Rahul Mishra presented an Impressionist inspired menswear and womenswear collection titled ‘The Lotus Pond’ as a digital showcase as part of India Couture Week.
Mishra’s latest couture collection, inspired by Impressionist artists including Monet, used a nature theme to explore the relationship between humans and the environment and promote a more eco-friendly approach. Mishra’s showcase took place of day two of the Fashion Design Council of India’s virtual edition of India Couture Week.
The collection was presented through a film and lookbook shot at the Tijara Fort-Palace and features traditional wear garments including lehengas, sherwanis, and sarees. Intricately embroidered natural scenes of ponds and vegetation evoke Impressionist paintings and 3D butterflies and flowers add a touch of whimsy.
Mishra was also asked by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to present a couture film as part of Paris Couture Week, which will feature digital showcases this season.
