EU BAN ON DESTROYING UNSOLD CLOTHING: WHAT THE NEW LAW MEANS FOR LUXURY FASHION
February 18, 2026
Luxury fashion’s most secretive practice is officially illegal. The EU has banned brands from destroying unsold clothing, forcing
the industry to confront overproduction, waste, and sustainability head-on.
![With Abyssal, Rohit Gandhi Rahul Khanna step away from the glare of surface glamour and descend into a quieter, more cerebral territory. In a season defined by brightness and immediacy, the designers choose depth—both literal and philosophical—as their point of departure.
Drawing inspiration from the ocean’s abyssal zones, where light diminishes and form precedes colour, the collection unfolds like a slow revelation.
Inspired by the ocean’s most secretive depths, the collection layers translucency, architectural precision, and restrained ornamentation—pearls, crystals, and metallic florals that feel discovered rather than applied. Colours drift through abyssal blues, mineral greys, frost whites, and deep charcoals, echoing light dissolving underwater.
Designed for both men and women, Abyssal speaks directly to Rohit Gandhi Rahul Khanna’s vision of contemporary Indian ceremonial dressing—precise, restrained, and architectural. With over two decades of shaping a modern language of formalwear, the house continues to refine its signature ethos in Spring Summer Couture 2026.
