The upcoming Armoire pop-up in the city is their biggest show till date, asserts founder and city-based curator Nandini Varshnei. After their special showcase last month that featured Outhouse and designer duo Shivan and Narresh, the luxury pop-up shop is back with their 11th instalment - 'The Celebration Edit' featuring over 47 designers from across the country. “In the past, we have worked with a maximum number of 25 to 30 designers. But this time we have really scaled up, while keeping the ethos of the pop-up intact. The showcase is highly curated with each brand hand-picked by me. Unless I’m personally happy with the quality, the style and the prices, I won’t put them on my show,” shares Nandini, who started The Armoire in 2015.
