A
graduate of JD Institute of Fashion Designing, he started his career by
designing for the store Roopam, during which he gained the required expertise
and entered Bollywood. In a very short time he has managed to create waves
in the fashion industry by designing for big names like Hrithik Roshan,
Shilpa Shetty, Rekha, Sridevi, Aftaab Shivdasani, Amisha Patel, Diya Mirza,
Esha Deol, Bipasha Basu, Manisha Koirala, Raveena Tandon. After establishing
himself in the industry he decided to branch out into the commercial aspect
of the trade. He opened a store retailing exclusive ladies & men designer
wear named ROCKY-S. This Brand label selling prêt was greatly appreciated.
The drive to gain international fame & success took him to Düsseldorf
- Germany where he participated in the IGEDO Fair in 1996 September. Now
he plans on venturing into the international market and globally be recognized
as a trendsetter.
LIFW
- Rocky S - Street Goth
As a designer Rocky S has really hit his stride with his best collection
to date. This was Goth inspired Street Vamp with attitude. A collection
from a designer whose work has matured, but who hasn't lost his funky
soul. All the current trends were there in spades: cut off pants on men
and women; asymmetrical hemlines: just below sea level, to knee skimming,
to longer still -all well balanced; 60's style graphic prints, streamlined
cargos, Indian embroidery and sequinery in his show in the Lakme India
Fashion Week (LIFW) 2003.
Silhouettes were varied: nothing radically new maybe, but well executed
in interesting fabric combinations. Good looking linens, played against
high quality synthetics worked with exciting surface treatments: slashing
fraying, embossing, and funky screen prints.
There was a sprinkling
of sharp tailored jackets, even a little pink check Chanel- inspired number
I but the majority were jeans style.
The main colour palette
was somber grey and black with splashes of electric orange and pink -baby
pinks and tones so shocking that Elsa would have been rocking.
The girls' killer
heels and the boys' footwear: moccasins, loafers and chunky flip flops
complimented the mood perfectly.
