Rajesh Pratap Singh’s Spring Summer 2009 collection, unveiled in Paris, was a super-subtle affair with his signature micro-fine pleats, tucks, seams, impeccable finish and intimate detail. Each piece was like a mystery that unravelled only after a closer observation – superficially minimalist, but in reality, quite elaborate.

SHAPES: Streamlined geometric, with angular cuts and overlaps – even in the Jodhpur style trousers.

FABRICS: Organza, jersey and light-medium weight silks tell a sheer and opaque story.

COLOURS: Coral, crimson, frosty gradually morphed into the signature white, grey, silver and black palette.

ACCESSORIES: Almost minimalist mode - with transparent acrylic heels, some chunky acrylic jewellery and the occasional slim belt.
