A WOMAN AND HER BRAND- MADHURI MAMGAIN

Shoes are my all time weakness. It is not that I have a closet like that of Carrie Bradshaw’s in ‘Sex and the city’ with a pair of $525  Manolo Blahnik blue shoes sitting pretty in it, but I do have my own affordable little collection. There is something about women and their perfect pair of shoes, a kind of love one cannot describe. Sometimes a pair of good stilettos is all you need as a confidence booster and for someone standing at 5’2 like me, good shoes are what I run behind!

Madhuri Mamgain understands a woman’s love for shoes. Born into a family that celebrates the beauty that is a fine pair of shoes, she grew up watching her father design for his portfolio season after season and a love story blossomed. It would be proper to say that her Father was her true inspiration.

Right after graduating from Footwear Design and Development Institute, she joined Carlton London in March 2011 as a Creative Designer but soon realized her true calling and quit it in July 2011 to start a label of her own. A brand, that took her name.

Her first collection called ‘Massif , hand painted ballerinas’ were an instant hit and rightfully so due to the delicate and intricate designs that she personally painted on them. Every ballerina had a story to tell and was designed according to the customer’s preference. Her first export order came soon in February 2012 all the way from Japan and her base slowly expanded to include clients worldwide

The latest collection is all about providing luxury to your feet and royalty to your look. Exquisite designs experimented on with Swarovski crystals, lace, intricate thread work and even velvet, the shoes have a regal allure attached to them. The designs are exclusive and every pair screams of the hardwork that went behind its making.

With a dedication like hers, she was rightfully chosen to be the accessory designer in Anurag Kashyap’s next movie, set to release on  28^th of November 2014. She has even designed the accessory wardrobe for Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor, Anita Kanwal, Shahnaz Husain and  Feng Shui expert, Gita Kapoor.

Her work cannot be confined to the term ‘fashion’ because it supersedes all that. It is what you get when pure art meets high end fashion.

A WOMAN & HER BRAND- TARINI NIRULA

I am not a fashionista. To be quite frank, if you find me wearing anything remotely fashionable, it is probably an accident. Rarely do I look at an accessory or a bag and go ‘I need to have that in my life!’, but recently Tarini Nirula made me do just that!

Tarini is a young and vivacious Accessory Designer, an entrepreneur and the face behind the label that goes by the same name. Shortly after getting a degree specializing in Fashion & Lifestyle Accessories from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, she decided to be her own boss and launched her label in 2011 which has been creating waves ever since.

She believes that ‘simplicity is the best form of sophistication’ and her designs reflect just that. Never the one to go overboard, the bags are clean and classy with an aesthetic boldness attached to them. They are what fine craftsmanship is all about. She also keeps her artwork exclusive, which means that all her bags are limited edition. Simply put, every bag is a masterpiece.

Her love for experimenting with colours, techniques, hand-done ink artworks and her constant strive to be at par with the international trends without giving up on her roots, is why she is so sought after. She showcased her bags at the Wills India Fashion Week where she created exclusive designs for leading fashion designer Jenjum Gadi. Soon to follow was a collection commissioned by the acclaimed textile designer Bina Rao.

The bags are all limited edition pieces where every piece is synonymous to quality, finesse and timeless elegance. She was rightfully featured in leading magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Femina, Marie Claire, India Today and many others. To perk up the quotient even more, her designs were covered on NDTV Good Times in their popular show ‘I am too sexy for my shoes’. Her exclusive minaudière's are available at ‘Pernia’s Pop Up Shop’ which is curated by India’s leading stylist, Pernia Qureshi from Aisha fame.   

Tarini recently took a leap into weddings and home décor. She even carves out the perfect clutch that goes in sync with the outfit of the bride. Now you know where to get your dream clutch from!
