माँ पिता के सहयोग के बिना यह मुमकीन बिलकुल नहीं होता

सुभाष घई के इंस्टिट्यूट व्हिसलिंग वूड्स से फैशन डिजाइनिंग का कोर्स करने वाली रेतुजा पटेल के फेवरिट फैशन डिज़ाइनर सब्यसाची मुखर्जी हैं ।

बॉलीवुड और फैशन डिजाइनिंग का एक दुसरे से गहरा कनेक्शन रहा है इसलिए आज कल के युवा फैशन डिजाइनिंग में भी गहरी रूचि ले रहे हैं और इसे कैरियर के एक विकल्प के रूप में चुन रहे हैं. भोपाल की रहने वाली रेतुजा पटेल एक ऐसी ही युवा हैं जिन्हें फैशन डिजाइनिंग में बहुत ज्यादा इंटरेस्ट है । फिल्ममेकर सुभाष घई के व्हिसलिंग वूड्स इंटरनेशनल इंस्टिट्यूट  से उन्होंने फैशन डिजाइनिंग का कोर्स किया है. मुंबई के गोरेगांव स्थित नेस्को सेंटर में हुए इवेंट में व्हिसलिंग वुड्स की ओर से ग्रेजुएशन शो का आयोजन किया गया था. ऐयांना २०१९ नाम के इस शो में रेतुजा पटेल को काफी अच्छा रेस्पोंस मिला, उनकी थीम को पसंद किया गया ।

इसके बाद रेतुजा पटेल पोस्ट ग्रेजुएशन का कोर्स एब्रोड में करना चाहती हैं ।

12 वीं पास करने के बाद वह मुंबई आई और व्हिसलिंग वुड्स में एडमिशन ले लिया. बकौल रेतुजा पटेल ‘शुरू से ही कपड़ों के बारे में मेरी बड़ी गहरी दिलचस्पी थी. क्लोथिंग के ज़रिये खुद को एक्सप्रेस करने की इच्छा थी. व्हिसलिंग वुड्स के बारे में मुझे ऑनलाइन पता चला, इस वजह से भी मैं इस इंस्टिट्यूट से कोर्स करना चाहती थी क्योंकि यह सुभाष घई का है. फिल्मो और बॉलीवुड में भी मेरी गहरी दिलचस्पी रही है, साथ ही फैशन डिजाइनिंग और सिनेमा का कनेक्शन भी गहरा है. इसलिए मैंने सुभाष जी के इंस्टिट्यूट से कोर्स करने का सोचा ताकि फिल्मो को लेकर भी एक्सपोज़र मिलेगा. अगर मुझे मौका मिलेगा तो मैं फिल्मो में फैशन डिजाइनिंग का काम करना चाहती हूँ. मैं आलिया भट्ट और सोनम कपूर के लिए डिजाईन करना पसंद करुँगी क्योंकि दोनों एक्ट्रेस को फैशन की बड़ी अच्छी समझ है.”

सब्यसाची मुखर्जी रेतुजा पटेल के फेवरिट फैशन डिज़ाइनर हैं. वह कहती हैं ”सब्यसाची हमेशा नया नया प्रयोग करते रहते हैं और उनका हार्ड वर्क हम जैसे नए लोगों के लिए बहुत इंस्पाइरिंग होता है. नीता लुल्ला भी मुझे पसंद हैं.”

रेतुजा का कहना है कि सुभाष जी का इंस्टिट्यूट दो महीने का इंटर्नशिप हमें प्रोवाइड करता है. फिलहाल तो मेरा फोकस फैशन डिजाइनिंग पर है लेकिन नृत्य का भी मुझे बहुत शौक है. मेरी दिलचस्पी वेस्टर्न क्लोथिंग में ही है. चूँकि भोपाल को सिटी ऑफ़ लेक भी बोला जाता है इसलिए मेरा कनेक्शन ‘पिंक लेक’ से रहा है. इस वजह से लेक मुझे काफी इंस्पायर करते रहे हैं. मुझे पिंक कलर काफी पसंद है इस रंग से मैं बहुत ज्यादा अटैच्ड हूँ. इसलिए मैंने पिंक और लेक के कॉम्बिनेशन के अनुसार कलेक्शन पेश किया. माँ को देख देख कर भी मेरे मन में फैशन डिजाइनिंग के प्रति रूचि जगी क्योंकि फैशन उन्हें भी पसंद रहा है. मम्मी को भी कपड़ों का बहुत शौक रहा है, इसलिए शुरू से उनको देख कर भी मुझे इंस्पिरेशन मिली ।

रेतुजा पटेल आगे बताती हैं ”सबको लगता है कि फैशन डिजाइनिंग बहुत आसान है, लेकिन मैं लोगों को बता दूँ कि यह बिलकुल आसान नहीं है बल्कि मुश्किल काम है. इसमें हार्ड वर्क भी बहुत है ।

Being from the city of lakes ‘Bhopal’, from childhood I’m very much  connected to lakes so I’m inspired from something you would have  not seen that is the PINK LAKE, the place where real life & dream  meet. What inspired me the most is the pink color as pink  symbolises kind,sensitive nature which is I’m. So this is the lake in  Las Coloradas,Yucatan,Mexico. The lake is pink because of the red  coloured algae ‘rhodophyta’,’plankton’ & ’brime shrimp’.

Salt is a big buisness here and so I’m using salt resist dye effect.  Also the lake are formed into rectangles to allow for easier  collection of salt and therefore my collection has boxy silhouettes.  It is near to Rio Lagarto nature reserve and so we see so many  flamingos hanging out near lake and yes I will be using flamingos  silhouettes printed on the garments. Using Apophyllite crystal in trims

My collection is boxy, super ready to wear.

Style: Resort wear

Gender: Gender neutral.

Fabrics: Linen as it is a sustainable fabric.

Colors: Shades of pink and green from my moodboard.

COOL FACT: The reason flamingos are pink is because they  eat these pink creatures.

I WISH WE HAD PINK LAKES IN INDIA.
