Tribute Illustration Inspired by Rahul Mishra's Tree of Life Haute Couture Collection

 

Grartus paid tribute to renowned fashion designer Rahul Mishra with an illustration series inspired by “The Tree of Life,” his Haute Couture Fall-Winter 22-23 collection. Rahul Mishra, the only Indian designer invited by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to showcase at this prestigious event, presented a collection that redefined the boundaries of haute couture on a global scale.

Grartus illustrated 10 out of the 24 breathtaking looks from Mishra’s collection, capturing the intricate craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of each design. One of the standout pieces, which took an astounding 10,000 human hours to create, stands as a true testament to the artistry of haute couture. Through these illustrations, Grartus beautifully celebrated Mishra’s vision, showcasing how the art of “high sewing” transcends geographical boundaries, weaving together tradition and innovation.
