If you ever watch the opening scene of Kumar brothers’ cult Hindi movie Chalti ka Naam Gaadi, standing high behind the lead character of a racing car is a statue of King Edward VII on a black horse. Behind the horse, you see the Army & Navy Building, but minus the Westside board you see at the junction today. It is this very statue seen at its original location that lends the name Kala Ghoda to the iconic heritage precinct of South Mumbai.
Now Mumbai’s couture destination, the latest openings at Kala Ghoda are London-based multi-designer platform Aashni + Co; Moonray by Karishma (creative director of the atelier Chanakya International and the Chanakya School of Craft) and Avantika Swali, and Shruti Sancheti.
