The heart of South Bombay has just been graced with a touch of unparalleled elegance and innovation as Kunal Anil Tanna unveils his new store in the culturally rich neighborhood of Kala Ghoda. The grand opening was nothing short of a sensory delight, showcasing Tanna’s unique vision of blending modern sophistication with timeless artistry. The event was co-hosted by the charismatic Isha Bhansali and event curator Tamira S., who added an extra layer of glamour to the evening. Guests were treated to an immersive experience, with the store’s signature blue monogram inviting everyone to unleash their creativity on canvas.

“The opening of this store in Kala Ghoda has been a dream come true,” shared Kunal Anil Tanna. “This neighborhood embodies the essence of cultural and artistic convergence, and has emerged as the Couture hub of Mumbai. I am ecstatic to create a space that mirrors my design philosophy of understated elegance, attention to detail and texture, and it’s an overall luxurious, calming oasis. With the easy access to the main road and the overall signature ivory aesthetics, I hope that every visitor feels as inspired and rejuvenated here as I do.”

The store’s minimalist design was a deliberate choice, inspired by a desire to create a serene retreat amidst Mumbai’s vibrant energy. This approach aligns perfectly with Kunal’s Less is More philosophy, allowing the collection to shine as the focal point of the space. The tranquil ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for showcasing his menswear collection, which has always been known for its impeccable tailoring and blend of classic and contemporary elements.

Isha Bhansali, who styled key influencers and guests for the launch, praised the collection's versatility and vibrant colours. “Having worked with Kunal for so many years, I’m thrilled to be a part of this milestone by styling some of the key influencers and guests at his launch party. I brought together his archival pieces and teamed them up with his current collections. I gave the ensembles a fun, contemporary vibe with his textures and colours being the focus of every look. His new collection of gota-embroidered kurtas and bundis are very versatile and a must-have in every man’s wardrobe. I especially love the way he plays with colour, and his pastels are my all-time favorite.”

Event curator Tamira S. echoed the excitement of the launch, noting, “Working alongside Kunal for his new store, understanding his unique approach and witnessing the process of translating his signature aesthetics into the interiors of the store has been super interesting and exciting. So much attention and detail goes into everything that he does! I’m so glad to be a part of this significant turning point in his journey.”

The evening was further enlivened by the musical talent of Pratyaksh Rajbhatt, who brought a lively twist to the event with his tabla performance and electronic beats. The combination of live music and the store’s serene ambiance created a memorable experience for all attendees.

The new store’s debut was a hit among Mumbai’s fashion connoisseurs, including Miss Malini, Nowshaad Rizwanullah, Shiv Sawhney, Rahul Gangwani, and Poorna Patel. Each piece from Kunal Anil Tanna’s collection struck a deep chord with the city’s style elite, reflecting the designer’s commitment to classic, minimalistic yet chic aesthetics.
