Delhi comes to Mumbai in the guise of four designers who have settled themselves in the best address in town, 7 Best Marg. Shirin Mehta helps you get familiar with the new incumbents
Four labels have quietly moved into a large, open-planned store at Colaba, in Mumbai, next to the heritage structure of the Gateway of India. Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, Kavita Bhartia and Ranna Gill, veteran designers from Delhi, are all set to feel the pulse of Mumbai. Already, a day after the opening, the first floor store is hopping with activity, as Mumbai, always game for anything new and happening, discovers capital looks. As one designer declared: "There is such a huge market here. Share this, harvest this, grow this." A quick chat with the four who are ready to roll, at 7 Best Marg.

Western line with very fresh whites, black and white combos, trousers with embroidery details, skirts with stripes, kurtis, ‘Angel’ T-shirts.
"We specialise in prêt. Designer prêt and ready-to-wear is what people need. They do not want to pay bags and bags of money for clothes. Our fourth store is opening in Delhi and we decided it was time to come to Mumbai, since our clientele had to come to Delhi to shop.
"There is no competition here, since we do completely different lines. Personality-wise, we get along well, since we are all from Delhi and have worked together before. We have had differences of opinion but now we are all starting to think the same way."
