• Get a great mix of old stalwarts and edgier, fresher talent at Ensemble, India’s first multi-designer store. Sometimes you need to fall back on the drama that Tarun Tahiliani and Rohit Bal provide, but when your wardrobe needs a shot of adrenalin, turn to designers such as Gaurav Gupta and Morche by Amit Agarwal for glamour with a very New Age sensibility. At Ensemble stores in Mumbai and New Delhi; prices start at Rs5,000.
• Zoya, at Bandra, Mumbai, is the place for free spirits to get glam, with designers such as Wendell Rodricks, Savio Jon and Gaurav Gupta. Try on Gupta’s black pleated empire-line dress with a satin waistband (Rs12,350), or Jon’s slim, layered black georgette number with shiny rings around the neck as the only embellishment (Rs15,000). Of course, if you want to make a statement, Rodricks’ easy, laid-back georgette dresses are always an option.
