"The
inspiration has been derived from the era
of 1940's and 1970's. It is an international
collection for which a lot of research has
been done. I found striking similarities
between the 1940's and 1970's look. The
70's look has been on a run but the 40's
was untouched. So I have highlighted the
1940's look in my collection, which is vintage
yet contemporary. "To stress upon the
vintage look, I used the original 1940's
track as background music while showcasing
the line," added Rina.
The
collection comprises tunics, skirts of varied lengths, corset tops,
bustiers, shorts, jackets, pleated pants, wraps and off-shoulder
dresses, accessorised with scarves and belts. The colours range
from black, charcoal and stark white to gun metal with generous
splashes of a brilliant red. "The colour inspiration comes
straight from my heart. Earlier I used a lot of black but this time
it is all about colours."
Fabrics
like brocade, silk, net, chiffon printed in Moroccan motifs are
embellished with sequins, patchwork, tie and dye, crochet, appliqué,
'vasli' and 'nakshi' work (embroidery done using a cardboard) of
Victorian era. "I have splendidly used 'vasli' and 'nakshi'
work in my collection which I had once seen at the Victorian Albert
Museum."
Rina
creates an illusion of volume by incorporating
a lot of pleats. She has shuffled with silhouettes
with clean rectangular lines, voluminous
sleeves and long dresses.
