Rohit Bal, one of India's biggest fashion designers, dies at 63

Fashion Design Council confirmed the news. “We mourn the passing of Legendary designer Rohit Bal. He was a founding member of the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). Known for his unique blend of traditional patterns with modern sensibilities, Bal’s work redefined Indian fashion, and inspired generations. His legacy of artistry, and innovation along with forward thinking will live on in the fashion world. Rest in peace GUDDA. You are a legend,” FDC wrote in an IG post.

Only two weeks ago, Rohit presented his final collection at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. Last December, Bal was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Gurugram for cardiac issues.

His hospitalization last year had everyone worried that his time was coming. Fortunately he lived and had a whole other year of life and creativity.

May he rest in peace.

May his soul rest in peace 🙏
