With reality and imagination woven into its fabric, Rahul Mishra’s Couture 2023 collection ‘We, The People’ strives to draw the enablers of couture, the artisans, to the face of its narrative. It envisions them as the juncture where artistic expression meets age-old craft and technical prowess that allows them the godlike ability to turn imagination into reality. The surfaces of the collection are an articulation of the fashion worker’s trance interlaced with their immediate reality.

‘We, The People’ is a work of wonderment that assumes if an embroiderer would really envision the adda (embroidery frame) turning into a lotus pond and if there is an instance when they feel themselves in the Sundarbans amidst its virgin forest, caressing a majestic tiger.
