Kangana Trehan's flagship store in Regency One, Chhattarpur
Kangana Trehan’s flagship store at Regency One, Chhattarpur, was recently abuzz with an unforgettable evening dedicated to the Women of Light. The event’s theme, Women of Light, paid homage to the extraordinary women who inspired the brand.
The changing room with its frescoed walls
Kangana Trehan’s inaugural store is an ode to her design philosophy. Its minimalist yet graceful interiors are punctuated with sleek garments in sumptuous materials, and thoughtfully curated spaces. Highlights include the signature changing rooms (with its frescoed walls), that offer an intimate, fun experience.
Chic, minimalist spaces abound
The evening evolved with a perfect harmony of glamour and meaning as guests explored the latest collection – a pleasant blend of traditional craftsmanship and bold, contemporary design – over cocktails and grazing platters. “I make the kind of clothes I personally would like to wear,” says Kangana, who started her atelier at home, before moving production to a factory in Delhi. “I love black and red, and these are the colours you see here today.”
Cocktailwear in luscious fabrics
Sophisticated, and perfect for cocktails or a night out on the town, there are black, gold, and crimson gowns, dresses, saris, pants, jackets, and shirts, some most with embellishments, such as sequins and embroidery.

“This store is more than a space; it’s a celebration of everyone who finds beauty in their authenticity,” says Kangana, “The theme, Women of Light, is deeply personal to me, it mirrors my journey and the heart of the women who inspire our creations.”
Dresses for women who love to celebrate life
Lifestyle Insider is a kind of junction point, connecting people with diverse interests that touch on the more luxurious aspects of lifestyle – fashion, design, travel, food and spirits, art, watches and jewellery, cars, yachts, and aviation, and technology. People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.
Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.
It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.
