| Shekhar Rahate Haute Couture presented his 2010 Fall/Winter Collection of couture gowns representing an array of colors, fits, details, and fabrics appropriate for any Red Carpet event. Some of the 26 looks were draping, while others were form fitting accentuating a woman's shape. All were elegant and each gown made a statement in its own way. |

Wedding dress embroidered organza with flowers and crystals. Story and photography by Stefhan Gordoan of SHGfoto.com Shekhar Rahate's Fall / Winter 2010 collection is inspired by "COLORS" ... The collection hopes to find new and interesting ways of putting colors and prints together. Since he was making a collection for FALL , he had to choose materials and colors that were fitting to that time of year. When thinking about the colors he should use, he wanted to go with darker shades instead of lighter ones that may be more appropriate for a spring or summer collection. The color palette, also called a "color lookup table," "lookup table," "index map," "color table" or "color map,"is a commonly used method for saving file space when creating 8-bit color images and is very important when you are trying to represent a season. Fortunately the palette worked & he has received many assignments for this collection ...Shekhar's fall / winter 2010 collection consists of chiffon / silk & satin with intricate hand beadwork & crystals. Exotic fabric, intricate detail, ornate colors are the elements of a haute couture gown, and his collection of high-class evening dresses more than encompass the beauty and elegance of a high-fashion frock creation. Applying more than 15 years of experience in the fashion industry, Shekhar has created a haute couture line that is both culturally inspired and inspiring. While browsing through his collection of posh evening gowns, it is evident that each dress is a mode masterpiece all its own. And with the variety in styles and fabrics – from form fitting, glistening satin evening gowns that accentuate a woman’s silhouette to flowy multi-pattern fabrics that allow a woman to move with comfort and grace – Shekhar’s gowns not only epitomize couture perfection but are worthy of red carpet attention. |
