EVOLV

In a city used to shopping for designer wear in sprawling stores, a space in a mall might seem an unlikely location to pick up Manish Arora and Rohit Gandhi creations. But Evolv aspires to do just that— make high- end designers accessible to the youth. After its success in Delhi and Chennai, the store by Tina and Atul Malhotra opened in Pune last year and has been wowing Pune’s young fashionistas with high- end designers creating garments that are targeted at the young shopper. The racks boast of top names like Rohit Bal, Namrata Joshipura, and Rajesh Pratap Singh among others. Complete your look with their range of accessories from bags and footwear to even headphones.

Travel guides on Mumbai and Delhi, neatly packed in ethnic cloth bags, make the space seem friendly and warm.

The collection is youthful and India inspired aimed at everyone from teenagers to the young- at- heart.
