And what better way to celebrate than to have a patron of The Collective & the man who symbolizes panache and effortless cool, Rahul Khanna present.
Consistently named one of the best dressed men in India, Rahul Khanna will interact with the customers present at the store and pick the men he thinks embody The Collective philosophy of sophisticated, understated chic. He will then go on to launch the Autumn Winter Collection of 2013.

The new collection comprises of a continuation of its Spring Summer trends as well as reimagined and updated styles fresh off the runway. The denim portfolio at The Collective sees reengineered denim in a variety of textures and print. The casual wear collections gets a whole new fillip with the addition of hippest new “it” brands of the season. This season, The Collective introduces Commune Des Paris, Les Benjamins, La Comedie Humaine and Scotch & Soda – four of the coolest new brands to join The Collective’s curetted portfolio. The designer collections transition your style from day to evening appropriate. The dinner jackets and tuxedos in luxurious fabrics like velvets, jacquards and merino and alpaca wool.

That’s not all! The party then moves to Shiros, with the who’s who of Bangalore in attendance. The sundowner with fine wine & good spirit will have Bangalore’s best celebrating the Five year anniversary of The Collective

On his association with The Collective, Rahul Khanna says; “I have been a customer of The Collective for many years. For me, The Collective stands for style and convenience. It’s great to be here celebrating 5 years of The Collective. I’d say here’s to 5 more!”

On The Collective completing 5 years in Bangalore, R. Satyajit, COO – International Brands and New Businesses, MGLRCL, says "5 years ago, when we started this journey of establishing India's 1st luxury multi brand store, the road ahead had looked challenging and almost tough. But looking back now, with 8 stores to our credit and thousands of fashionably satiated customers, the hard work seems to have been worth it. Bangalore is where we had opened our first store and today, as we celebrate on home grounds, I am confident that the road ahead is only more promising".

I have no words! :P

Sadly, I made it quite late to the event, and missed Rahul Khanna by a few minutes! Damn it! I broke a few traffic singnals, got caught by a cop as well, all for him! But alas!
I did have a little Twitter interaction with him thought! :D
He is such a humble soul apart from being a very handsome gentleman.


Going to end the post and stop drooling over the pictures, with a determined hope of seeing him soon! :)
