This year at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, luxury womenswear label ROOPA brought a colourful, cultural fashion-focused treat to the runway with their Resort 2019 collection.
With bright colours, especially bold pinks, reds and oranges, with vibrant, clashing prints, layers, frills and plenty of fabric walking down the runway, this was a show guaranteed to put you in a great mood!
There was clearly a big Indian influence and with sight and sound accounted for, you’d be forgiven for thinking you had just been immersed in a Bollywood film, where glamour and wearability stood side by side.
ROOPA‘s Resort 2019 collection, ‘Padma,’ showed off an original, detailed and hand-sewn aesthetic through their designs crafted with only the finest fabrics.
Blending ancient and modern techniques, ROOPA‘s manufacturing process is done by hand, making each piece truly unique with attention to detail woven into all designs.
Electrifying. Delicate. Beautiful. Traditional, yet modern.
We were enamoured by their entire collection! It was also a major plus that the designers booked mostly ethnic models to wear their designs complimenting their mesmerising designs.
