Rahul Mishra is an Indian master couturier. He first showed at Paris Haute Couture in 2020. His spring summer 2023 offering was inspired by the cosmos. Using intricate embroidery, garments took 400 hour to 7,000 hours to create. From planets, rivers, castle like structures to feather-like texture, Mishra paints a world and it is painstakingly detailed.
The palette boasting myriads of blue, gold, bronze, green come together to tell a beautiful story, one that entreats the heart to dream. He is known for an interest in creating employment and has hired up to 1000 employees over the course of time.
His work is very special. I can envision it on the likes of Tilda Swinton, Bjork and the like.
It would be interesting to see what he might proffer a ready to wear line in terms of structure and embellishment.
Couture should inspire daydreaming and that his work does.
