Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 4: Matsya by Utkarsh Ahuja has opened its doors in Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, marking the brand’s first flagship store in the city. Drawing from the design language of its existing space while establishing a distinct identity of its own, the new store brings together the designer’s personal aesthetic, their signature fireplaces and chandeliers to create an immersive setting. All the art on the walls has been collected personally by the designer across travels through antique shops, museums and flea markets, bringing together a blend of the old, new and iconic. It is also the first Matsya store dedicated entirely to couture. Styled in a very personal manner with books about the old masters, his love for Assouline, marble busts, smelling of tobacco, vanilla and tunes from the orchestra, Hans Zimmer, and his favourites on cello bring together the truly Matsya experience layered with the pinnacle of hospitality.
Spread across two floors, the store draws inspiration from the grandeur of a vintage palace. Moulded walls, antique accents, and hand-painted ceilings come together with faded blue walls, ornamented pillars, and gold detailing to create a rich yet understated setting. The original structure of the building has been retained, allowing its character to shape the space while the interiors introduce a distinctly Matsya sensibility. This store is completed with a custom carpet that runs along the staircase, leading to two spacious trial lounges. Designed as more than conventional changing rooms, each lounge features its own seating area, offering clients a more private and personalised experience while discovering the couture collections.
