PORTFOLIO
Hollywood
The Hollywood segment is epitomised by looks that garner sex appeal and glamour, epitomising what American Style is all about, says Brunetti: “American Style is an eclectic blend of attitudes, from casual elegance to glamourous decadence. Iconic women, such as Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, defined an American fashion sense.”

Palm Beach
Wealth and glitz are celebrated in the Palm Beach segment of the collection. Yet androgyny plays a role in American style – even in glamourous looks, says Brunetti: “After the emergence of a less formal and slightly androgynous American style, Lauren Hutton took it a step further in her ‘Charlie’ fragrance campaign, sending the message to the global fashion community that androgyny and a strong, confident American style were here to stay.”

along with a clutch of brands from the Far East, the sprawling space offers a wide selection of every conceivable equipment and accessory for a spa or salon. Coming six years after the opening of the first Salon & Spa Studio in Mumbai, this outlet is set to become an important one-stop sourcing destination for salon and spa chains located in North India. “The equipment sourcing mechanism is not very organised or structured in India,” says Divya Kohli, proprietor, Tangy Rose. “This outlet is an attempt to consolidate the supply chain and give salon and spa owners a high-quality, credible destination to browse, compare and select from some of the finest available salon/spa equipment and accessories in the world today.” As the supplier of choice to most of India’s leading salon and hospitality brands, including Taj Group of Hotels, Marriott, Mahindra Resorts, Hotel Meridien, L’Oréal, Schwarzkopf, Toni & Guy, Affinity, Bounce, b:blunt, Gitanjali, Looks, Jean Claude Biguine, Oryza, Page 3, Mirrors, Mirrors & Within, Play, Jean-Claude Biguine, Neu Salonz, Iosis, Raih, Kromakay, Studio Profile, Kanya, Touch & Glow, Absolute Spa & Salon and Radiance, Kohli knows a thing or two about her customers’ needs. “My customers have time and again indicated the need for a consolidated space to peruse salon equipment and tools, much like their own customers shop for beauty products. This business-to-business outlet is a direct culmination of that feedback, and also reflects how fast the beauty services sector is evolving in India,” Kohli points out. As salon and spa numbers multiply by the day across India, Kohli sees tremendous opportunity in the salon support category. “Beauty is never going to go out of fashion,” she says. “As long as Indians invest in their health and appearance, salons and spas will not just flourish, but will also constantly raise the bar. And we intend to support this growth through world-class products and services,” she adds, concluding that further outlets are planned in the near term.
