How it all started?

Born and brought up in the holy city of Allahabad, Rahul joined R.I.C.A. in 2002 and enrolled in the 2 year Diploma Program (Fashion Designing). After successfully completing the course, Rahul joined well-known fashion designers, Rimple and Harpreet Narula (owners of the fashion label, “Aza”). Here, he honed his skills in fashion designing and gained complete knowledge of the ever evolving fashion market

Opportunities Knocking at the Door

With the right kind of support and training, Rahul was able to realize his dreams within a short span of time. After six months, he got the opportunity to work as an Assistant Designer with leading fashion designer duo, “Anjalee and Arjun Kapoor.” The duo has dressed famous Bollywood celebrities such as Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu to name a few and have studios in New Delhi, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Dubai.

Hard Work Always Pays Off

After learning the tricks of the trade, Rahul moved base to Delhi to work as a Senior Designer with Designers, “Kapil and Mmonika.” Their fashion label is available at all leading stores in India and abroad. They also launch their summer and winter festive collection at Lakme Fashion Week every year. Rahul works for almost eight hours a day and for even longer duration during peak times. He has no qualms regarding the long working hours as he is following his passion and doing what he loves the most. It has been four years now since he started working with this label and Rahul enjoys and cherishes every moment of it.

The Secret of Success

Rahul attributes his success to the teachers at R.I.C.A. who constantly guided him and nurtured his skills, thereby helping him to grow. His parents have also played an important role by constantly supporting him and allowing him to follow a less treaded path, especially for males. Today, Rahul specializes in women”s formal wear. Growing appreciation of clients and quick sales are some of the factors that motivate and encourage Rahul to keep working hard and do his best.
