    With hospital beds lined-up in a symmetrical manner, Rajesh Pratap Singh’s AW collection focused on the structured and clinical affairs in life, which was enveloped in a monochromatic color palette of black and white. Garments were bold and mannish as a lot of reconstructed surfaces were created by the brand’s signature hand-seam detailing. Sheath dresses, pleated skirts and boat-shaped LBD’s were accessorized with patent brogues and feminine cat-eye frames. Double-breasted jackets were patch worked with chunks of leather here and there, as overlapping silhouettes were incorporated in tapered trousers and wrap-up dresses. Gingham checks were an absolute frontrunner, followed by geometrical pattern work that was incorporated onto Mandarin-collared jackets and bold tweedy coats. A-line dresses were imprinted with evideffint polka dots, as structured silhouettes were color-blocked to perfection. Wool ranging from fine Merino to traditional Ikat was used to create 50’s inspired garments that were fitted and daintily tailored. A lot of attention wad paid to tailoring as fitted coats dresses were worn over white crinkled shirts and belted harem pants.
