The Indian designer showcased his new collection We, the People this week, and hidden within its intricate details is a tribute to the diversity of his country and the craftspeople he works with
After his hugely successful Tree of Life and Cosmos collections, which were showcased at Paris Couture Week for 2022 fall/winter and 2023 spring/summer respectively, Rahul Mishra returned with his latest 2023 fall/winter collection: We, the People.
