TARUN TAHILIANI SS19

India By The Nile Is The Opulent Dipped-In-Gold Collection

Of the world’s oldest and most famous civilisations, the pharaohs of Egypt is up there with the
Mughal dynasty that once ruled over India’s many kingdoms. Both are still referenced heavily in
art and fashion thanks to their opulent style, mythology and power. Now Indian couturier Tarun
Tahiliani has fused these two inspirations for the brand’s SS19 collection, India by the Nile.

Conceived while the designer was cruising down the lazuli waters of the Nile on a trip to Egypt,
this collection dives deep into the ancient archives to retell the country’s historic legacy through
poetic design. It marries cultural symbolism and iconography with a contemporary approach
staying true to the label’s DNA

Tahiliani said: “The Egyptian experience is so enormous and spectacular, that it

completely engulfs you. On my recent visit, I was struck by the gold, the glamour, the
way they use semi-precious stones and drape their ivory linen fabrics — it all
reverberated so perfectly with our own design philosophy.”
The Spring Summer’19 collection, ‘India By The Nile’, celebrates extravagance from the
designer’s travels through Egypt.
Blending cultural symbolism and iconography with a contemporary, India.
