These various aspects of Rachman’s past come through in two of his product lines, the Sisters and the Brothers Collections.
The Sisters Collection : Designed for Ellis Dunn. With both Eastern and Western design influences, these fabric patterns are inspired by women. “Throughout my life, a woman not only gave birth to me, but women helped raise, sustain, and lift me.” This collection is an homage to the women in Rachman’s life. They are feminine and soft, yet powerful and strong. The Brothers Collection : This line takes a progressive approach regarding what it means to be male. It is a tribute to all the male figures in Rachman’s life. They are kind-hearted males with softer masculinity. The ideology translates into the textiles by using subdued colors that create a perfect balance.
