Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna presented future-facing glamour at India Couture Week with fusion style gowns for women and suits for men. The show concluded as Sobhita Dhulipala and Ishaan Khattar walked the ramp as the brand’s showstoppers in glimmering occasion wear.
Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna’s collection ‘Equinox’ was inspired by the Autumn Equinox and had a celestial aesthetic, the brand announced in a press release. 3D embroidery techniques mixed with sleek textiles for an opulent yet wearable style and the ensembles were styled by Daniel Franklin.
“Equinox marries faith and fable, with architecture and craft to birth a collection that is equally balanced,” said Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna in a press release. “Equinox’s patterns draw from the mathematical plotting of the sun and earth’s path, and their representation on vintage kaleidoscopic windows found across the world from Bombay to Manhattan. Much of the collection draws from long wintery walks where ancient metal fences with trellis designs were the only spot of floral hope. India Couture Week is the perfect place to launch a collection of artistic and craft details.”
The show was set to a sonic mix of deep house and tabla beats and set design by White Domers added to the ambience with a black mirror ramp. The show’s hair and makeup was crafted by Anu Kaushik with sleek lines and a soft glamour touch.
“This evening brought together the best of modern art, fashion, and jewellery design,” said jewellery partner Badalia Diamonds’ Ishmita and Golu Badalia. “We’re delighted to have partnered with Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna as their official jewellery partners for this grand and exquisite show. The unique designs and craftsmanship of our diamond pieces truly complemented each of the designer duo’s outstanding creations. We look forward to more such collaborations with like-minded artists in the future.”
The Fashion Design Council of India’s India Couture Week runs from July 25 to August 2 in New Delhi with shows streamed online. Sponsored by Hyundai, the fashion week runs in association with Reliance Brands Limited and features 16 designers to celebrate its 16th edition.
