After completing a course in Apparel Merchandising at NIFT, he worked as a freelance designer and stylist for various leading export and fashion houses in New Delhi and Mumbai, in 1998 joined designer Rohit Gandhi and launched 'CUE'. Their collections are based on Straight Line clothing, retaining the very basic elements of style & quality, and keeping in mind the increasing demand for western wear in India, which has been ignored in the past. They keep their silhouettes sharp and defined with an emphasis on fabrics, cuts and a lot of detailing rather than on embellishments. The look this year is understated chic. The look this season for men is very comfortable. The suits are unstructured with concealed plackets and stylised collars. The fabrics used are very body friendly and wrinkle free. The fabrics have been chosen very carefully keeping body comfort…and the rapidly changing Indian seasons in mind, which means a lot of High Twisted Yarns, Blended linen Crepes, Light weight stretch performance fabrics and Ash Sprayed Knits. The colour palette is neutral with subtle dashes of pastel colours such as aqua, orange, lilac and mint green. Polka dots play an important role in the collection. LIFW’05 Collection This season belongs to the neo-gothic, romantic woman clad in textured velvets, sequined laces and appliquéd satins. The men discard grunge and revert to impeccably tailored velvets and bottom weight tweeds. The emphasis is more on detailing and textures. The style statements are as sporadic and intense as our interplay between matt and shine. The silhouettes have adorned themselves in luxury of a slightly bohemian import. One can easily spot the not so subtle gothic inspirations along with the opulence of of baroque and vintage directions. As we accomplish complex cowls and folds through the simplest of geometric pattern cutting, we also go retro with our finishes and surfaces that add class to our garments. New age fabrics like air-jet woven double layered poly-viscose combine with chiffons and tulle to exude a style which is as edgy as it is decadent. According to us the season is of opulence, textures and an exploration of the dark side of glam and beauty. View the Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna Collection |
