The touch of Midas? Not quite literally, but Rajesh Pratap Singh has a done it again and in his own way. He called it the ‘Gold Rush’ collection and the audience soaked it all in. The show began with David Bowie‘s Space Oddity playing and model Sapna Kumar working a boxy pant-suit with dangling gold chains that set the mood from the first strut. As the pieces kept building the rush, the collection presented the work of Rajesh Pratap Singh where every little detail is strong but not in an ‘in-your-face’ kinda way. Still dramatic… How does he do it? The man will never tell but here are the looks we loved from the show.
