In a city known for tradition and restraint, Lata Madhu has carved out a fashion story that is anything but conventional. As the founder of Collage, Chennai’s pioneering multi-designer concept store, and the local partner of Raw Mango in the city, Lata has spent over two decades shaping a more nuanced, thoughtful narrative around Indian luxury, one rooted in craft, curation, and cultural integrity. In this exclusive interview, Lata Madhu talks to Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, about accidental beginnings, Collage, evolving definitions of Indian luxury, and why staying off the beaten track has always been her most powerful choice.
