About the show posthumously of Rohit Bal
As a label, this was his first showcase on the runway after the death of Ace designer last year. It is rare, in the Indian fashion industry for a designer-left-to-labeled label to maintain himself after its founder passes, let’s continue with a full-scale runway presentations alone.
Nevertheless, this is what is happening with the brand of Rohit Bal’s name. In the absence of a nominated successor, the label is now being sterers with a newly appointed creative director, Fraz Tasnim by an internal design team, and they are still confidently beating the wheels.
Rohit Bal’s label has succeeded in preserving the spirit of its main design language, rich Kashmiri effect, hand embroidery, and dramatic elegance, without any celebrity creative head or a group without the need for rebellion. Instead, it is dependent on institutional memory and in-house continuity to advance the heritage.
Globally, fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Channel, Givenchi and Louis Wuiton have shown that heritage brands can grow well beyond their founders, provided that the correct creative stevardship is in place.
