Tarun Tahiliani

Textile Artist

Delhi, India

Artist Tarun Tahiliani made his creative debut in 1994 at the Dorchester in London. This first fashion show launched a career that has spanned fashion, illustration and art, and established Tarun as a pioneer of the Indian Modern movement.

Tarun Tahiliani

Indian Modern is a synthesis, a blend… not being parochial. We are just Indians. We will take the best of everything and embrace and eventually become one thing.

Originally educated at Vassar College and the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, Tarun later formally studied fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York.

A master of aesthetic fusion, Tarun finds inspiration in the crafts of India as well as Western techniques and traditions. Travel forms the backbone of his creative process, but always as a collaborator rather than as a tourist. As a result, he is able to draw upon a wealth of skills, from bespoke tailoring to interior design. His interior design portfolio includes a luxury villa in Goa, and the Aish restaurant at the Park Hotel in Hyderabad. A polymath in his own right, Tarun's artworks embody his curious spirit.
