DESERT ROSE: An incantation. A quixotic crusade. To question, to search, to seek……..maybe find.
Rajesh Pratap Singh’s collection is inspired by the great gilded Indian Wedding, the desert and the Indian gulab. Woven, embroidered, printed. An extensive lean on the Poshak in various avatars. Pure, and not mired by popularism.
We stand in the present, acquiring from the past and looking to the future. A collection that speaks to the non-conformist, willing to embrace the uncustomary. A play of optics and the use of woven gold, silver, pastels and jewel tones. Custom made jewellery and hand-made footwear with metallic elements accessorize the look.
In the shadows of shapes we play. Some glitter in the dark. Some respite. Reverberating with the sounds of the Thar.
