I'm extremely passionate about handloom industry: Rajesh Pratap
New Delhi, Oct 12: Ace fashion designer Rajesh Pratap Singh, who recently collaborated with Kullu-based handloom weavers Bhuttico for a collection, says he is passionate about the handloom industry which is his source of inspiration.
Rajesh Pratap and Bhuttico's fashionable affair was held in Kullu last week and highlighted the farm-to-fashion journey of Merino wool which is part of the Woolmark Company's Grown In Australia, Made In India initiative.
"I am extremely passionate about the handloom industry as it is the primary source of my inspiration. I love the versatility of Merino wool, especially since it's so easy to work with and supports various techniques and blends," Rajesh Pratap said in a statement.
The designer, who is known for using Indian textiles and for working with ikat, presented a menswear and womenswear collection. The special line focused on the handloom journey of Bhuttico and their rich legacy.
The collection was a juxtaposition of clean lines and colourful weaves, and highlighted Rajesh Pratap's signature minimal aesthetics and intense construction.
The designer feels "the fashion fraternity has constantly been striving to highlight the textile and handloom industry in India".
"Owing to our country's rich heritage each state adds another dimension of culture which is also captured beautifully by our weaves," he said.
