Description
As he stitches together the final threads of his latest Paris Fashion Week collection, acclaimed Indian fashion designer Rahul Mishra is taking inspiration from France -- and a fellow master from another era.
"I want to achieve the impossible, I want to paint air," he told AFP, quoting the 19th-century impressionist painter Claude Monet.
Both men are known for their artistic urge to depict nature -- Monet on canvas, and Mishra on his extravagant haute couture gowns. His creations are a regular staple of the world's leading fashion magazines, where they are modelled by film stars including Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh.
