RAHUL MISHRA COUTURE – ‘BUTTERFLY PEOPLE’ – AW 20/21
For the First Haute Couture Digital Fashion Week of FHCM, Butterfly People attempts to answer a simple, yet very pertinent question at our end— ‘what is the relevance of Couture in such times?’ The last few months have been a time when the entire atelier struggled together— “together” being the more important word here. We were anxious, like the rest of the world, because everything seemed uncertain. But we were together— in spirit. Couture felt like a leap of faith. It united us as we started thinking, ideating, sketching from the safety of our homes, and crafting the first samples with few embroiderers in the studio.
The core idea behind the luxury we are trying to cultivate is pushing for sustainable employment of the craft community. Indeed, there is an unperturbed expression of art through our motifs, but every stitch, every knot is strongly related to the present and future of an artisan, especially hit by the pandemic— the greatest leveller, that did not see race, religion or social hierarchy, but brought with itself a sea of change.
