Raj Shroff of the brand Ravage on the things that shape his work
In her book, Unfolding: Contemporary Indian Textiles, author and artist Maggie Baxter has referred to Raj Shroff as a “maximalist”. One look at the collection sold under the brand Ravage, and you will understand why: sweeping silhouettes, embellished fabric and dramatic motifs characterise most of his work.
The Bengaluru-based designer waxes eloquent about his design sensibility, his latest collection and inspirations.
Ravages collection of dresses, jackets, and trousers manages to merge both modernity and tradition. “My designs this season are different. I have used the ancient ajrakh technique with a modern twist,” says the couturier, himself dressed in a loose, deep-blue ajrakh printed shirt.
