For his first Couture fashion show, Raakesh Agarvwal created a feast for the senses. Bringing to the fore a refreshing insight into a collection founded with a palate sated with colours and a balanced blend of symmetric shapes and forms, inspired by the female silhouette - Raakesh presented 'Première Classe' at the Pearl's Infrastructure Delhi Couture Week Grand Finale.
He presented a vision that went from glimmering flesh tones to delicious peaches. Then, his blushing pinks moved sinuously into fuchsia tones, ending their journey in seductive wines. In material, an unparalleled blend of silks, jerseys, tulle, that cascade flawlessly down the runway like harmonious limericks.
Spot a Sprite, ephemeral in a luxe bathing suit like a vision on a yacht or a sun-kissed beach in San Tropez, made of charmeuse lycra a creation of layers of techniques draped and accessorized with an acrylic belt, choker and cuffs.
Velvets and silk lamés completed the dream. With a chiffon sari accompanied by a bustier constructed of Perspex elements, Raakesh mixed the delicate with the daring, breathing fresh life into an ancient craft.
The collection comes to life in the form of dresses, crop jackets, draped pants, short dresses, gowns, saris and lehangas drawn together with masterful techniques. As always, his built-in structures, corset-like in strength, defined the body divine and turned his clothes into intricate, engineered works of art. Mixing fabrics and dyeing techniques, Raakesh's wondrous creations were a perfect testament to his mastery.
