A design from Rococo goes Tropical
His latest collection, Rococo goes Tropical, features several eclectic frills. The collection is a journey into a sultry grove, rich with bamboo thickets, juicy fruits, vivid flowers and exotic birds mixed with light-hearted themes and intricate designs. The resulting designs are fun and florid, in creamy, pastel-like colours and gold. The tropical elements add a fresh feel, apt for the Spring and Summer. The playful prints were created in Sanganer, Rajasthan, by hand-carving delicate blocks on fluid fabric. These were further imbued in summery hues and adorned with artistic embroideries. Swarovski elements and hints of intricate sheathing with motifs of nature are seen in many outfits.
The label Rajdeep Ranawat sells across India’s premier multi-designer stores, namely: Ogaan, AZA, Fuel, Designer Studio, Elan, Anahita, Laffaire, Sasya, Miraangi, Mairah etc. It also retails in countries like Hong Kong, South Africa, Jakarta, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, New York, Paris, Los Angeles and London etc.
