The campaign

Taangerine Tiger commissioned these photographs for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, with creative direction by Aarti Mahtani. Four models wear the paisley, palm and floral prints across garden, veranda and waterside settings.

The photographs

Group portraits show the prints together. Individual frames bring the cut and styling of each look closer, moving between shade beneath the trees and full sun against the sky and water.
