Creating an unusual cocktail, the Spring Summer 2014 Collection by Rajdeep Ranawat blow’s you away on a journey to a sultry grove, rich with bamboo thickets, juicy fruits, vivid flowers and exotic birds; intercepted with the lighthearted themes and intricate designs of Rococo.

Taking two distinctly different themes designer creates a collection that has a more jocular, florid and graceful approach. With ornate and strong usage of creamy, pastel-like colors, asymmetrical designs, curves and gold, interlaced with tropical elements the collection has a fresh and unique feel ideal for the spring summer of 2014.

The essence of "Rococo goes Tropical" can be seen through the playfully designed prints and embroideries, which are total works of art.


The elements of both are used in such a way as to create a teasing dialogue full of elusive and camouflaging language & gestures; & are further enhanced with flowing yet feminine garment silhouettes. Highlights of Swarovski elements acts as accents through out the collection and hints of intricate  sheathing seen through out the collection in motifs of nature add to an element of rococo.


The delightful range of Accessories by Geetanjali Ranawat is a feast to the eyes.
