The Gilded Indian Wedding and the Desert’s Charm
Rajesh Pratap Singh’s “DESERT ROSE” is an ode to the opulence and grandeur of the great Indian wedding. The collection draws from the lavishness of traditional poshaks (attires) in various avatars, intricately woven, embroidered, and printed to create a mesmerizing tapestry of couture. It effortlessly captures the essence of the desert’s charm, with its vastness, mystique, and ethereal beauty.

It celebrates the idea of standing in the present, drawing from the rich cultural heritage of the past, and looking toward an exciting and visionary future.
A Kaleidoscope of Colors and Textures
“DESERT ROSE” showcases a kaleidoscope of colors, from pastels to jewel tones, reflecting the vibrancy of Indian festivities and the desert’s enchantment. The clever play of optics and the use of woven gold and silver threads add a touch of regal splendor to the ensembles. Each garment resonates with craftsmanship, pure and untainted by popular trends.
Accessorizing the Dream
To complement the resplendent couture, Rajesh Pratap Singh presents custom-made jewelry and hand-made footwear with metallic elements. These accessories enhance the overall look and add an element of allure to the entire ensemble.
