Rahull Verma

Rahull Verma has recently completed a Master of Art with distinction in Fashion Design and Technology, specialising in Womenswear from London College of Fashion.

Rahull graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi in 2008 with a gold medal in academic excellence. He then worked in the industry for two years to gain experience and build his portfolio to earn a spot in the class of MA in 2010.

Rahull’s strengths lie in pattern cutting and tailoring, along with an excellent understanding of fabrics and finishing which he mixes with his keen eye for aesthetics and attention to detail.

Experimental in approach, the inspiration for his MA collection - ‘_hybrid basic’ comes from the architectural influence on fashion; with reference to the concepts of ‘Deconstruction’ and ‘Difference’ coined by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. The two concepts are interpreted through pattern cutting methodology and fabrication respectively. The majority of the collection has been produced in-house by the designer himself.

‘_hybrid basic’ was nominated for the collection of the year award for 2012 and shown in a catwalk show at Victoria and Albert museum on Feb 2, 2012.
