“Carma brings together the most sought after designers in India, including established icons such as Sabyasachi and the best and brightest of new young designers. Specializing in women’s wear, Carma has a reputation as the best place for one-stop shopping for major buying occasions such as weddings, but also is terrific to pick up a signature piece.”

“Located quite close to the Qutb, this shopping village is located in one of Delhi’s newer planned gardens. The village is open daily between 11 am and 7 pm, and has some of the most interesting fashion designers in town, however until now the place has been quiet. Make sure to visit A+B Company, Alpana Bawa, Anamika Khanna, Fish Fry, Myra, Neeru Kumar and Rajesh Pratap Singh.”

“Visiting Sonam is his studio is one of my favorite Delhi experiences. His collection is global, nomadic and is a fusion of Eastern traditions and Western thought. This is very much like Sonam himself. A rich use of traditional techniques, such as hand-embroidery, hand-printing, hand-painting and patchwork are done in a contemporary way and enhance the classic silhouettes.”
