The world of fashion witnessed an exciting milestone as designer Bhawna Rao unveiled her much-anticipated flagship store. Known for her glamorous yet emotion-driven creations, Bhawna’s new space is more than just a retail destination — it’s a reflection of her journey, vision, and deep-rooted love for design. With luxe interiors inspired by Baroque and French architecture, the store showcases everything from romantic silhouettes to strong feminine forms, making it a must-visit for every fashion enthusiast.
To make the evening even more special, Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha graced the launch event, celebrating Bhawna’s big moment with elegance and warmth.
In an exclusive interview with India.com, both Nushrratt and Bhawna shared their thoughts on fashion, inspiration, and their personal style mantras.
“I love coming to someone’s dream that has finally turned into reality,” Nushrratt said with a smile, speaking about Bhawna’s store opening. “The vibe here is so loving and supportive, and the minute I walked in, I just wanted to see the clothes!” she added, emphasizing her excitement for Bhawna’s creations.
Bhawna, on the other hand, shared the philosophy that fuels her collections. “Women have always been my inspiration. They are empowered, emotional, romantic — and each of my collections is built around one of those emotions,” she said. Her latest line, as she revealed, revolves around romance, woven with elegance and intricately inspired by European architecture. “This time, I took cues from Baroque structures, columns, arches — especially the charm of French architecture,” Bhawna explained.
A firm believer in responsible fashion, Bhawna also touched upon the importance of sustainability in her design process. “Sustainability for me is not just a concept — it’s a responsibility. I believe in creating pieces that are timeless and seasonless. We use high-quality fabrics and thoughtful construction techniques so that each garment lasts longer and stays relevant beyond trends,” she noted. Her commitment to conscious luxury reflects not only in her collections but also in the ethical ethos of her brand.
The interaction got even more candid during a fun rapid-fire round. When asked about a fashion trend they wish would disappear, Nushrratt Bharuccha confessed, “Tight skinny jeans — I can’t do that, they’re the worst!” while Bhawna laughed and added, “Ultra low-waist denims! I would never wear those.”
And when it came to the one staple every woman should own? Both were in sync — “A white shirt dress. You just can’t go wrong with it. Classic and versatile.”
Bhawna also spoke passionately about her creative freedom and the importance of understanding the roots of fashion: “If you’re in the world of creativity, you have to dig deep. Without that, you can’t come up with something new.”
The evening wrapped up with energy, laughter, and a shared sense of pride. Bhawna’s store launch wasn’t just about fashion — it was about passion, sustainability, and a celebration of everything that makes women beautiful in every form.
With industry stalwarts and celebrities backing her aesthetic, Bhawna Rao’s flagship store is set to become a fresh chapter in contemporary Indian fashion.
