There is a certain thrill in discovering a fashion label before everyone else starts talking about it.
India's independent fashion scene is full of designers experimenting with silhouettes, prints, textures and ideas that sit somewhere between traditional craft and contemporary culture.
The Curated Collective brings together a selection of independent fashion and lifestyle labels under one platform.
Here are 10 names worth discovering.
1. Akirah
For the shopper looking for contemporary fashion with a distinct point of view, Akirah is part of TCC's current brand edit.

A label featured within TCC's fashion edit, Ann Studio offers another perspective on contemporary dressing.
3. Aléia
Aléia forms part of TCC's growing roster of independent labels, bringing another voice into the collective.

Why discover through a collective?
The advantage of a multi-brand platform isn't simply convenience. It's context.
You can discover a dress from one designer, pair it with a bag from another and finish it with jewellery from somewhere completely different.
That's how personal style happens: not by buying an entire look from one brand, but by finding pieces that belong to you.
