celebrated creativity without holding back. With its extravagant designs, theatrical presentation and star-studded attendance, Disco Inferno proved that glamour, art and Indian craftsmanship can come together to create something truly unforgettable.
