Indian creatives have London on their minds.
Rahul Mishra, the first Indian designer to join the official Paris Couture Week calendar, is preparing to host a Diwali celebration in London on 15 October in partnership with Scottish whisky brand Johnnie Walker Blue Label. He is also in active discussions with potential London stockists, and exploring the possibility of a standalone store. “London has always been on our horizon,” Mishra says. “We are exploring how best to enter [the market] in a more permanent way. In the meantime, our dialogue with the UK continues through friends, clients and quiet engagements that occasionally surface in celebrations like this.”
