In conversation
with Scarlet and Mint to know more about the fashion brand
First of all –
what a cool name!
S: (laughs) I’m
glad you like the name! It took us a while to come up with it, but we both love
it and think it’s really representative of our style.
M: That was
certainly the aim of it, at any rate! And psst... they’re our initials as well!
So how did
Scarlet and Mint come about?
S: I don’t feel like there is a fashion brand that speaks to
me in India! Like most women today, I’m quite busy – and what I was really
looking for was a brand that curated the best stuff out there for me. This is
when I reached out to M...
M: ... Yes, S always comes to me with her fashion woes! J I’ve worked in a number of global fashion brands and have
wanted to start my own brand. At the moment I am based in Shanghai, where I see
a lot of the latest global trends – from the traditional fashion centres of
Europe and US, to Asian fashion influences like Japan and Korea.
That’s
interesting – tell me a bit more about your individual styles.
M: I’d describe my
style as “classic”. I have a big collection of vintage dresses from the 50s and
60s and, of course, I have a massive collection of heels! For me, shoes make or
break an outfit.
S: Generally speaking, I am a bit of an
understated dresser, but I do love to give my outfit a bit of an edge with a
pair of studded heels or something. And of course, M gives me makeovers every
so often, which I love!
M: Oh, and I love
Deepika Padukone’s style! She really nails the “classic with a modern twist”
look!
So is that what
Scarlet and Mint is about? Classic with a modern twist?
M: That’s pretty
spot on! I’d describe our brand as: colourful, sophisticated, glamorous and
sexy.
What can we
expect to see in your launch collection?
M: Our launch
collection has shoes, handbags and jewellery. We’re looking at a lot of warm
tones: reds, fuchsias and some orange. We’ve also got some gorgeous prints in
there. We have tried to keep the heels clean but in bright colours, while the
flats are more playful with studs and crystals.
And how do you
see Scarlet and Mint evolving over the next few years?
S: We’ll certainly
extend our product range, but we want to be more than just another fashion
brand and really engage with our audience. So that would include things like
style tips for different events, getting a makeover and giving like-minded
people a community board to interact with each other in.
Sounds exciting!
