Gunjan Aras is a versatile figure in the fashion world, known for a style that spans from glamorous pageant-inspired looks modern fusion wear

Gunjan had just closed her shop. She looked at the torn fabric—a crushed velvet gown of deep emerald—and smiled. “Give me ninety minutes.”

Her small Bandra gallery could barely hold the growing demand. So, in 2021, she moved. Not to a mall. Not to a high street. She bought an abandoned 19th-century Portuguese villa in Alibaug, converted it into a sanctuary of style. There were no display racks. No price tags. Just floor-to-ceiling mirrors, the scent of sandalwood, and garments draped like sleeping giants on antique mannequins.
