If you saw the sneak peeks on social media this past week, you’d know that the country’s premier Indian designer store, Ensemble just expanded. While branches of the store are dotted all over the posh areas of the city (and in Delhi), their flagship store at Kala Ghoda just went through a major upgrade. Now sprawled over 10,000 sq. ft. the boutique that started off with just five designers includes collections by Anamika Khanna, Monisha Jaising, Savio Jon, Pankaj & Nidhi, Payal Khandwala, Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra, to name a few.
The bridal haven now features an entire floor dedicated to Anamika Khanna’s gorgeous clothes, as well as her first men’s line. There’s an exclusive cruise collection from Monisha Jaising and more for men from Huemn. Jewellery makes up a big part of a wedding outfit and Ensemble’s roster of brands take care of that as well.
As their doors opened last evening, the fashion fraternity from all over the country came in to celebrate. We spotted Mehr Jessia Rampal, Surily Goel, Manish Malhotra, Amit Aggarwal, Raghavendra Rathore, Ujjwala Raut, Lakshmi Menon, Payal Singhal and Mansi Scott, to name a few.

While each outfit is more breathtaking than the next, another highlight at the store is a curated selection of handlooms, weaves and fabrics.
So if you weren’t already broke after all that festive shopping, gird your loins, because once you enter the new Ensemble, there’s no way you’re leaving empty handed.
