#NewInTown: Shoppers, Here Are Our Top 9 Picks From The Galleries At 32nd

Started as an online-only unisex streetwear label, Almost Gods has been adorned by the likes of Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, and Rajakumari. At the store, you'll be greeted with a huge art installation of an eagle, which isn’t quite like anything we've seen before. The brand seeks to represent India on the global stage with prints and designs inspired by Indian culture and history. With their pieces, they focus on a "generation placed in the midst of a massive transition that has erased accepted meanings of what it is to be human and is in the process of forming new definitions". The resurrected line gives life to dead stock (high-quality fabric that would otherwise be wasted) in order to prevent wastage.

The brainchild of Kunaal Kyhaan Seoleka, who is an architect, interior designer, artist, actor, and model, Koy Toy is genuinely different in its design sensibilities. The distinct tone is also noticeable in their store, which makes total sense because once you walk in, you'll want to know where to get that chair or rug. Their designs are inspired by travels around the world but are still rooted in Indian crafts. The whole space inspires you to experiment with your sense of style, which in our eyes is commendable. It's all luxurious, of course, so you pay the high-end price for it too.

Founded in 2020, Yam is a millennial-run brand that takes pride in the beautiful collection of prints they offer, all of which is made in India. They create fresh and modern artworks from traditional techniques of embroidery, weaving, sketching, and even painting with textiles sourced from across India; silks from Banaras, cotton and canvas from South India. You'll find a collection of co-ords, shirts, tops, dresses but what we loved was their ethnic collection with gorgeous lehengas (we even found one with pockets), saris, and kurta sets.
