Unfolding a new chapter in the Indian fashion milieu, British designer, Simon Carter marks his India entry with the launch of `Simon Carter’ menswear brand. As part of his India visit, Simon Carter on Thursday launched the exclusive store in Mumbai at Phoenix Market City, Kurla and plans to launch the iconic designer wear menswear brand with 10 Simon Carter exclusive stores across the country by FY 2017-18. Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail had signed an exclusive deal with the brand last year.
A quintessential British brand, Simon Carter’s uniqueness is embossed in its quirky, yet sophisticated and stylish designs straddling full range of men’s clothing and accessories. With a conspicuous presence of heritage and tradition in its collection and an uncompromised attention to detail and quality, the brand philosophy is rooted in a tradition of eclectic English style, taking classic forms and adding a twist of eccentricity. The Simon Carter menswear collection is a playful mix of prints and colours, tailored fit for the modern man to give them a sense of exuberance and style.
Simon Carter India collection, designed for the individualistic and expressive Indian men, is inspired by India. The range that includes shirts and accessories is inspired by the everyday Indian life musings – the musical wedding bands, car, the beautiful Indian pariah dog leisurely stretching around, the energy at the railway station, etc.
Spread over 1,200 sq. ft, the Simon Carter exclusive store at Phoenix Market City, Mumbai personifies Simon Carter’s quirkiness and dynamism, with the store design being contemporary and modern, dispersed with British architectural elements.
Sharing his excitement on the launch in India, Founder and Designer, Simon Carter Ltd., Simon Carter said, “I’m proud to partner with Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail and so happy to bring authentic British style to India. I believe India suits Simon Carter and Simon Carter will most definitely suit India, with its high quality, witty and eclectic style of dressing for the modern Indian men. My inspiration comes from the world around me and my line for India is hugely inspired by India, its everyday things, places, boundless spirit and its heart-warming people. “
