Rajdeep Ranawat is presenting his latest Winter Festive Collection 2019 – ‘Sindh’ – at Lakme Fashion Week WF 2019
Ranawat is known for adding a contemporary twist to traditional ethnic styles, and Sindh captures the soul of the Mughal era.
Sindh resonates to the opulent beauty of Mughal times but is fused withthe bold embellishments and motifs of Kutch, the bandhani techniques of Bhuj and traditional weaves of Balochistan. Ranawat marries these strong ethnic themes from Western India and beyond in a collection that combines the royal regalia of Emperors with the poetic notes of ancient cultures.
In his Sindh collection, Ranawat’s asymmetrical tunics, dhotis, skirts, trench coats and sheer cover-ups conjure up the flamboyant grandeur of the Nawabi era. He uses contemporary techniques in printing and embellishments like Swarovski crystals with lacquer finishes. Swarovski india has been associated with Rajdeep Ranawat since 2000 and continues to support the designer for all his new creations year after year.
Sindh is reminiscent of the mists of time but is rooted in the present. Bejewelled motifs from the Taj Mahal tell a story of eternal love and echo Ranawat’s enduring theme of ‘art to wear’.
The collection is inspired by the woman who is an urban nomad with a sense of luxury and confidence.
That’s not all. French high-fashion brand Ceriz is collaborating with Ranawat for his Sindh collection, to recreate footwear that’s very Rajdeep, completes the classy look.
The Garnish Co. known for their one of a kind handbags have collaborated with RR for coordinating Bags whereas Bana Studio from Delhi has played a vital role in the jewelleryduring the main campaign shoot.
Kitchen Therapy from Ahmedabad known for their scrumptious organic savouries have beautifully created eatables for the gifting as well.
