In a special report of Times magazine in 1996, Rohit Bal was named as ‘India’s Master of fabric and fantasy’. Rohit Bal’s latest collection was inspired by ‘Ashta Dhatu’, the eight metals. And as the ‘inspiration’ implies, there were plenty of metallic hues, gold, copper, silver, iron and lead inspired. Time magazine, in its Special Report on India (March 25, 1996) profiled Rohit Bal as ‘India’s Master of Fabric and Fantasy.’ The regard he commands among the top echelons of Indian fashion is authorized by a discerning, high profile clientele, that includes some of India’s biggest names in the media, film, fashion and corporate world.

When you’re Rohit Bal, you’ve got to do something to keep the crowd saying “wow!” And Guddu bhaiya, as he is affectionately called in his hometown of New Delhi, has covered just about everything there is to cover in Western or Indian fashion. He is intensely concerned with design as an art form, and draws upon history, fantasy and folklore to create his masterpieces. Fashion pundits even credit him for setting the trend for every season, so wholly does he seem to understand the psyche of the target consumer. His fashion is intelligent and studied, imaginative and inspired.
