I love bright, rich hues, especially pinks, red-violets and purples. I am a complete girly girl who loves all the bells and whistles from sparkles and gemstones to lace and embroidery. Industrial, on the other hand, is void of any of those elements. It has more muted colors and a more traditionally masculine appearance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/fa98759e-4533-4929-b018-dd5550f27ada/tempImageS9flpw.png Gallery Ornate arches is an achromatic mood board inspired by Rajasthani architecture and pottery. The main picture is of the Jaipur Blue Palace. The focus is the architectural features of the palace including arches, curves, columns, and intricately intertwined filigree patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/5278f0c8-bca4-404c-92f8-5b935896c7a4/tempImageKbmosO.png Gallery The Cozy Autumn collection is NOT my own designs! These are from Ralph Lauren Fall 2020. The purpose of these illustrations was to demonstrate my croquis and fabric rendering skills. I took the liberty to change some colors and prints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/47ca277e-ba0d-4616-af00-1ea0a4b17b6f/tempImageMiDX5j.png Gallery Lost in Clouds is based off of an inspiration from nature. My inspiration was clouds, and I went with a magic evoking, dream like theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/ad67e670-deff-45d5-b991-43a5b46d3656/tempImageqCI3Uq.png Gallery Enchanted Garden is the source for the Incredeba line. This was a mock ghost design project where I designed a line for a celebrity. My celebrity is Indian TV actress Debattama Saha and her love for fairytales and florals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/f9728668-52d0-464d-a3ae-5f15945f09b4/tempImageOdVQwJ.png Gallery Incredeba, the title, is a mashup of the word incredible and Debattama's nick name Deba. She is the celebrity for whom I made this mock ghost design line. I took pastel spring hues and added a simple stylized rose motif pattern to all four looks. I incorporated sheer fabrics and ruffle trims to go with the fairytale theme. It is a more contemporary aesthetic for traditional Indian special occasion wear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/484f0222-35f0-4bb5-a967-896a4617be7c/Olivine+Rose+Moodboard1.png Gallery Olivine Rose is paired with the technical flats of the same name. I first started with a single image of tourmaline beads, one of my favorite semiprecious stones, and then chose other images belonging to the same color story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/ad12d677-3b5a-4b8d-9679-56b0cd117119/Olivine+Rose+Flats1.png Gallery The Olivine Rose collection is directly coming from the mood board of the same name. It is designed for the fall/winter season. I designed the flats and print designs all on Adobe Illustrator. https://www.raginipatel.com/home daily 1.0 2023-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/5c7f1dcf-8a09-417e-84ca-6934383d361e/tempImagehHRopA.jpg https://www.raginipatel.com/grad-line daily 0.75 2023-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/cf752dbf-d0bc-4cc1-879e-becf92e58b72/tempImageQONsCw.png Grad Line 2023 Jacquards and brocade are my absolute favorite fabrics. To me they are the most beautiful works of art fabric can be made to be. The blue diamonds wooly jacquard was the first to catch my eye at the fabric store, and I later realized It resembles the carved grates of many Indian palaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/31abea68-5ca8-4485-805d-a8ee5e683874/tempImagev4KN18.png Grad Line 2023 In my line I essentially drafted three versions of a tunic: a side slit tunic, a shark bite tunic, and a cropped tunic turned blouse. For the bottoms I mostly went with A-line shaping. A traditional ghagra (skirt), A-line palazzos, and what I call a handkerchief ghagra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/ed8ad610-11ce-4444-9f57-f3310a76523c/52960916939_22ad67e48f_6k.jpg Grad Line 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/6ab11dd1-b122-4907-93c3-984bbf9a21a9/tempImageT8jU9p.png Grad Line 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/ab3b28ff-a85b-48f5-acfc-2a31d0076da1/52960768866_fd8b4bcb50_6k.jpg Grad Line 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/e91d033b-d82e-4a91-afd3-75ec68c317c3/tempImageDWeiLt.png Grad Line 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/8962fe4e-9e13-433d-bda8-fc10698c5b82/tempImage1dZgJp.png Grad Line 2023 I adore brocades and was determined to find one for my line. At first, it seemed almost impossible to find one that worked with my theme and colors. One day while shopping with my mom, a glint of gold caught her eye. She pulled out the entire bolt and I immediately exclaimed, "Wow! This is the one!". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649e7403933f302ed357284f/a0f9472b-0467-4d4e-84be-cf2fec5d01d9/tempImage7UKPCz.png Grad Line 2023
