In this modern world where
looks matter a lot, we are often perceived by how we dress and groom ourselves.
For century’s society norms, traditions & cultures and geographical
surroundings, around the world have dominated how we dress up; something we
call Fashion Trends in this neo-world.
Be it the Avant Garden, or
tropical Bohemian wear, the royal ensemble, or frugal street wear, everything
has somewhere emanated from these cultural and societal trends. But isn’t that a good thing? So we have
affordable mass fashion and then we have the affluent high end expensive fashion
that is meant for a very niche audience. Luxury fashion trends aren’t just about the
price tag they carry – they are a lot about the style and fashion statement
they reflect.
India has come a long way in
terms of the evolution of luxe fashion. Our fashion industry has adapted and
infused our rich heritage with the modern day global fashion influences. Be it
going green or over the top opulent fashion, you name it and Indian fashion has
it all. While all leading cities in the country have their own fashion events

About the designer and the brand:
Meet Riti,
the young and dynamic creative director of RSR by Riti Rahul Shah.A graduate
of Fashion Design from the prestigious Istituto Marangoni, London, Riti has worked alongside the stalwarts of the
fashion industry like, Mary Katrantzou, OSMAN, and
Irynvirgre.Her knowledge and experience
gained within the fashion industry is vast – having attended various workshops
at the British Fashion Council and working closely with London based PR company
BPCM during her time at OSMAN, she has also interned at every season of London
Fashion Week and Fashion Scout London during her four years of study, thus
giving her particular exposure in Runway fashion in departments of design, PR,
backstage management, and administration.
In 2017, her first ever Spring/Summer 2018
collection – EQUIPOISE was created, which quickly led to features in Rekt
Magazine UK, Dubai based luxury lifestyle blog ‘Amanqi
Edit’, HUF Magazine UK and Model Mag UK.Additionally, despite being a newly established label, at just under six
months old, RSR has successfully been featured on the esteemed ‘NotJustALabel.com’,
dressed Miss Europe in a bespoke EQUIPOISE design and, the brands’ Indian
Collection became available on Stage3.co.
With a brand identity of strength and power, and
with lines of ready-to-wear and Indian couture, RSR focuses on creating fashion
which acknowledges body form by de-gendering fabrics and celebrating androgyny
through the manufacturing of women swear, menswear, and kids wear.Ensuring
consistent attention to detail in the finishing, embroidery and pattern cutting
techniques, each design is created in the balance of bold, clean cut,
architectural and geometric shapes with an elegant and form-fitting silhouette.It
is this ability to combine bold contours
to build structures with dashes of embroidery for grace, which sets the young label RSR up for high esteem.
COSMOS
Cosmos
portrays the complex yet orderly system of the universe; just as each atom and
particle fuse together to create the wonder of the universe, each colour, shape
and silhouette interconnect to form the collection that is Cosmos.
With
several shapes, silhouettes and cuts embodying one space, it almost appears
chaotic.Yet it is in this creative
chaos in which my patterns, my bold silhouettes and aesthetic detailing
formulate to create a collection that not only becomes strong, sharp and
powerful but also one that humanises my art to become wearable.
Inspired
also by the ideology of the yin and yang, the use of black and white depict the
balance of positive/negative space - despite how seemingly contrary forces may
be, they are in fact complementary, just as geometric shapes and sharp cuts compliment
draping and organic silhouettes in the collection.And, with the addition of organic shapes to a
composition which is highly dominated by geometric structures, energy of
unpredictability is added. As a final collective, blue as a symbol of stability
embodies the balance between the two monochromatic hues, adding the fundamental
dynamism to a collection which is Cosmos.
FIRDAUS
From
the 19th century Gilded Age, and through the 1920s Art Deco period,
to the contemporary art of today, decades of the art world have produced
pieces, which represent the beauty of the peacock - a luxurious bird with
infamous feathers.And, just as many
artists have been before, the Indian Couture collection is inspired by the same.
Evoking
the RSR identity of architectural structures entwined with organic forms, the
essence of androgyny continues, with the peacock, in all its glamour and
beauty, being a male.Despite each
garment created for gendered body forms, the structured and sculpted
silhouettes combined with intricate and detailed Indian embroidery, produce a
rather gender neutral form.It is
additionally, through the focus on the peacock’s movement and attitude of power
and pride, and an embodied persona is expressed within these multi-dimensional
and androgynous pieces.
Therefore,
the peacock is much more than a symbol of beauty and glamour; it is a
multi-faceted, heritage enriched emblem.And, with detailed finishing, handcrafted Indian embroidery and popular colours of red, pink and gold at the core of
each garment, how could the iridescent bird of India not be the inspiration
behind RSR’s first Indian couture collection?
RSR is a must stop shop
for all those who consider themselves in the know with fashion and style. Riti’s
work is very up to date and even ahead of what is in style, providing customers
an opportunity to shop by occasion and find clothes that one must simply own.
Come meet
Riti in person and explore her Firdaus and Cosmos collection at the
Bougainvillea Luxury Fashion & Lifestyle Event at Taj Vivanta, Panjim, Goa
on the 1st and 2nd Sept 2018.It is our belief that you won’t just pick
one!
Are you a designer trying to attract affluent clients? Do you want your work to
be seen and appreciated as a luxury brand rather than just another shop of
clothes? Then you have to read on.
As a luxury fashion designer you might have often struggled to
attract clients who understand designer work. You feel accomplished when you
deal with clients who make quick decisions, don’t fuss over a budget, who has
great tastes for expensive fashion and wants to dress up exclusive.
Now isn’t that the exact type of client we all dream of? But as someone rightly said "No dream comes true, unless you wake up and go to work".
The reality of the matter is that being a good designer is not
enough. In a world full of duplicates, it is very important for a designer to
make his/her work visible to the right audience, at the right time, at the
right place.
Simply Put
Good Designer Work Showcased at the Correct Place Gets You Great
Customers
And believe it or not … showcasing your work to an elite
audience is easier than you can think! If you have still not registered, do so
now. Exhibit with us at the Bougainvillea Luxury Fashion & Lifestyle
Event at Taj Vivanta, Panjim Goa and attract the exclusive & rich
crowd of Goa to your business.
Here are some quick steps
on how to showcase your work to the
crème del a crème of Goa
1.) Define your audience: understand what kind of fashion drives
their purchasing habits. Beware; the high level, wealthy buyers are very
informed and up-to-date with the latest in fashion.
2.) Make your work visible on relevant portals: Social media is
definitely a place to quickly attract and engage your audience but offline
events are still the place where a sale happens. By exhibiting your work at
luxury & lifestyle fashion events you are assured a return on
investments and win-win relationships with serious luxury fashion lovers.
3.) Personalise your services: One size does not fit all! Definitely
not when it comes to an elite audience. One thing every well-off buyer wants is
an outfit that gives them a chance to brag about and boost their ego and
elevate their social presence.They
expect great custom design, terrific personalised service, good value for their
purchases and last but not the least an extraordinary experience.
4.) Sponsor Fashion Events: If you
are an established brand looking to enter new markets, geographies sponsorship
is the way to go. While you are not right in front of your buyers you make sure
your buyers have the best experience. Strategically thought on-site brand, logo
placement helps get you all the attention you want. At the end, a take away
note or gift with your branding makes sure you have made way into the homes of
the otherwise elusive well-to-do crowd.
5.) Translate online conversations into sales: Creating enough buzz
on the social space is no good if you aren’t able to convert them into an
offline sales. So make sure you are able to offer something different and
exclusive that encourages your customers go tell their friends that ‘you’
designed their outfits. Owners Pride, Others Envy! Is Your Win
We would be delighted to see
you showcase your exclusive
designs to the elite and prosperous audience of Goa. So think no
more, come and grab the last few spots at the event.

“Style is the way to say who you are
without having to speak”
― Rachel Zoe
With this easy-to-use guide, enthusiastic fashionista can
develop upscale wardrobes in no time. You will be able to say no to fast
fashion and spot the best of designer work. Now you can look forward to a
wardrobe that is full of designer labels to pick the best quality items in
clothes, shoes, jewellery, scarves, and other accessories.
1.
Don’t buy just for that one occasion
Admit
it! we all are guilty of splurging money to look good for just that one
occasion whatever it may be. Looking your best for the occasion is an
inevitably feeling but do you ever think when and where would you next wear
this dress? The trick is to have more versatile pieces in your wardrobe instead
of something dressy!
2.
Keep clothes that fit
We
all grow out of our favorite clothes sometime or the other and parting with
some clothes is difficult. But do not hold on to those old clothes in hopes
that you will fit into them one day. Rather do away with those which do not fit
and make way for the latest design trends to sit in your wardrobe.
3. Know thy self & buy clothes
that suit you
We often find ourselves buying things
at an impulse or just because it’s the latest trend or because you saw someone
else wearing it. But think before you jump into that sudden next luxurious buy.
Ask yourself, does that style suit me? Do I really look good in those cuts and
colors? If a dress does not make you
feel comfortable and confident, it is not for you!
4. Never buy fashion just because it
was a good bargain
Discounted purchases rarely qualify
as luxury fashion! Surely you should buy clothes with a huge markdown in price
but not all that is discounted is designer. Rather invest in good designer
work, even if a little expensive, and create a unique collection of outfits
that do not scream waste of money! Never buy something unless you are a 100%
sure that you completely love it.
5. Make way for the new
An excellent way to feel happy about
your wardrobe is to keep it manageable and that happens when you throw out some
the out the old clothes. Not only will it keep your wardrobe away from
overcrowding and looking messy but also give you more confidence with your
space management and shopping.
6. Luxury fashion does not always
mean going extravagant
One common perception is that luxury
fashion is expensive! Well yes it is in a way but sometimes we get so hooked to
typical and known labels and style ruts, that we overlook the newer and
upcoming names in fashion and style. While we frequently get drawn to buy those
trend-led clothes, do try to pick up some simple pieces like basic color tees,
accessories and more for your wardrobe. Team Bougainvillea suggest you keep
your eye open all round the year for pieces that you love and pick up items
that are lacking in your wardrobe. With some imagination you can combine and
mix the expensive and not so expensive purchases in style trends to keep
looking stylish.
7. Research more and discover newer
brands
Having a few core signature styles
and labels is a definite yes. But being stuck with them forever is not! Instead
try and discover some new amazing brands entering the market and be the first
one to introduce it in your social circuit. From high-end designer labels to
more affordable mid-range brands, keep exploring the newer and more stylish
brands.
Believe us!when we say being truly stylish does
not need a big budget or a huge walk-in wardrobe, rather all you need is to
know your own style and the sensibility of making sound decisions that helps
you spot items that you believe will really make your look Great. Don’t settle
for just good!
So come and pick up a few more gems
for your big luxurious wardrobe. We promise you it your fashion shopping will
be great fun and much easier! Here are the details you need to know
When: 1st and 2nd Sept 2018
Where: Taj Vivanta, Panjim, Goa.
Trust us when we say “you will miss
out on being elegant and fashionable if you do not visit this Luxury &Lifestyle Event”
