So, I was digging around for some fashion inspiration the other day, and I stumbled upon these two designers, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. I’d heard the names before, but I never really checked out their stuff. Boy, was I missing out! These guys are like the kings of Indian couture, with over 30 years in the business. They are quite a big deal!
I started by browsing their official website. The first thing that hit me was the sheer elegance and opulence of their designs. I mean, we’re talking intricate embroidery, luxurious fabrics, and silhouettes that just scream royalty. I was instantly hooked. Their designs are so detailed, so beautiful.
Next, I went down the rabbit hole of Instagram. I followed their official account and some fan pages, too. I spent hours scrolling through photos of their runway shows and celebrity clients. They’ve dressed pretty much every Bollywood star you can think of. I saw some photos of this one event where they had something like 90 models and over 130 outfits. Can you imagine?
- I watched some videos of their interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff.
- It was cool to see how they come up with their ideas and how much work goes into each piece.
- They talked about using traditional techniques like chikankari and giving them a modern twist.
Then I got curious about how people actually wear these outfits. They’re so grand, you know? I found some pictures of a recent wedding where the bride, Radhika Merchant, wore a hand-painted lehenga by them. It was stunning! I was amazed, it’s like a dream to have.
After that, I started looking for similar styles that I could maybe incorporate into my own wardrobe. Of course, I can’t afford a real Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla piece, but I found some pretty good dupes online. I also looked for inspiration on how to style these kind of outfits.
My Takeaways
I ended up adding a few embroidered kurtas and a nice sari with a scalloped border to my shopping cart. I realized that you don’t need to go full-on traditional to rock these looks. You can mix and match them with more contemporary pieces to create your own unique style. What an inspiration, I can’t wait to try out some new looks. It’s crazy how these two have stayed at the top of their game for so long. I am very impressed.
It’s really inspiring to see how they’ve managed to stay relevant and keep pushing the boundaries of Indian fashion. I’m definitely a fan now, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! I think I’ll keep following them for more fashion ideas. Maybe one day I’ll even get to wear one of their original creations. Who knows? Maybe…
