That's what we witnessed during our recent trip to Evolv, Pune's newest multi-designer store.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="/imagedata/2011/dec/sdand-1.jpg" border="5" align="" alt="" /><br /></div><div>Psychedelic slippers by Melissa (Rs 1,650)</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="color: red; ">An artist's colour palette</span></b></div><div>At Evolv, the clothes are not displayed according to the designer but as per the colours. The current collections available are in the hues of grey, black, red, blue, green, psychedelic pink and more. There are issues though if you want to locate a designer outfit afterwards.u00a0</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="/imagedata/2011/dec/dress.jpg" border="5" align="" alt="" /><br /></div><div><i><span style="color: red; font-size: 8pt; ">Psychedelic slippers by Melissa (Rs 1,650)</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="color: red; ">Designer's Inc</span></b></div><div>The shop has 15 Indian designers on board including biggies such as Rajesh Pratap Singh, Abraham Thakore, Rohit Bal and Manish Arora among others. Watch out for shoe and handbag labels including Melissa and Play Clan. We couldn't take our eyes off the Double Decker Bus motifs designed by Uja Arya. The hand-block printed and hand-embroidered garment in grey with the cute red motifs took us back to the city of dreams -- Mumbai.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="/imagedata/2011/dec/sand.jpg" border="5" align="" alt="" /><br /></div><div><div><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: red; ">Beige high heels with a heart-shaped embellishmentu00a0</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: red; ">(Rs 6,500).u00a0</span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: red; ">Pics/ Akshata Shettyu00a0</span></i></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The store also houses city guide books for tourists who are keen to visit cities such as Delhi and Mumbai.u00a0Written by an Australian author, the books have been neatly put in a cloth bag to give it an ethnic feel. But we are still wondering why they don't have a guidebook on the city as well. Doesn't the city have any tourist spots?u00a0There are some cool headphones too, though we couldn't try them out. But from what we saw, they definitely looked chic.</div><div><img src="/imagedata/2011/dec/kush.jpg" border="5" align="" alt="" /><br /></div><div><i><span style="color: red; font-size: 8pt; ">Kathakali Bellow bag by Play Clan (Rs 1,395)</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="color: red; ">Art factory</span></b></div><div>It was good to see a lot of art included in the store, in terms of products as well as store design. The store is divided by a wall, which has colourful pencils created on one side and buttons on the other. The rest of the store is in white. A good way to not let people get distracted and give their full attention to what's on display. Also, white makes the store look bright and comfortable. While retail may be therapy for some, for others it's a long-lasting affair. So, to sum up, we agree with Atul Shyamsundar, director, EVOLV, when he says, "If you read Evolv backwards, it reads V love".u00a0</div><div><br /></div><div><i><b><span style="color: red; ">At</span></b> Evolv, Phoenix Market City, Nagar Road.</i></div></div>
