Beyonce’s Indian Connection

MUMBAI-BASED designer Rahul Mishra,whose recent Spring-Summer 2013 line has been stocked with the US website Rent the Runway,is clearly aiming for more. Giving him a shot in the arm is singer Beyonce Knowles. The singer and fashion icon has created her range called “Beyonce Boutique” for the website,where fashion lovers can hire designer outfits at a discount. Mishra,with his sheath dresses,is among the three designers/ brands to have made the final selection,apart from Emma Cook and MSGM. The Single Ladies star has selected her personal favourites from the site. “Coming from someone whose style statements are looked up to by scores of fans across the world,Beyonce’s endorsement is a big thing for me; it’s a validation of my work,” says Mishra.
