Tarun Tahiliani founded his design studio in 1995. His distinctive signature has since evolved as a fusion of textile detail, refined luxury, and meticulous tailoring. The Tarun Tahiliani Design Studio creates couture, diffusion and prêt-a-porter which are Indian in their sensibility, yet international in their appeal. The rich heritage of the subcontinent is reinvented as contemporary high fashion through the genius of Indian craftsmanship and the finest textiles; along with Italian pattern cutting and construction and new technologies such as digital textile printing. His unique combination of historical opulence and contemporary chic also lend themselves to couture.
The Tarun Tahiliani brand has set out to create the ultimate “India Modern”: a brand with a view in the present moment, but, ultimately much steeped in the Indian traditions of draped form and the techniques that millions of Indian craftspeople imbibe with love. The silhouettes combine western notions of cut, construct and finish but using Indian heritage and craftsmanship.
nTarun Tahiliani has a degree in management from the Wharton School of Business and associate degree from The Fashion Institute of Technology, New York.

This year, his collection is titled as, “In Elysium : An Ethereal Lightness of Being”. In shimmering florals and weightless drapes, the mythical paradise of Elysium is recreated through the decadent lightness of Tarun Tahiliani Couture & Bridal Wear 18-19. Evoking images of paradise and angelic gardens, where gods and goddesses wander, gossamer panels are rendered in an ethereal lightness of being. Delicate gossamer-wrapped silhouettes are lifted in their Elysian inspiration through the intricate craftsmanship of an atelier in pursuit of lightness.
nJuxtaposing iconic European construction with classic Indian styles and embroideries, this collection exemplifies an India Modern aesthetic. In the structured lightness of every drape is the embodiment of a new voice of tradition. One that proudly carries a rich heritage into a modern way of life.
