THEY HAVE draped Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukerjee and Rati Agnihotri withtheir designs; their creations have fascinated the elite of Kuwait, UAE and Indonesia. Having launched their label Surya in 1996 ,designers Anjalee and Arjun Kapoorhave attained good growth and enviable clients in these nine years. Lehenga cholis, cocktail dresses with embellished corsets and skirts, saris with matching small purses and shoes add to their fashion statement.

A graduate in English from Lady Sriram College in Delhi, Anjalee chose fashion designing, as she believes that she “had this instinct since the beginning”.

“My research and development helps me come up with new concepts every time. This helps me add more shades and motif to my designs,” she says.

From sampling to cutting, pattern making and creating a specific look, every thing is done in-house in the couple’s studio-cum-workplace in Noida. Their garments have a variety of vibrant colour and with lot of embellishment with Swarovski crystals and hints of acrylic.

The Kapoors retail their collection with the stores Gimmicks and Kimaya in Mumbai and Delhi, Designer Lounge in Dubai and Sanskrit in Hong Kong. Anjalee says, “It really fills us with pride to see our garment lined up with the collections of Ritu Kumar and Manish Malhotra in these outlets.”

Having conducted several fashion shows in different parts of the world, Surya is now looking forward to the upcoming Spring-Summer season and is expected to come up with “something very unique and different” this season for its clients.
