Luxury brand Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna has launched a new couture line ‘Nocturnum’ and thereby expanded its men’s and women’s occasion wear offerings.
“The celestial inspired collection offers a range of traditional and fusion style silhouettes ahead of the autumn festive season,” a press release stated
The couture collection features as its centrepiece a specially designed star-centric pattern which radiates from a central point.
The pattern symbolises the interconnectedness of the earth as well as the power of starlight, according to the designers.
Textiles which feature in the collection range from velvet and silk satins to tulles, designed to play with shadow and light.
While dramatic gowns are the order of the day for women, the men’s offering follows a traditional silhouette and longline jackets are modernised with intricate cut-out designs.
“We imagined what falling stars would look like if they streaked across the night sky and transformed into blooms before they met the surface of our planet,” the designer duo said in the press release.
“This is a collection about structure breathtaking down to emotion, birthing a collection that pushes the boundaries of haute couture,” they added.
“Our patterns draw from matadors, stars, and pixelated flowers, building kaleidoscopic botanicals that merge the past, present, and future,” the designers informed.
“Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna is a clothing brand from India, founded in 1997. They specialize in contemporary clothing for both men and women.
The designers draw inspiration from linear structures, geometrical lines and are greatly influenced by modern contemporary art.
“We draw inspiration from unique architectural forms, synonymous with metallic tones amalgamated with modern edgy elements,” their website mentioned.
