Wearable Art

#1

Known for his glamorous creations, designer Rajdeep Ranawat has over the years constantly strived to experiment with not just different materials, cuts and silhouettes but also themes. Launched in October 2004, his label draws inspiration from nature and specialises in luxury goods like haute couture, pret-a-porter, resortwear, diffusion, among others, for both men and women. Creating apparel that he describes as “art to wear”, the label strives to incorporate elegance, class, and originality to practical designs. ‘We try out best to utilise Indian artisan skills and techniques to produce fine embroidered, sequinned, beaded motifs and designs. Further, original digital and block prints in generic western silhouettes create a novel blend,’ says Ranawat.

His collections have always been diverse—from sensuous resort wear to fine wedding wear and Rann of Kutch-inspired sleek indo-western outfits. His trademark however, is flowy silhouettes that look good on all types of figures, pure fabrics, dynamic prints and beautiful embellishments that make a dazzling statement.

This season, the designer is all set to launch a special Diwali line with the latest Svargaloka Bali-inspired collection of tunics and pallazo sets. Inspired by the ancient temples in Bali and Ubud regions of Indonesia, this collection is the perfect start to the festive season. The highlights of this line are prints in hues of navy, orange, black, charcoal, grey and ivory. So head to Ogaan to shop for his beautiful garments this festive season.
