Quixotic Regalia: Rajdeep Ranawat Autumn Winter 2013 Collection Launch at Anahita

Autumn Winter 2013

Weaving a spell-binding tale, this season the AW 13 collection by Rajdeep Ranawat brings to you a hypothetical world that has hints of exotic medieval.

Gravitating toward the elegant economy of the construction of dress provided by antique models, using luxurious fabrics, elaborate ornamentation and intricate hand-embroidered textures, Rajdeep Ranawat brings to the season an enchanting feel of royal regalia, crowns, and court garments.

The ensembles are characterized strongly with their strenuous effort towards a dignified and elegant simplicity of construction; and are made distinct with prints in placements of intertwining fractions of parchments, paisleys and authentic medieval jewelry. These prints are further highlighted with low domes of beautiful Swarovski elements, the presence of fine, spiky metallic elements in relief on armbands and shoulder moldings and combined with rich velvets, silk georgettes, silk satins and silk dupions.

Abundant usages of gold and silver thread embroideries create striking-coloured garments. Other colors such as lapis lazuli blue, olive green, turquoise, purple, maroons and several shades of brown and creams dominate the entire collection.

Giving a sense of intrigue, adventure, romanticism and of eras that were long lost and yet did not exist, the clothes seem like telling a bewitching tale to all, which beckons the beholder to experience it.
