Fashion and lifestyle promoter Heena Kalantri (who represents labels such as Ravish Kapoor Designs, Bateel, Amber by Ankur Batra) and Ashna Kalra (fashion and lifestyle designer with LA Fashion Week and Paris Who's Next under her wing) jointly present Boudoir, a Trunk Show venture that will take place at regular intervals, bringing curated collections and limited editions by designers who aren't readily available in Mumbai and havemade a name for themselves in the national and international arena.

The first Boudoir Trunk Show will kick off on September 4 and will bring creations that aren't easily available across Mumbai's retail stores. Each of these have been handpicked by the duo, to unveil a formula that spells personal attention to detail, customised service and a highly talented line up of designer names. You'll spot fewer but larger stalls that allow guests to browse at leisure and even try out garments in special Boudoir cubicles, thus making it not just a luxurious but also a comfortable shopping experience, overall. "Boudoir is a day-long, exclusive concept that follows the formula of a Trunk Show bringing hitherto new names, new experiences to Mumbai each time -- a veritable trunk of treasures!" shares Kalantri.
