Tarun Tahiliani, one of India’s most celebrated fashion designers, is all set to showcase his latest collection at Lakme Fashion Week 2023. In an exclusive interview, he shared his inspiration for the collection and his thoughts on the Indian fashion industry.
Tahiliani’s collection for Lakme Fashion Week 2023 is inspired by the colours, finishes, and patterns of Kohler’s bathroom décor. He was drawn to the brand’s use of iridescent rose golds, faded metallics, regal peacock teals, deep royal indigos, matte greys, and timeless blacks. He also took inspiration from the intricate line works of Kohler’s Artist Editions Aranya, a creation by Pushpa Kumari on Madhubani art form.
Speaking about his inspiration, Tahiliani said, “I’ve always been fascinated by the way colours, finishes, and patterns can be used to create different moods and atmospheres. When I saw Kohler’s bathroom décor, I was immediately struck by the beauty and sophistication of their designs. I knew that I wanted to create a collection that captured the same essence.”
Tahiliani is also optimistic about the future of the Indian fashion industry. He believes that Indian designers are becoming increasingly recognized on the global stage and that the industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years.
He said, “The Indian fashion industry is incredibly vibrant and dynamic. There is so much talent and creativity in this country. I’m confident that Indian designers will continue to make their mark on the global stage in the years to come.”
Tahiliani’s showcase at Lakme Fashion Week 2023 is sure to be a highlight of the event. His collection is eagerly awaited by fashion enthusiasts all over the world.
