On 20th May 2013, WLCI, Delhi, Fashion
Department had the honor of meeting Mr. Rajesh Pratap Singh an ace fashion designer
whose designs can be best described as
an obsessive attention to detail, simple yet complicated, modern yet
traditional. He belongs to Rajasthan and subsequent to his graduation from NIFT
Delhi, he worked in the fashion industry before starting his own line of men’s
and women’s clothing. He has over the years
created h is unique signature style that subtly draws from his Indian
roots to craft artisanal garments that stand apart due to their faultlessly
clean lines, careful detailing and international silhouettes. His work epitomizes
simplicity, but on closer look reveals his obsessive attention to detail. There
are many revival initiatives he has been associated with.
Rajesh Pratap Singh has bagged many awards under his credit:
- Designer of the year at GQ
Men of the year awards in 2009
- Designer of the year named
by Elle in 2007
- Kingfisher designer of the
year award in 2001 and 2005
The students from WLCI Fashion, Mumbai had a wonderful time
exploring the behind the scenes of the Lakme Fashion Week 2013 along with Nutan
Ma'am. This exposure to the last minute preparations, planning as well as the
process to a fashion event that is attended by the celebrities of the fashion
world was truly a unique experience for the students.
