What makes us human is our emotionality. Our ability to feel is unique and is the parent to all art because art is an expression of emotion. ‘Rasa – A Kaleidoscope of Emotions’, a project by our Fashion Design student Rutvika Gala is not just a collection of looks but is also a story. It reflects her inner world expressed through the aesthetic theory of navrasas.

Navrasa is the ancient Indian theory of aesthetics. Rutvika’s thesis explore human emotions through the lens of navrasas- raudra, karuna, hasya, bhayanka, bhibhista, veera, adbhuta, shringara and shantha that are depicted through her design process and design language.
