Wills India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2012 – Rajesh Pratap Singh

I don’t think I am qualified to say if it was or wasn’t Rajesh Pratap Singh’s best show ever(which was quite a debate, btw). But those clothes looked so vibrant, comfortable and gorgeous that I would love to spend my next summer luxuriously lounging around in them. We saw printed and layered shirt dresses some of which were hooded, sarees with jackets and structured/dhoti style trousers for women. He used many vibrant shades of orange, fuchsia, steel grey, red and a hint of yellow combined with big butterfly and geometric prints. For men, he used beige, grey, red and white and guess what Rohit Bal walked the ramp for him. Interesting! What I really liked about the show was that it was held outside the main venue so the pre-winter breeze just made it even better. Accessories used were chunky yet subdued and shoes were great! In fact I would like to know where were those shoes came from. I want. Thank you Rajest Pratap Singh for doing the things you do and the way you do them.

Delhi Couture Week ’11: Finale by Rohit Bal

Can you imagine a fashion show where the elite, the uppity snobs and the creme de la creme of society go into a collective trance induced by mesmerising clothes? You wouldn’t have to, if you witnessed the Rohit Bal bridal couture collection. Each garment was just sheer brilliance! It was bridal couture at its best complete with drama created by many a leafless tree, loaded with oodles of fresh gajras. The choice of music was interesting too – he chose Mozart 25th Symphony, Third movement which is synonymous with Titan Watch commercials which in turn are synonymous with weddings!! Arjun Rampal walked the ramp wearing a tuxedo with a big/bold SHOW STOPPER printed across his slim fit shirt.

But, more than all the drama and glamour what made the show a success was the collection. A great mix of textures, detailed embroidery, elegant cuts and rich floral motifs made the collection stand out. Rohit Bal was the only other designer other than Manish Malhotra to showcase menswear.

The show ended with a zestful flower-fight as awestruck guests and models threw Jasmine flowers at Arjun Rampal and Rohit Bal as the designer took a bow. In fact they even broke into a little jig! I did manage to capture it all on video, but first some pictures:
