The Collective in Delhi is a one of its kind, super-premium retail concept, known for its breadth of exclusive fashion with over 100 of the world’s best fashion brands under one roof known for menswear and accessories ..... If you want to pick up a head to toe Versace look .... or maybe the latest "It" bag .... or a luxury cufflink to amp up your evening look .... this is The Go to Store in the Capital !!!! ..... Recently we were invited to have a detailed interaction with Tateossian, London ..... an unique jewellery and accessory brand by designer Robert Tateossian who is better known as the "King of Cufflinks".... and we were totally amazed at how such a lil bit of finery could amp up a gentleman's sartorial credentials sky high !! .... Literally at that !!!! ..... The star of the collection was this meteorite limited edition cufflinks made from a Meteor that landed on earth 5000 years ago from outer space and probably 30,000 old !!!! ..... Fashion nerds that we are .... the whole story of Tateossian captivated us due to these historically significant investment pieces !!! ..... But for us at DSB, it was a tete a tete with Julie Woodhead, Buying Director of The Collective, and Ekta Rajani, Fashion Director of Grazia, India that really made this blogpost happen !! ....... Imagine a job as the buyer for an Aditya Birla Group venture ...... the limitless funds ..... the best of Global luxury brands to choose from .... and a shopping spree to stock a store !!! .... OMG is there a heaven better than that for fashionistas ? .... Julie is one lucky lady in a job which is her passion as she talked about the various luxury brands The Collective curates ..... Ekta Rajani of course needs no introduction to us Indians .... She is one of India's foremost Stylists, Fashion Savant and Fashion Mag Journo .... She has always been a hit with us Bloggers because as Fashion Director of Grazia ..... she keeps a sharp eye on the fledgling Fashion Blogging industry and makes it a point to notice and applaud our individual voices as Street Style Fashion Artists whenever she meets us at Fashion Weeks and other industry events !! .... When Julie gifted us the The Collective's Autumn Winter 2013 Collection Coffee Table Edition "The Green Room" .... we were ecstatic !! ...... First because i love Coffee Table Books .... its print in a world gone Digital .... its Hardcover with the very best of photographs, illustration and concise prose .... it looks pretty as a Drawing Room accessory .... and its the creme de la creme of premium advertisement !! ..... The Green Room is very stylishly curated .... and no wonder why !! .... The Collective in its infinite wisdom roped in eight of India's best Celebrity Stylists, Ekta being one ..... to create a wardrobe out of the store's collection .... based on Four Themes of Drama, Narcissism, Chaos and Debauched .... in their Signature Styles supported by a phalanx of models, make up artists and photographers ..... to truly create India's first Style Collective !!! ..... Now that the store is offering Duty Free Shopping .... aka 40% less on iconic brands such as Armani Collezioni, Ted Baker, Fred Perry, Versace Jeans, Hackett, Lagerfeld, True Religion, Versace Collection and many more ..... starting today the 6th of December till the 8th of December ..... we at DSB thought of sharing  excerpts from "the Green Room", their lookbook this season .... with you dear readers !! ....
