Tarun Tahiliani in Studio 8, Dubai - Saturday, January 30, 2010

 As a fashion student way back in 1995, there were a few names we all looked up to , and Tarun Tahiliani was definitely one of them.
Tarun literally pioneered the fashion Industry in India, started his career way back in 1987, with his first multi branded store called Ensemble and has been in the industry as one of the biggest names since then.
So when I was invited by Studio 8 to interview Tarun, I was obviously ecstatic.
Being a fashion designer myself its such and experience to interview designers like Tarun.
Gosh!! these are the people I used to look up to and still do, these are the designers I always dreamt of meeting and now I m getting a chance to interview them ....Dont I absolutely love my job..........
Walked into studio 8 and right in front was a mannequin draped in a golden saree that Shilpa Shetty wore for her engagement. It looked absolutely exotic.
Waited for a few minutes and here Tarun was right in front of me, and we started the interview.
Tarun''s designs though are very Indian but they do have an international appeal simply coz he concentrates a lot on the cuts .
When i asked him, " So what inspires Tarun Tahiliani" He looked right into my eyes and said "well!! women lke you. Right now I m getting inspired by you".
I was dumbfounded for a moment.......
We ended the evening  by having dinner together which was hosted by the lovely Owners of Studio 8 , Sarah and Saif belhasa.
Now this is what I call  Living the HIGH LIFE
Watch the interview soon on High Life Dubai

Lotsa love
