Reliance Trends has always stood out for its styles, collection, association and locations and this time, it’s a good news for fashionistas based out of Jaipur. The Pink City is fast emerging and is leaving no stone unturned to be the fashion capital so why would the brands be behind. That’s the reason Reliance Trends is making its way to the Pink City as the brand opens its first concept store at the huge and fashionable Gaurav Tower Central Mall at Malviya Nagar. Any guesses for who inaugurated it? Fashionista and Bollywood star Ileana D’Cruz!!
Never before, the city witnessed such a grand opening of a store that that too a concept store and the visitors were given an altogether never before shopping experience with fashion, glamour and entertainment that had a ready mix of Neeti Mohan and Myeong Chang’s music concert and a high octane fashion show with Ileana attired in Reliance Trends off-white dress from its Fig collection. The store spread across 10,000 square feet area across two floors possesses quite distinct design and aesthetic, unlike a standard department store or retail outlet store.
Ileana as a showstopper was greeted with thunderous applause as she appeared on stage. She said “I feel so good in my new attire and I feel am the fashion queen of the world”. She further added “Thank you Reliance Trends for choosing me to represent the brand and be a part of this monumental store launch. The Spring Summer‘16 collection is beautiful, peppy and colourful. Every garment that I saw got me excited, really like the way the entire collection is put together, that is why you expect from the country’s largest fashion retailer. I am sure the Jaipur fashionistas are super excited at The Reliance Trends arrival”
The Reliance Trend concept store is a rare blend of fashion and technology. The highlights being video walls to selfie areas in the trial room! One can take selfie choosing the wide variety of backdrops. Afterall, Reliance is known for its innovative concepts!
The store itself has a general concept with regard to the merchandise available, the design and decoration of the store often matches that concept. A store that is meant to appeal to “urban” or “street” trends might have bare brick walls, perhaps decorated with artistic graffiti and a design that reinforces the concept of the store. On the other hand, Reliance Trends concept store propagates “hipster” culture – dark walls, stark lighting, and independent music that is popular in hipster circles.
Akhilesh Prasad, CEO Reliance Trends on the occasion said “We are excited to be opening this international and prestigious store in the city of Jaipur. The store has been built with a lot of technological innovations, to enhance consumers shopping experience. We want to take our diverse, accessible, stylish and high quality range of clothing to Jaipur consumers. Our vision is to make fashion accessible and affordable” He further added “Reliance Trends is India’s largest fashion destination with 260 plus stores across 140 cities. It also houses more than 100 apparels and accessories brands along with 18 private label brands across men, women and kids v categories to fulfill every customer.”
