DMODE by Divine Designz Menswear on Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop

DMODE by Divine Designz is a Mumbai-based menswear label that blends Indian craftsmanship with a modern outlook. It was started by a family trio — Sushma Poladia, Morley Patel, and Rhea Patel — who bring different strengths to the table. Together, they’ve slowly built a name for themselves in the custom menswear space by keeping things rooted, versatile, and made-to-fit.

Sushma, the founder, has been in the world of tailoring for decades. Her experience shows up in the smallest stitching details. Morley, the co-founder, brings a more current design lens, helping merge tradition with the changing tastes of today’s buyers. Rhea handles the digital and marketing end, making sure DMODE reaches the right people and keeps things fresh online.

Their collection features silhouettes that feel both classic and easy to wear. Think Sherwanis, Bandhgalas, Nehru Jackets, Kurtas, and Indo-Western Sets — made with attention to cut, fabric, and purpose. Everything’s tailored specifically for the wearer, keeping style preferences, comfort, and the occasion in mind. The designs stay clean and sharp, with a touch of detailing that feels intentional, not flashy.

You’ll find top-selling pieces from DMODE online at Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop. Whether it’s for a wedding, reception, or something more low-key, the brand makes dressing up feel natural — never forced.

DMODE – Indian Menswear for Modern Occasions

DMODE has found its space by blending what’s timeless with what works right now. The label focuses on clothing that fits well, lasts long, and has a distinct but wearable style.

Fabrics are carefully selected — raw silk, dupion, cotton-silk mixes, jacquard, and terry rayon are some of the staples. These materials don’t just look good — they hold structure well, carry embroidery nicely, and stay comfortable across long events. That balance of form and function is key to how DMODE builds its clothes.

For detailing, the brand leans into handwork techniques like zardozi, aari, and resham embroidery. But it’s never too much. The work tends to stay on the sleeves, collars, or plackets — meant to add character, not take over the whole look.

DMODE’s pieces sometimes include things like layered panels, asymmetrical edges, or tonal textures. These updates don’t feel out of place — they add a quiet edge to the traditional base. You’ll also notice slimmer cuts and cleaner finishes, in line with what modern buyers are asking for. And if there’s something specific a client wants — a different fabric, neckline, or extra detailing — customisation is always an option.

The colour palette shifts depending on the season. You’ll see evergreen shades like ivory, navy, and charcoal alongside newer tones like dusty rose, sage, and powder blue. Jewel tones show up more during festive months or in wedding-focused outfits.

At the core, DMODE’s strength is its ability to listen — to clients, to trends, and to what’s needed in the moment. The clothes are designed with intention, built with care, and made for men who want to dress well without trying too hard.
