Speaking of, ‘The Enchanted Garden,’ Mishra’s curtain-raiser collection had glamour, style, colour, but above all amazing crafts and embroidery that spoke a creative fashion language all its own.
Keeping the flora and fauna in mind, it was once again the unbelievable crafts that the designer stayed true to. With his forte being to imitate nature and the many elements on fabrics with the aid of craft and embroidery, Rahul went into intense floral mode.
From lush bouquets of Himalayan poppies, the designer’s floral basket moved to foxgloves and calla lilies that were luxuriously spread over the surface of the ensembles. The two and three-dimensional embellishments colorfully imitated nature with threads and beads, as flowers in varying sizes, vied for visual attention on the ramp.
An addition of bellflowers, hollyhocks, iris and anemones brought more colour to the embellishments. But Rahul didn’t stop just there as he ventured further into a magical garden of Mednilla Magnifica and the Queen Crape Myrtle along with Aztec Hibiscus, buttercup and Daphne as they all converged beautifully on the garments in their magnificent colours.
The silhouettes were utterly feminine well-structured and fluid allowing the embroidery to do all the creative talking. There was an exciting range of sharply cut jackets, floor-skimming gowns, swirling lehengas and saris, which offered a variety of options.
What a start, can’t wait for this joyride to begin!
