Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna’s couture collection, named ‘Equinox,’ draws its inspiration from the celestial event where the sun aligns with the earth, resulting in equal day and night. This recurring phenomenon holds ancient significance, symbolizing changing seasons and celestial romance. The designers masterfully combine elements of faith, fable, architecture, and craftsmanship to create a harmoniously balanced collection.
Khanna and Gandhi’s showcase displayed mesmerizing patterns brought to life through opulent, unlined fabrics and hypnotic 3D embroidery techniques. Reflecting the Autumn Equinox’s transition from summer to a season of new beginnings, the patterns draw inspiration from the mathematical trajectories of the sun and earth, as depicted on vintage kaleidoscopic windows worldwide, from Bombay to Manhattan.
The collection also draws inspiration from wintry walks, where the only glimpse of floral hope was found in ancient metal fences adorned with trellis designs. The colour palette evokes the vastness of the sky, featuring shades of blue, from Milkyway to vivid, accompanied by garnet, rosewood, and twilight lavender highlights.
One of the standout features of this collection is its representation of body art or tattoos on delicate gossamer fabric. By sculpting metallic brocades, organic handwoven fabrics, and silk velvet to fit the contours of the body, they create an illusion of wearable art.
Whether one finds themselves waltzing in historic palaces across the subcontinent or walking down the red carpet of a pre-wedding cocktail event, ‘Equinox’ promises garments that ignite the senses. Rohit + Rahul’s collection seamlessly blends artistic precision with luxurious fabrics and intricate craftsmanship, creating a captivating experience. Notably, the collection introduces glitch effects that disrupt traditional expectations and infuse the haute couture pieces with a contemporary flair. Each unexpected element pushes the boundaries of fashion, resulting in an avant-garde aesthetic that leaves a lasting impression.
The fashion gala, organised jointly by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) and Hyundai Motor India, will be held from July 25 to August 2 at the Taj Palace Hotel here.
