Too much fashion now let’s talk style
Westside takes Delhi by storm
August 27, 2002 

Westside, the lifestyle store, by the Tatas is now open at TDI Westside Mall (ex-Alankar), Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi. Sprawled across two floors, Westside, with its great expanse of sheer magnificence, evokes an understated splendour of a pioneering international shopping experience in India. Westside houses a collection of the finest merchandise for the entire family.

Briefing the press on an extensive roll-out chain of retail lifestyle stores launch plan in the country, initiated in 1998, managing director Noel Tata, Trent (Westside) says, "The completion and launch of the Westside lifestyle store at the TDI Westside Mall, Delhi epitomises the qualities that have made Westside famous — quality, style and affordability".

Matching the pristine visuals of the lifestyle store is an unprecedented Westside Autumn Winter 2002 collection. A combination of breathtaking merchandise, a variety of exquisite gift items and an exclusive household range of articles. Of special interest are the designer labels available at Westside; they lend that extraordinary appeal to buying designer wear at affordable prices.

Westside has a team of dedicated stylists, merchandisers, faithful and courteous store staff and committed in-house designers. The combination of the very latest in-style fashion with affordability is highlighted in all of Westside’s merchandise. Accessories at the lifestyle store now include watches, sunglasses and exclusive sarees.

The lifestyle store has spacious shopping areas for various sections; the men’s, children's and the household sections occupy the top floor. The women’s section and Café West, an ideal place for that brewing cuppa coffee are on the ground floor area and offer customers the very best and latest of an international shopping experience.

Westside’s new lifestyle store at the Westside Mall is an indication of the company’s intention to maintain its position at the forefront of retailing in India.

Westside has ushered in the concept of brand retail outlets in India, creating a sophisticated infrastructure with in-house designers producing the exclusive Westside range.
