With his work with Ahilia Homes in Goa, New Delhi and across India, Tarun Tahiliani has joined the elitist rank of other global couture houses like Oscar De La Renta, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang among others who have gone beyond their portfolio of designing apparels to newer specialties – architecture, interiors and home accessories.
