Couturier Raghavendra Rathore has always tried out-of-the-box, unconventional designs rather than sticking to trends.
He has come up with a minimalist and sophisticated line of winter/festive wear for men. His latest wedding collection has a focus on cuts, textures, and silhouette styles. The designs have an understated elegance and a deeper sense of style. Colours, textures, and small details form the core of the design plan, giving the wearer endless options to fulfill festive wardrobe requirements for the season.The line offers the classic achkan in many avatars and a host of jodhpuri bandhgala jackets and suits for the Indian wedding wardrobe.
For Raghavendra Rathore, the idea has always been to create ensembles that are firmly rooted in heritage while always exploring newer design possibilities. He has worked with global fashion names like Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta when he was a budding designer. In 1994, he catapulted the bandhgala on to the global fashion map and since then the brand has been the flag bearer of this ethnic ensemble, dressing up the who’s who of the world—from film and sports celebrities to royalty.
He is working on a Moroccan-inspired travel collection. The idea is to add new value to many aspects of the festive events that are part of any five to six-day-long wedding ceremony.
