AJIO Luxe Wkend 2026: Vespa's The Empty Space makes its India debut as Mumbai's luxury weekend kicks off
AJIO Luxe Wkend 2026 runs 13 to 15 November at Jio World Garden, Mumbai, with 250+ brands, and Vespa brings its fashion concept The Empty Space to India for the first time.
Mumbai's long weekend just got a dress code. AJIO Luxe Wkend 2026, the sixth edition of the luxury showcase, runs from 13 to 15 November at Jio World Garden in Bandra Kurla Complex, with more than 250 brands across 14-plus categories, from fashion, watches and jewellery to beauty, home design, cars and collectibles. And the pop-up everyone with a taste for Italian cool will want to see is a first for India: Vespa's fashion and lifestyle concept, The Empty Space.
Vespa, but make it a wardrobe
Yes, that Vespa. The Italian scooter brand has spent the last couple of years turning its design language into clothing and objects, and The Empty Space is the name for that world. Vespa opened its first dedicated concept store during Milan Fashion Week in September 2025, and now the concept is in India for the first time, as a pop-up at AJIO Luxe Wkend.
On show are pieces from Al Vento, Vespa's first full clothing collection, along with the Pilot Dogs, Miscela Nostalgia and In Sella releases: jackets, knitwear, denim and accessories. Look closely and the scooter is everywhere. A bean-shaped flap pocket echoes the curve of the Vespa's bodywork, and a cargo field jacket in Pontedera Green, named after the Italian town where it all began, nods to scooter luggage. Then there are the handmade ceramic dogs from the Vespa Lover collection, each one standing in for a model: the Sprint, the 946 and the electric Elettrica. Quirky? Absolutely. Very Italian? Even more so.
Who is curating what
Celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania is curating the fashion side, including a shopping edit of homegrown Indian labels, while Sussanne Khan brings her design eye to the home and interiors showcase. Expect runway presentations from global luxury labels, plus the parts that make this feel more festival than trade fair: food and bars, panel discussions, padel, mahjong and sundowners.
The music
Evenings lean electronic. The line-up includes Tech Panda and Kenzani, Sudan, Madboy/Mink, Siiry, AminJaz, Nake, OG Shez and GauriWho, so pace yourself if you plan to shop and dance on the same day.

The FHM take
Luxury in India is clearly moving from glass-walled boutiques to open-air weekends, and AJIO Luxe Wkend is the loudest proof of that. For us, the Vespa pop-up is the smartest booth on the ground. It shows how a brand built on two wheels can sell a mood, not just a machine. Go for the scooter-shaped pockets, stay for the sundowner, and leave the credit card at home if you have no self-control.
