In creative industries, a “forte” makes an
artist or a designer stand apart
We have been in business for the
past few months. Over this span of time, we have come across some extremely
talented and creative Fashion Designers. Located in various regions across
Delhi and Gurgaon, these couturiers are exceptionally good at what they do.
Here, “what they do” holds importance because each of them has their own
niche.
One may say that creativity is “unbound”.
However, most creative people bring together various worldly aspects (both
material and otherwise) into their area of specialization. This originality,
arising from an amalgamation of even the most unrelated elements, can be seen
in their creative offerings to the world.
The designers that we talk of are masters of their trade. They
bring about their visions and ideas in the form of beautifully designed pieces
of clothing.
Specialization – Wedding wear,
Gowns, Designer wear, Sarees and Drapes
Where- Gurgaon
Manpreet grew up in a true blue Punjabi family and has always been
fascinated by the “
chatak” colors found aplenty in Indian weddings.
Her background became an inspiration that drew her into building
Red
Couture, one of the leading label in fashion and luxury goods sector
in Gurgaon.
Manpreet is the go to designer for elegantly designed clothing. When you are
on the mission of “
wowing” everyone at a grand Indian wedding, you
must go for Manpreet’s designs.

The beauty of ethnic clothing lies in “
colorful yet elegant”. Are

Prasansha and Ashish are the dynamic duo behind
AHARIN.

inspired by the vintage forms of the world around us. No wonder, their Indo
Western designs are quite popular and have been exhibited at various renowned
Fashion shows.
