Couture Festive 2022
The Tree of Life
Taking inspiration from the tree of life, which symbolizes growth, strength, and beauty, Rahul Mishra showcased a collection of Women and Men’s wear in hand-woven fabrics for the Festive and Wedding season ahead. ‘The Tree of Life’ is a manifestation of artistic memory that emerges from deep emotion and nostalgia.
Highlights
· A contemporary application using a multitude of traditional surface embellishment techniques from the Indian subcontinent and the Intricately embellished surfaces articulate scenes from dense forests with ancient architectural remains and vegetation in modern day silhouettes.
· There is use of 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional embroidery yet the collection is featherweight
· Interesting blouses having exaggerated shoulders and embellished with gold leaf motifs
Rahul Mishra
“A contemporary application using a multitude of traditional surface embellishment techniques from the Indian subcontinent, the collection aims to near art, just as it does fashion.It endeavours to cultivate a circular economy for craft communities in India. The core aim of the collection continues to focus on grass root empowerment and provide encouragement to the artisans that make the clothes. We seek to not just fuel further consumption but cater to the existing demand of a mindful customer. In the words of Nelson Henderson,’The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.’”
