A member of the Jodhpur Royal family, Raghavendra Rathore began his creative journey with the study of Renaissance Art. His path into fashion was given firm foundation at Parsons School of Design in New York, which paved the way for him to work with Donna Karan, New York (DKNY) and subsequently, Oscar de la Renta. The influences of such iconic fashion institutes gave Raghavendra Rathore the impetus, desire and devotion to launch his own fashion label in India. From his immense creativity, inimitable style and exquisite flair, so was born the Raghavendra Rathore label in 1994.
Speaking about the launch of the brand in the UK, Raghavendra Rathore says, “I’m excited the UK will get to experience, firsthand, the flamboyancy of the Maharaja’s of Jodhpur, transposed in time by my meticulous craftsman and presented with a dash of British elegance. The collection highlights will be Classic Bandhgala Nehru jackets, Jawar waistcoats, Jodhpur breeches and Achkans, all of which will beautifully complement the soul of London. I’m also honoured that the designs and the cuts of my rural craftsman have found a place in a global hotspot like the UK, and this means a lot to my team.”
