As fashion forward trends are rapidly transforming from the runways into interior design showrooms, it appears that society is now demanding to furnish their homes the way they would dress themselves. From patterns to materials, colours and geometric shapes; noted fashion designer, Tarun Tahiliani, and Editor-in-Chief of AD Middle East, Talib Choudhry; explore the extent of the influence of fashion on the design industry.

About Talib Choudhry:

Recently appointed Editor-in-Chief of AD Middle East, Talib Choudhry has held senior positions at several of the UK's most prestigious magazines and newspapers. He began his career on the features team at British ELLE before moving to the Sunday Times Style magazine as Interiors Editor. A stint as Associate Editor at iconic men's title Arena followed, after which he became Deputy Editor at ELLE Decoration. Most recently he was Design & Interiors Editor of the Telegraph Media Group and Editor-at-Large at ELLE Decoration.

About Tarun Tahiliani:

After seeing the vast potential in the fine clothing and couture industry that was evolving in India, in 1987, Tarun Tahiliani opened India’s first multi designer boutique, Ensemble, heralding a fashion and retail revolution in India. In 1990 Tahiliani founded The Tarun Tahiliani Design Studio, a studio that creates couture, diffusion and prêt-a-porter which are Indian in their sensibility, yet international in their appeal. A natural extension of his design aesthete has led Tarun Tahiliani to the field of architecture and interior design. He has designed boutique hotels, several secondary and holiday homes in Goa and has recently formalized an interior and architecture division that will work closely with several HNIs, institutions and builders to leverage his design sensibility across various projects.
