Payal Pratap Singh who launched her label- Payal Pratap in 2010 and has been assisting her husband Rajesh Pratap Singh, looked into her grandmother’s trunk for her autumn-winter 13-14 collection’s inspiration. The collection was decent enough to be worn without too much of effort and has a strongly reinvention of the past for today’s woman.

A few months back, Payal Pratap Singh has opened her first store in Delhi's Lodi Colony Main Market.

Rahul got inspired from the ancient Chintz and Islamic Jaali works and presented it a very contemporary style, through modern embroideries and weaves. ‘The Baroque Tree’ collection portrayed the strength of the modern woman along with a touch of fragility with the use of Organic Khaadi, fine Merino Wool and Double Weave Jacquards.

Resort-wear has been in fashion since “Coco” became “Chanel” but this has not been the case in India until recent times. There were not many designers doing resort wear and hence, there was never much available to be worn for the holiday calendar. This area of fashion has only seen a relatively recent market rising in India, giving way to designer collections for resort seasons. It is very interesting to see how these young designers have set a standard in the Indian resort wear market in just a short period of time. In fact, it won’t be wrong to say that Shivan and Narresh are the names that have made resort wear famous in India, with strong successful collections being showcased consecutively each season. Fontana, the themed Spring Summer ‘14 collection is a soulful interpretation of works by Lucio Fontana, an Italian Spatialist painter and sculptor. Fontana’s creations are an endorsement of three–dimensional space intercepting into otherwise two–dimensional surfaces, which the designer duo has used to give a bold look to their creations with immense sex appeal.
