This was the show I had come to see. A STAR IS BORN– not the movie, the fashion label. All 10 catwalk minutes were sheer excitement, colour and-in-your face sequins and sparkles. Incredible eveningwear to make everyone present stand still in awe.
The creators of this exclusive brand Sheetal and Suchi were both born in India, home to lavish and opulent design, surrounded by the beauty of their nation’s culture, architecture, history and elegance.
They were raised in Mumbai, which cultivated their vast knowledge of textiles and embroidery, under the watchful eye of their mother and mentor, who was well known in India for embellishing intricate work on silk fabrics for Oscar De La Rentaand many other prestigious brands.
As children, Sheetal and Suchi were mesmerised by the handwork, colour and cutting produced in their workshops. They always knew they wanted to be part of this intensely visual medium.
Suchi moved to the UK, where she absorbed the modern ethos of “design restraint” plus the closely guarded secrets of draping, cutting and embellishing fabric to create clean, elegant and timeless silhouettes for women who understand fashion and get what they want.
Between the equally opulent but aesthetically opposite worlds of India and the UK, their style was born.
