This Week in Luxury: Lamborghini, Louis Vuitton, DeVANS, Rahul Mishra and Maison Sia Make Headlines

This week, the worlds of luxury, design and spirits are making waves across India and beyond. From Lamborghini’s record-breaking Fenomeno hybrid supercar and Louis Vuitton’s debut makeup collection to DeVANS’ Indian single malts winning top international awards, Rahul Mishra’s new Kala Ghoda flagship, and Maison Sia introducing collectible Italian furniture to Delhi, indulgence is in full swing: showcasing innovation, exclusivity, and craftsmanship at every turn. With a flurry of store launches redefining how and where we sip, shop, and socialise, it’s clear the business of luxury is in full pour.

Rahul Mishra Opens Immersive Flagship ‘Living Museum of Couture’ in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda

Rahul Mishra, celebrated couturier and the first Indian designer to present at Paris Haute Couture Week, has unveiled his largest flagship store at Horniman Circle in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda. Spanning 7,500 sq ft and designed in collaboration with architect Rooshad Shroff, Maison Rahul Mishra is envisioned as a ‘living museum of couture’, where fashion, architecture, and craft converge. The immersive space unfolds like chapters in a book- from contemplative galleries showcasing sketches and swatches to sculptural mannequins, embroidered walls, and themed rooms inspired by Mishra’s recurring botanical, entomological, and avian motifs.

With handwoven carpets, marquetry, etched marble, and bespoke lighting, the store extends couture into inhabitable art. The journey culminates in a soaring chamber of suspended metal birds, evoking both grandeur and intimacy. More than a retail destination, the boutique reflects Mishra’s philosophy of mindful luxury and storytelling, positioning the flagship as both a cultural landmark for Kala Ghoda and a sanctuary for India’s artisanal heritage.

Maison Sia Brings Collectible Italian Furniture to India with Edra and Naturedesign

Maison Sia, India’s definitive address for global luxury décor, makes a landmark debut into collectible furniture with the exclusive unveiling of Edra and Naturedesign at its Delhi flagship. Curated by founder Vratika Gupta, the showcase bridges art and utility: juxtaposing Edra’s sculptural, innovation-driven icons like Francesco Binfaré’s whimsical Pack Sofa and Jacopo Foggini’s luminous Cicladi Tables with Naturedesign’s soulful creations in reclaimed wood and noble materials.

Together, they embody Maison Sia’s ethos that true luxury is not mass-produced but consciously chosen, offering Indian collectors rare, heirloom-worthy pieces that merge drama with serenity, innovation with heritage, and design with emotion.

​Louis Vuitton’s makeup debut

Louis Vuitton has unveiled its debut makeup collection, La Beauté Louis Vuitton, created in collaboration with makeup artist Pat McGrath. The line includes 55 lipsticks and 10 lip balms priced at $160 each, and eight eyeshadow palettes at $250, with refills available for $69 and $92 respectively. Launching in China on August 20, followed by a global pre-launch on August 25 and availability in select Louis Vuitton stores worldwide from August 29, the collection features packaging by industrial designer Konstantin Grcic incorporating the maison’s Monogram and Damier motifs, along with small leather goods such as lipstick pouches and wallets. Ingredients include camellia oil in the eyeshadows and upcycled mimosa wax in the balms.

DeVANS’ GianChand Wins International Whisky of the Year 2025

DeVANS Modern Breweries’ new single malts have put India on the global whisky map. GianChand Manshaa clinched International Whisky of the Year 2025 and a Grand Gold at Germany’s ISW, while GianChand Adambaraa won Best Single Malt Indian Whisky and Best Indian Whisky at the IWC in Las Vegas.

Crafted in Jammu’s Himalayan foothills, Manshaa is the brand’s first peated malt, praised for its bold smokiness, while Adambaraa, matured in ex-bourbon casks, was hailed by whisky critic Jim Murray as “a malt lover’s dream.”

Available at Delhi and Hyderabad duty-free and select Gurgaon outlets, both expressions debut in Goa this August.

Lamborghini Unveils Fenomeno: 1,080 CV Limited-Edition Hybrid Supercar

Automobili Lamborghini has revealed the Fenomeno, a one-off limited edition supercar marking 20 years of Lamborghini Centro Stile, with just 29 units planned. Combining the brand’s most powerful naturally aspirated V12 engine (835 CV) with three electric motors (245 CV), it delivers a staggering 1,080 CV, accelerates 0–100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, and tops 350 km/h. Built on a carbon fiber monofuselage with Forged Composite® elements, its aerodynamics include S-Ducts, NACA-inspired side ducts, and an omega-shaped rear wing. The cockpit emphasises a ‘pilot-like’ driving experience with digital displays, minimal controls, and extensive carbon fiber, while Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program allows bespoke personalization. Continuing the marque’s tradition of rare supercars, the Fenomeno embodies exclusivity, performance, and cutting-edge hybrid technology.
