‘The Prince and the Maharaja’ is a transeasonal evening wear collection that references traditional Indian attire whilst playing with gender norms.
Wool is used to recontextualise western men’s tailoring with Indian textile methods such as mirror embroidery, metallic applique, and saree draping. Dramatic cuts and risque silhouettes are used to convey a modern touch, highlighting the body. High waistlines and powerful shoulders pay reference to the design shapes of the 1970s, in harmony with the dark tones and hues associated with old Bollywood.
This range offers two exclusive print designs that derive from the visuals of Indian patterns and motifs. Two exclusive textile fabrications were developed including; leather striped applique onto wool to enhance the appeal of armor, and metallic embellished applique onto organza to highlight the opulence in such delicacy.
This collection brings forth new ideas of cultural exploration and gender fluidity, playing with the concept of freed masculinity. Personified by the tale of two princes in love.
