GUESS Celebrates Global Unity and Heritage with ‘One World, One Brand 2025’ in Marrakech


As GUESS approaches its 45th anniversary in 2026, the brand chose Marrakech, Morocco, as the stage for its global conference One World, One Brand 2025 — a vibrant celebration of creativity, heritage, and unity. The city holds deep personal meaning for Paul Marciano, GUESS’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, who was born there.

Now in its eighth edition, the conference brought together over 800 guests from 100 countries, marking one of the most ambitious gatherings in the brand’s history. The event unfolded over three days of inspiring conferences, fashion showcases, gala dinners, cocktail receptions, and luxurious experiences that reflected GUESS’s signature blend of glamour and authenticity.

The grand finale was a breathtaking fashion show at the El Badi Palace, an architectural marvel of 16th-century Morocco, where guests witnessed the unveiling of the Spring/Summer 2026 and Pre-Fall 2026 collections and a special MARCIANO by GUESS capsule created exclusively for Marrakech.

“It’s far beyond a corporate gathering,” said Paul Marciano. “One World, One Brand is about bringing people together from across the globe to share ideas, celebrate creativity, and experience the lifestyle that defines GUESS. I chose Morocco to honor my family’s humble beginnings and to showcase the beauty and progress of this country that shaped who I am.”

The overarching theme, Never Forget Your Roots, resonated throughout the event, paying tribute to Marciano’s Moroccan heritage and GUESS’s evolution from its iconic denim origins to a global lifestyle powerhouse.

Among the attendees were GUESS executives, business partners, and international talent, including Chiara Ferragni, Leonie Hanne, Lea Elui, Maura Higgins, Krystle D’Souza, and Andrea Brillantes, along with global media and fashion influencers. Guests experienced curated adventures across Morocco — from sidecar tours through Marrakech’s vibrant souks to hot-air balloon rides over the Agafay Desert and private explorations of the Medina.

To extend the celebration, GUESS will take over the luxurious White Camel glamping resort in the Agafay Desert through the fall season, offering immersive experiences and décor inspired by the brand’s iconic heritage.

As GUESS moves closer to its 45th anniversary, One World, One Brand 2025 stands as a symbol of its enduring vision — a world united by creativity, connection, and timeless style.

Tamannaah Bhatia Opens Couture Week 2025 in Rahul Mishra’s Mesmerising “Becoming Love” Collection


Written by Tanisha Cardozo

The 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 opened with a spellbinding show in New Delhi, led by internationally acclaimed designer Rahul Mishra. The evening belonged to Tamannaah Bhatia, who graced the runway in two unforgettable looks that embodied the designer’s soulful new collection, Becoming Love.

🌸 A Collection Rooted in Mysticism

Mishra’s collection, originally showcased in Paris, draws deeply from Sufi mysticism. Titled Becoming Love, it traces the spiritual evolution of love — from longing and attachment to divine connection. The garments featured intricate hand embroidery, motifs of blooming lotuses, garden landscapes, and celestial artwork depicting Lord Krishna’s Raas Leela.

“Becoming Love is not just about fashion. It’s a meditation on emotional and spiritual awakening,” said Mishra.

👑 Tamannaah: Muse and Magic

Opening the show, Tamannaah Bhatia first walked in a soft-toned, hand-embroidered gown — glimmering with sequins and delicately woven florals. Her elegance reflected the introspective beauty of love’s first stirrings.

Her second walk transformed the mood — she appeared in a brilliant lehenga, crafted with dazzling embellishments and layered embroidery. Though reminiscent of Indian bridalwear, the design felt refreshingly modern and bold.

“Tamannaah was not just a showstopper, she was the soul of the story,” noted fashion observers. “She brought Mishra’s vision alive.”

🌟 A Promising Start to Couture Week

The show was a grand opening to Couture Week’s 2025 chapter, signaling that this season will be a blend of deep artistry and bold expression. Mishra’s blend of Indian tradition and Parisian finesse offered a glimpse into the future of global couture — rooted in identity, yet expansive in imagination.
