«The Superheroes» by Rahul Mishra
In a world increasingly disconnected from nature, Rahul Mishra‘s collection stands as a tribute to that beauty that at times goes unnoticed.
We live in an increasingly globalised world; today no one doubts the interconnected reality of which we are a part and which, at times, leads us to live too far removed from what is happening in nature around us.
Immersed in this reality is Rahul Mishra‘s collection, with which he plays at seducing us through a spring in which he seeks to keep us from forgetting where the deepest beauty lies.
Mishra gives shape to a collection, “The Superheroes“, full of incredible pieces.
He offers us sculptural combinations where the true and only protagonists are the beings that have traditionally gone unnoticed in nature despite having a fundamental role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem that surrounds us.
Highly enriched fabrics, transparencies, brocades, sequins, and glitter everywhere appear in this collection to pay homage to minuscule beings with essential roles in our daily lives.
Tulles, gauzes, and embroideries in pieces with sensual and daring cuts also leave room for impossible volumes that conquer and enamour.
With his collection, Mishra seeks to draw our attention and make us think. And no one can do this better than him. Few couturiers are as idiosyncratic as India’s most famous couturier; none outside Italy and France has matched the couture quality of the Indian-born virtuoso’s collection.
Brilliant tones, patterns extremely distinct and distinguished from what we are accustomed to seeing.
The supreme elegance of these handmade couture sculptures is destined to remind us, through each stitch, of the importance of not turning our paths away from the beings who, for centuries, have had the difficult role of acting as architects of life as we know it today.
The work with silk threads, synonymous with the atelier, is completed with zari, ek taar ka kaam and badla embroidery, glass beads, and rhinestones to achieve a sense of “biomimicry” within the motifs.
An exquisite fashion with which Rahul Mishra not only pays homage to the animals that are commonly considered as pests, but also invites us to reflect on what is truly important and that, on too many occasions, also forgotten as a consequence of the frenetic pace of life we lead.
An adventure for which Mishra invites us to opt for a collection that has become a true work of art worthy of the most daring superheroes.
