The House of Rare launches 'RareFore' event concept

Apparel business The House of Rare has introduced RareFore, a new experiential event property designed to blend fashion with music, art, and conversation to celebrate the cultural richness of India. The recent debut edition brought together artists, performers, and thought leaders in an immersive setting curated to inspire dialogue and creative expression. RareFore featured live music from Kashmiri rabab player Adnan Manzoor and contemporary folk group The Aahvaan Project, alongside a performance of dastangoi, the Urdu storytelling tradition, by Himanshu Bajpai, the business announced in a press release. A community-led installation by The Aravani Art Project, a collective of trans-women and cis-women artists, added a visual layer to the event. The evening also included conversations with Shoba Narayan, Shilpa Sharma, Manu Chandra, and Akshika Poddar, who explored themes of identity and cultural continuity. Chef Manu Chandra designed a bespoke menu, complementing the artistic experience with a curated culinary journey. 'RareFore is not just an event– it's a night of discovery,' said RareFore's founder Akshika Poddar, in a press release. 'It's for those who seek something deeper, slower, and more soulful." Through RareFore, The House of Rare continues to expand its vision of fashion as a multidimensional experience, positioning itself as a cultural innovator in India's contemporary fashion landscape.
