Rahul Mishra: Floral Couture 2022 Collection

28 January 2022, Mumbai:

- "Liberating ourselves from any sort of limitation when it comes to devising a collection has been the most fulfilling part of this experience."

For Rahul Mishra, creating couture isn’t about setting new trends for the upcoming season – it’s about creating art by interspersing nature with his wildest imaginations. “As a designer, originality is very important for me, hence the internet is not where my inspiration stems from.

I draw my ideas from everything I see and feel around me. Nature is the most optimal influence in my process – this time around, I borrowed from the bountiful beauty of the Himalayas, where I am creating my safe haven.

Real flowers, ice-capped mountains, and other elements from the botanical wilderness have been reinterpreted in the form of couture.”

The Enchanted – rightly titled, the line appears to be straight out of a fantasy. From Greece to the Himalayas, Rahul’s muse will forever be mother earth. Always unearthing more than just solace from his travel escapades, the designer wanted to build a home and a creative sanctuary for himself and the team in the rural northern parts of India, away from the bustling civilisation.

While the dream home is yet to be built, the designer managed to engineer his architectural wonders in the form of exaggerated couture ensembles. “Liberating ourselves from any sort of limitation when it comes to devising a collection has been the most fulfilling part of this experience.

The Himalayan biodiversity is extensive, to poetically present it through fashion was equally challenging and amusing. Converting rare flowers like poppies, peace lilies, foxgloves, bellflowers, hollyhocks, iris and anemones into not just 3D surface ornamentation but also to give a garment the form and shape of these flowers was taking it to a whole new level in terms of construction.

Unadulterated by city lights, we cascaded the glimmering sky onto the silhouette – every component of the surrounding was infused through painstaking techniques.”
