She believes in creating clothes that are have style and are wearable. Her style is shapely, well-cut, sexy clothes for women who are body conscious and confident. She uses vivid 'techno' colours that are definitely not for the faint hearted.

Her style appeals to women who are intelligent, well travelled and aware.

The silhouettes are clean, deconstructed and are mostly cut on bias. Precise engineering of the garment for perfect fit is given equal importance. Inspired by traditional Indian designs as much as international styles, she refuses to be typecast.

Kiran has just returned from Rome where her latest collection of kurtis and accessories was a runaway hit. With design houses like Renata Balestra, Valentino and even Versace looking seriously at ordering her lines.

LIFW 2005

Kiran Uttam Ghosh's LIFW 2005 Collection is a melange of drapes in various shapes, textures, techniques and hues. The line moves forward while imparting a retro feel and yet not limiting the Collection to any era. A play of print over print in many layers adds a new element and a third dimension to this collection. A Tribalite beadwork sensibility emerges at places especially when a 'fourth dimension ' is needed to enhance the fairly subdued colour story. The label KIMONO specialises in intricate, detailed embroidery which is essentially the base of this line too.The colour palette ranges from smokey pastels to coral and gold.
