Highlights of the Fashion Show -Ode to Royals

The splendour and glory of the erstwhile Days of the Raj which is the raison d’ etre of the collection was being showcased. Inspired by the Indian Maharaja royals and the nobles of that era and their lifestyle. Heavily influenced by their travels to the West, the collection was an ode to splendour and extravagance of their lives well lived.

The collection is a celebration of royals opulence. Tempered in hues of ivory & beige, burnished gold’s rose tints, and velveteen blacks. That harks back to a time when the “Maharajas” and “Maharanees” were the toast of European high society-. Equally at ease in the royals ballrooms of Calcutta and Kapurthala as well as chic Parisian saloons.

About Rimple & Harpreet

The ground of couture craft, and heritage- Rimple and Harpreet Narula

 Their signature style represents an interesting paradox of rural craft and exalted design. Their take on design and the process of design is intuitive. While their approach to colour and use of fabric is spontaneous yet exceptional. They took the leap into the realm of Bollywood costume design with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Padmaavat opened the doors of Bollywood costume design. Making way for Rimple to bag other prestigious projects such as 2019’s Houseful4 and the upcoming Bhool Bhulaiya 2.

 Along with running two Flagship stores in Delhi, the designers have showcased critically acclaimed couture collections at the FDCI India Couture Week for three years in a row.
