New Delhi-based Rajasthani fashion
designer Rajesh Pratap Singh’s collections sit
somewhere in between historical reference
and modern relevance. Enjoying close
relationships with traditional Indian mills,
what makes Pratap’s creations unique is the
way he balances textile experimentation (he’s
big on cotton and weaves it to magnificent
effect) with restrained good taste. He’s
daring, even grand at times, but in a subtle
manner. Take this 100 percent organic cotton
shirt handmade in India. It’s fun, liberating
and exhilarating but in an understated way.
The kind of shirt that’ll get you noticed for its
details. (NL)
