Featuring contemporary silhouettes like the angrakha sherwani, tailored dinner jackets, and asymmetrical designs, it presents a modern take on tradition.

“The great Indian wedding culminates in the actual ceremony and the heart of this is the groom. The modern groom, who comes with joy, modernity, and individuality. My vision blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary tailoring, ease and comfort for a modern lifestyle, which allows the young man today to express their unique narrative through refined silhouettes and artistry, that they’ve got accustomed to while wearing western clothes. You want Indian clothing to be supremely comfortable. Each piece is not just a clothing to be endured, it is something that’s worn for the most important days, it’s a statement of one’s self, crafted for a significant moment, and we know that the answer is Tasva.”says Tarun Tahiliani, Chief Design Officer, Tasva
