PUMA, ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU AND DHRUV KAPOOR HIT THE MILAN FASHION WEEK WITH THREE STATEMENT JACKETS

~The limited-edition pieces made their debut as part of Dhruv Kapoor’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, offering a first look at the collaboration ahead of a larger collection next IPL season~

September 23, 2026: Indian cricket has officially stepped onto the global fashion stage. PUMA India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), one of India’s most-loved cricket teams, turned up at Milan Fashion Week today with three statement jackets reimagined by Dhruv Kapoor for his Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Presence. The runway moment takes the PUMA × RCB partnership to a high-fashion global stage. Having steadily pushed RCB beyond match-day fanwear and into everyday culture, PUMA India is making a first-of-its-kind statement for Cricket culture.

Cricket and couture speaking the same language for the first time. Reimagined by Dhruv Kapoor – whose work moves between street culture, Indian craft and high fashion – the PUMA x RCB x Dhruv Kapoor jackets bring his signature play with construction, detail and form. Performance textiles and technical components are reconstructed and layered with handcrafted intervention, giving cricket an entirely new fashion identity. The jackets appear within Presence, Kapoor’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, built around contrasts: cultural memory and contemporary systems.

The three PUMA × RCB × Dhruv Kapoor collector’s edition jackets will soon be available on PUMA.com, at select PUMA stores, and through select Dhruv Kapoor stores and online channels as a limited-edition line. Milan was only the opening act and a teaser into the larger PUMA × RCB × Dhruv Kapoor collection arriving in March for the 2027 IPL season.
