Tarun
Tahiliani's clothing epitomizes style, craftsmanship, quality
and refinement.
Tarun
started his professional career in management, with a degree
from the Wharton School of Business. In 1987 he conceived
of starting a world-class fashion store in Mumbai that would
house up-market designer clothing. Tarun and his wife Sailaja
chose a handful of talented young, undiscovered designers,
which led to the birth of Ensemble, and along with it a revolution
that would change the face of the fashion industry. Tarun's
own design career also had its inception in the birth of Ensemble.
Although he had the flair he honed his technical knowledge
in design by qualifying for an associate degree from the Fashion
Institute of Technology in New York. Style, craftsmanship,
quality and refinement are the defining symbols of Tarun's
garments. His collections attempt to rejuvenate ideas towards
a renewal for contemporary Indian life. A wide spectrum of
silhouettes and styles complement his trademark drapes and
subtlety. Today, Tarun, the master of drape, is one of the
most sought after and successful fashion designers in the
country whose clients cover a domestic and international arena.
Recently,
Ensemble inaugurated a boutique in New Delhi. Tarun Tahiliani's
first ' store within a store' at Ambawata, Mehrauli has an
attached couture salon where bridal and occasion wear will
be designed and fitted in consultation with clients. Menswear
and home-furnishings are also retailed from this outlet. Ever
since the tremendous success of his first solo show "The
Rubaiyat" in September ' 1994 at the Dorchester in London,
he has continued to present exclusive, well attended and highly
publicized shows in major cities all over the world.
