La Martina teams up with Rajesh Pratap Singh for a collection at LFW
Esteemed Argentinean apparel brand, La Martina joined hands with one of India's foremost designers, Rajesh Pratap Singh, to launch a capsule collection at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week (LFW). Blending fashion and sport, the collection pays a tribute to the rich tradition and prestige of Polo in India.
Presenting their luxurious polo collection for Spring/Summer 2024, La Martina introduces a range of styles that have quickly become essential for both sports and fashion enthusiasts alike. From the adventurous La Martina Argentina line to the colonial-inspired aesthetics of the Guards Polo Club collection, each piece exudes the brand's commitment to expert craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
The collection accentuates heritage and innovation, featuring intricate details such as flat Knit Itarsia, fine mercerised flat knits, Chevron Itarsia variations, zardozi badges, hand block printing, and miniature art-inspired polo digital art. Drawing inspiration from the architecture of Jaipur, the embroidery reflects a meticulous blend of tradition and modernity. The fabrics, ranging from custom-woven jacquard to silk twill, along with satin prints and fine linens, are crafted with meticulous care, particularly evident in the riding breeches designed with distinct elegance.
A special highlight of the collection is the curation of handmade and hand block signatures, adding a striking fusion of the polo spirit and Rajasthan's heritage. The polo scarves, woven in the finest Pima and mercerised yarns, epitomise the perfect blend of heritage styling and modern luxury.
Expressing his excitement about the collaboration, Singh emphasises on the collection's tribute to the game of Polo in India, celebrating its enduring charm and deep-rooted cultural significance. .
