When we stumbled upon the Ranna Gill store in the streets of Colaba in Mumbai, we thought that we had uncovered a new talent that the world hadn’t heard about yet. In fact, Ranna has long since been discovered by the world and the likes of Anthropolgie for whom she has designed Clothing and Jewellery ranges. We were not surprised to learn this as she produces items that are so eye-catching they are hard to ignore.
The boutique itself was filled with colour. As soon as you entered you wanted to look at everything at once. We darted around the room as new details from dresses caught our eye, and flashes of saturated colours sent our adrenaline levels soaring. This is a designer for lovers of colour, although she does also have stunning black pieces highlighted with embroidery and beads. As well as long event dresses, in the boutique there were many wearable and fun looks. Short loose fitting shift dresses with Indian style necklines and intricate embellishments were my personal highlight.
If you can’t make it to Mumbai, then it is worth having a look at her pieces in Anthropologie. Unfortunately the Ranna Gill website could be improved as it does not currently do the designer justice, the facebook page however has some good photos of the ranges.
