Gloom and doom Rathore’s new collection, Left, is inspired by recession

One of India’s most popular designers, Raghavendra Rathore, will be participating at the upcoming WIFW 09 for fall winter in Delhi and his theme this time is aptly titled “left”, keeping the turbulent economic scenerio in mind. The economic gloom provides the inspiration for the collection. The line is inspired by this dark mood and goes to re-emphasize the left side through cuts and stitching lines.

Raghavendra Rathore says, “Diversification into other areas of design has given us a good understanding of the present market conditions. Moving from real estate design and development to iphone software and various other products, has enabled us to get the pulse of the market right.”

Mixing old-fashioned workmanship with modern aplomb, Rathore finds newer, subtle ways to evoke the spirit of a by-gone age with a fresher approach.

He enjoys working in various mediums such as lifestyle and home, interior and furnishing design, fashion design and now gourmet products.
