Tarun Tahiliani’s India Modern Alia Allana • with Foreword by Fern Mallis contributions by Nonita Kalra and Sujata Assomull

Celebrated the world over today for his genius in combining traditional aesthetics with modern design, Tarun Tahiliani is renowned for being one of the pioneers of Indian sartorial renaissance. Over the twenty-five years of his extraordinary career, Tahiliani has most assiduously worked towards and forged the inspiring design philosophy of an ‘India Modern’.

With the transcendent vision to not just preserve but also reinvent Indian vestiary customs and practices, Tahiliani triumphantly infused the country’s drape culture with contemporary tailoring, sense of structure and silhouettes. The result has been an innovative array of fluid-yet- structured styles that have become synonymous with the studio’s name—the Mughal miniature jewelled tees, the structured draped dress, the concept sari, the chikankaari separates and, mostly, the corseted embroidery bridalwear with seamed panelled veils that contour over the body, caressing a woman’s curves.

Tahiliani’s eclectic and iconic designs that surpass couture boundaries have been showcased internationally, at fashion weeks throughout the world—from Milan to London, and donned by Indian celebrities and fashionistas to international popstars and fashion icons such as Lady Gaga and Winnie Harlow.

This stunning volume on Tarun Tahiliani’s work presents an account of the scintillating range of the atelier, from couture, bridal wear, menswear, and prêt-a-porter lines that are a brilliant synthesis of Indian textile heritage and international fashion sensibilities. Conceptualized as a stream-of-consciousness montage of photographs, sketches, foldouts and interwoven with essays by top fashion writers and sociologists, this publication endeavours to offer insight into the mindset, workings, and evolution of one of contemporary India’s pre-eminent design studios and its evolution.

Alia Allana is currently a staff reporter at Fountain Ink. Allana also fashion • lifestyle regularly contributes to several dailies on the subjects of foreign 348 pages, 374 photographs policy, the Middle East, crime, fashion, and social media.
