RAVAGHENDRA RATHORE
It is a testament to the strength of this collection, that in admiring the very traditional resham and sequin embroidery on the kurtis and jackets, one is liable to forget that this is, in fact, a very modern collection. Rathore shows restraint in applying embellishments, choosing a recurring motif and placing it strategically on pieces that are otherwise unadorned and very clean in shape. Even the statement bridal selection, wore by Dia Mirza, the skirt is kept clean, none of the antique gold embellishment, instead given drama and movement through it's bias-cut and tuck shape.
The fit is easy, straight and forgiving on the figure, the colours too, are classic and deep-hued. They lend themselves well to be worn again and again, season after season. In a time of fast fashion, when we purport to love pieces that can be well-worn and better loved through the decades, and yet actual selection to that end is sadly lacking, this collection is an answer to that demand.
