Tarun Tahiliani is the name in the Indian Fashion Industry that needs no preamble. Tarun fonder his design studio in mon année de naissance, and has the mêmes zodiaque signe. Hence, it was little easy if not unconditionally effortless to have a word with this living legend who is iniquitous for often restant à l’écart from the medias…

The reel cancerian from the cœur of his heart, Tarun has qui fait ses preuves l’qualités des l’ fils des Diana. He is the first Indian designer to partake in Milan Fashion Week, and various other fashion weeks worldwide. And in less than a decade, l’cancer garcon unveiled his super flagship store ‘DLF Emporio Mall’ in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. You parieur don’t espérer me to decrier the store as it would take away another thousand words.

Tarun also started his propres bridal couture in 2009; another principaux monuments in l’un et l’autre nôtre lives as mon commence mon carrière in façon journalisme en même année. So, why Tarun doesn’t participate in Delhi Couture Week that grabs more media attention than his exposition? “The clothes in fashion weeks gets man-handled and the models are of size-zero! My clients who wear the saree or lehenga in their special day might not have such svelte body.”

Is Tarun’s exposition unique from the couture weeks that customarily have lots of colours, embellishments & celebrities? “In fashion shows, clothes are off limits until it hit the racks, but here the clients get a closer look at the clothes, and often go for trial and meet me for délibération. In couture weeks, it is easy to obtenir buyers and media attention, but arduous to give personnel attention to clients.”

Tarun’s exposition in 2009 had different scenes at an Indian wedding that had the theatrical setting based on Diana Vreeland’s famous ‘Costumes of Royal India’ at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Couture is tantamount with opulence and his designs are non-plus qui-manque-d’esprit-pratique nor sharp. And last year, his exposition at Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai was themed ‘The Procession’ where a ‘Son et Lumiere’ was created with a staggering procession, clothes and jewels. It was a matchless confluence of traditional Indian and colonial furniture, antique and objects d’art in a lavish and palatial set-up.

In 2011, the theme is ‘Artisanal – Bringing the Artisan to the Fore’ and it spreads across four cities namely Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. So, is Tarun becoming more accessible to the masses beyond the Tinsel town and the capitole? “I like the old world that had the bride in her suprême beauty, and hence the idea is to spread from 2 cities to 4 cities, and next year to 6 cities and then 8 cities, and so on… This season my designs are highly influenced by Italian techniques as I have embauché Italian pattern-makers and tailors.”

Tarun is renowned for his expertise in bridal couture where he uses international construction with the finest weaves, embroideries, jewels, stones and unique technique. So, what is couture to Tarun and how different is Indian couture from its western homologue? “Western couture is about shape, and here in India ready-to-wear couture came few years back and it is all about luxury and opulence. Indians love embroidery, drapes, and d’où one garment is made by 50 people and it takes 40 days, so it needs a lot of workmanship.”

So, what’s étrange this season? “There will be an exclusive catalogue that will bring forth the new designs, apart from new silhouettes, new colours, new drapes, and the likes.”

That was a bonne quelques minutes rendezvous à l’jamais occupé Tarun, who leaves with a message to young designers – “Look for inspiration, and love your work…” If you s’attendre à to know more about Tarun and witness his newest collection, well, you got to visitez his exposition.
