In an era of fashion designers, there are only a few names, which have the spunk to re-invent fashion and beacon it towards a new course.
When Rajesh Pratap Singh first launched his label 16 years back in 1997, little did the Indian fashion industry know that one and half decades into the business this blue-eyed boy would change the face of Indian ready-to-wear.
Although Rajesh has crossed this path all by himself in this flamboyant Indian fashion fraternity, he has managed to rise to fame for his outlandish and outré standards, impeccable tailoring, unparalleled perception for detailing and unrivaled sophistication.

Because of his singularity in the industry, he could easily gain confidence of some of the big names from the glamor world and could build a life-long friendship with those biggies.

He has now the endorsement and unflappable support of clientele from elite class, industry veterans and anyone with a penchant for fashion, which has earned him the title “Indispensable in the Indian Fashion Industry”.

When the designer was asked which piece he likes the best of all his creations so far, Rajesh had this to say:
“Everything I have done before is very close to my heart, however, I can’t look back and I don’t want to revisit any of my collections. The future, what lies ahead and what I will embark on next is all that is important to me.”
And the ace designer was quizzes on what’s next in his designing world, he continued,
“Well, there are many things, I export a lot of my collections and as I work a lot with various fabric mills like Arvind Mills, our collaborations result in research, development and new textiles.”

He further states that his market is not Bollywood and his clients are different. Someone wearing a Rajesh Pratap outfit should always be a person with lot of personality and one who has a flair for individualistic style.
That being said, it’s not your regular fashionista or metro sexual who is spotted in a Pratap outfit.
