Raas The Global Desi at New York Fashion Week

A truly global brand, Raas The Global Desi, takes eco-chic Indian fashion on a global platform. Their consumers are primarily American and European buyers who enjoy eccentric, glamorous, and avant-garde designs. The brand celebrates local artisanship, championing the next generation of Made in India designs with women asserting themselves at the core of the design process.

Versatile Pieces

Raas The Global Desi is a true representation of Indian fashion and its ability to foster and promote talent in the long term. All of the looks in the runway show are heavily embroidered and emblematic of the maximalist Indian aesthetic amalgamated with western designs for a truly global audience. From wearable everyday pieces to luxe bridal couture, the brand offers a wide range of eye-catching ensembles in effervescent hues, tie-dye, quilted textures, mesh panels, balloon sleeves, and more. The brand draws inspiration from various cultures, landmarks, traditions, and elements of folklore—their versatile pieces are ideal for someone who has a keen eye for detailing.

Why RAAS Stands Out?

The center of the story is around the brand’s streamlined take on classic couture tropes and the brilliance in its fearless use of color and emotional geometry. Furthermore, Raas The Global Desi focuses on social responsibility, social justice, diversity, inclusion, and female empowerment. It is a female-founded brand that has made “gender diversity an intentional focus from day one“. Moreover, it is one of those brands with fashion week credentials that tackle political news, feminism, and mental health in earnest. They embrace community and style with vacation-worthy wardrobe essentials. Check out their SS 2022 collection with an emphasis on maximalism and an eccentric take on quirky ’70s bohemia.
