Designed by Rishta by Arjun Saluja, the shirt-dress pairs a spread collar and rolled half-sleeves with a button-tabbed waist belt and a fully pleated skirt.
Sourced from The Gentleman's Community, the amber-tinted round frames are vintage Versace, a retro touch against the otherwise modern tailoring.
Valliyan Jewelry's crystal-studded brooch sits pinned at the collar, the only ornament breaking the dress's clean monochrome surface.
Kaj Fine Jewellery rounds out the styling with a drop earring, a jewelled ring and a wristwatch, quiet supporting pieces beside the brooch's shine.
Hairstylist Ryan L McGovern keeps the center-parted waves long and loose, letting them fall forward to frame the face rather than compete with the brooch.
Binndi Suvarna keeps the base warm and the lip a soft nude, letting a precise wing of eyeliner do the only dramatic work on the face.
A pair of pointed-toe pumps from Jimmy Choo closes the silhouette in black, a single dark note against the gold from head to toe.
Valerie Burke shot the story, while stylists Ami Patel and Anushka Damani built the head-to-toe monochrome styling seen throughout.
