Sachin & Babi Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear

Occasionwear has always been Sachin & Babi’s bread and butter, but “day social” is currently the specialty du jour. “This category really speaks to us and it continues to grow. We want to make sure she has something for anything that could come up,” said Babi Ahluwalia from her Manhattan showroom, referring to her clients’ desire for more elaborate outfits outside of traditional black tie. New menu items this season included an ankle-length chambray number with the kind of intricate cutwork usually associated with an evening gown, textured lamé that blurs the lines between garden fete and beach wedding, and a cinched-waist cotton T-shirt sleeve dress called the Danica, bearing the label’s fan-favorite florals on the skirt. There were also printed ethereal silk chiffon scarves in light green and sky blue hues, hand-finished with beads, that looked like the extension of a strapless dress, offering practical coverage and added interest: “A piece in itself,” as Ahluwalia put it.
