I’m really struck by how beautiful and uplifting Rahul Mishra Fall/Winter 2016 show note is. It began with a quote from French philosopher Albert Camus:

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

– Albert Camus

I love how sincere Rahul Mishra is in dedicating his Fall / Winter 2016 collection (shown during Paris Fashion Week) as a message of love for the whole world. “The world needs more compassion, love and freedom to heal itself in the times we are living.” What a wonderful show note to read through.

Every time I see new collections from Rahul Mishra, I’m always flooded with DIY fashion inspirations. Emulating the way he combines fabrics and appliques would be awesome. Rahul Mishra Fall / Winter 2016 collection not only rejuvenates my desire for DIY fashion projects, but also rejuvenates my spirit in general thanks to the celebration of love.

He celebrates the craftsmen, especially for Indian textiles with centuries old history embedded in their intricacies. Timeless traditions and culturally diverse influences are the story of Rahul Mishra Fall / Winter 2016 collection.

The intricate tying and dyeing of fabric (Bandhini) are enriched with porcelain-like patterns with predominantly blue color. Merino wool are mixed with bandhini on silk to drape beautifully. Traditional techniques and meticulous detail works bring “forward the brand ideology of preserving beautiful stories of people, process, and craft.”

This is my favorite Rahul Mishra collection so far. The garments are beautiful and the message love is so precious. I’m all for beautiful fashion that’s in tune with global issues and human history like this. Bravo!
