About Rudraksh:
The first
multi designer store in Pune, Rudraksh has successfully bridged the gap in the
Pune market that existed for quality designer wear labels. Rudraksh was
inaugurated on September 7, 2008 at the hands of the very stylish &
successful actress Karishma Kapoor.
The store
has brought to its clientele an array of collections of over 180 talented and
well known designers from across India.
COLLECTION DETAILS:
Abraham& Thakore - When the fashion world talks of
minimalist geniuses, the names that occur to us almost instantly without a
deliberate ponder, are those of Abraham and Thakore. Delving into the men’s
world, we found their love for clean cuts, perfect fits and structured
silhouettes. The subtle hues and the pleasantly overwhelming white
create a harmony that ensures that these shirts and kurtas catch your
eye.
Akaaro - Gaurav Jai
Gupta of Akaaro has an interesting blend of cotton silks in his menswear line.
Marked by a generic concept of colour and material, Akaaro is intent on
producing woven classics.
Krishna Mehta -Krishna Mehta is no ordinary designer. She may well be, ironically, the
first lady of menswear. A passion for the ‘core’ of the garment, the textile,
is what led her to designing menswear. Menswear tended to be comparatively
minimalistic, sans “loads of work that loses the fabric”, and therefore remains
faithful to the textile. The first garment that she made was the kurta. Khadi,
Batik, Jamdani, Bandhej, Leheriya etc. were the fabrics she initially used.
Quirkbox - The
greatest ideas known to mankind are born as unrealistic thoughts and sheer
chaos. Quirk Box, the brainchild of two award winning, overworked, neurotic
designers with excessive levels of creative insanity, is a roller coaster ride
over a colourful rainbow full of pop, kitschy, loud, yummy, tangy products with
a load of attitude and spunk. Fun mens wear with a twist ; Shirts, jackets and
shorts.
Rajesh Pratap Singh - Rajesh
Pratap Singh's unique signature style subtly draws from his Indian roots to
craft artisinal garments that stand apart due to their faultlessly clean lines,
careful detailing and international silhouettes. His work epitomizes
simplicity, yet on closer look reveals his obsessive attention to
detail. He is a recipient of several awards in recognition of his design
and creativity. He received the Kingfisher Designer of the Year Award both in
2001 and 2005. He also received the Best Menswear Designer award at the Fashion
Awards held in 1996. Elle (May 2007), named him "Designer of the
Year" after the AW08 India Fashion Week. Rajesh has been names
"Designer of the Year" in the first GQ Men of the Year Awards in
September 2009. Newsweek June 2009, named Rajesh as one of India's most
talented designers.
We will be showcasing atleast a 100 products
of Rajesh Pratap Singh – bandhgalas, waistcoats, jackets, jodhpuri pants,
footwear and accessories.
