SKETCHES OF THE ORIENT

Sketches of the Orient
Stall B40, Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week SS15

Oh!  bright orient unclouded skies; 
ye opening glades, distant grey spires 
and an unruffled glittering sea beyond,
pour all your enchantment 
and let it reflect your chastened image!

Collection Review by Jasmeen Dugal: "Rajdeep Ranawat's place in fashion's pantheon is assured. I say this with the confidence of an editor who has studied his collections spanning ten years. Each has a distinct narrative. "Sketches of the Orient" celebrates his tenth anniversary in fashion and echoes Oriental exoticism through a contemporary kaleidoscope. Using "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" as his backdrop, the prints capture clear Orient skies and pagodas that lull us into zen-like calmness with its sheer simplicity. Gradually the wave of elements strengthen as Ranawat clashes multicoloured prints, fabrics and embroideries. Is it a wonder then that each piece is a statement look? Do visit this stall for one of the most defining moments in fashion.
