House of Rina Debuts “Gulabi Pink” at Paris Fashion Week: A Tribute to Feminine Strength and Empowerment

By Paris Runway Official

In a celebration of womanhood, resilience, and radiant grace, House of Rina unveiled its latest masterpiece... the “Gulabi Pink” collection at Paris Fashion Week on October 3rd, 2025, held at the legendary Hotel Plaza Athénée in collaboration with Paris Fashion Days.

Soft, feminine, and undeniably confident, Gulabi Pink stands as a testament to the power of women who rise, lead, and inspire. The collection draws profound inspiration from the Gulabi Gang, a remarkable women-led movement in India whose members don vivid hot pink saris as they champion justice and equality. Through this lens, designer Rina Patel channels the essence of courage and grace... transforming activism into art, and solidarity into couture.

“This collection is our love letter to women everywhere,” says Rina Patel, Creative Director of House of Rina. “It’s about celebrating resilience, honoring stories of courage, and creating beauty that uplifts and empowers.”

A Symphony of Craftsmanship

Every gown in Gulabi Pink is a work of devotion celebrating a harmony of texture, light, and symbolism. Luxurious silk charmeuse and satin fabrics ripple like water under the Parisian lights, while hand-sewn feathers dance with ethereal freedom across fluid silhouettes. Each ensemble speaks of dedication: over 150 hours of artisanal craftsmanship have gone into the intricate beadwork, crystals, and gemstone embellishments, each detail a reflection of both elegance and empowerment.

Behind every stitch is a deeper story of artisans whose skilled hands not only create beauty but also gain economic independence, weaving hope and purpose into every thread.

The Language of Roses

Roses, the emblematic heart of Gulabi Pink, bloom across the collection as cascading appliqués that adorn gowns, skirts, and bodices. More than decorative flourishes, these roses serve as powerful symbols of duality... soft yet strong, delicate yet enduring.

Each petal represents a woman’s journey of her growth, her challenges, and her triumphs. Models walked the runway adorned with roses woven into their hair and delicate rose chokers resting on their necks, transforming the runway into a poetic garden of empowerment.

A Movement in Motion

More than fashion, Gulabi Pink is a movement. The collection serves as a reminder that strength and softness are not opposites, but allies. It is the embodiment of women claiming their space, their voice, and their beauty on their own terms.

As the final model took her walk beneath the chandeliers of the Plaza Athénée, there was an undeniable sense that House of Rina had created something far greater than a collection. This collection had sparked a conversation, one stitched in courage and crowned in pink.
