About the designer:
Kiran Uttam Ghosh has been a part of the Indian Fashion Week from its inception in 2000 and through the years, having also presented her collection at Rome Couture Week with a well received ramp show.

She trained with British designer Jasper Conran in London.

Kiran is a designer who has defied categorization. Her clothes are understated, with silhouettes and characteristic textures that refuse to be bracketed by terms such as Eastern or Western.

God is in the details for her. There are designers that balk at boundaries, both in terms of their products and philosophies. Designers who make their mark and then stick within that comfort zone, refining and re-working essentially the same elements: safe, professional, but a little predictable. And then they are those who are forever pushing the boundaries, testing themselves with flights of imagination that result in brilliant new forms, edgy combinations of style and fabric and that take creativity to new levels. To that end, Kiran Uttam Ghosh’s clothes give her a global citizenship.

Her label, Kiran Uttam Ghosh, has a pret line steeped in practicality and a couture collection dipped in a certain classical charm.Kiran retails trans continentally with her presence in 8 countries and fashion stores all over India.
