Veteran designers Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna have carved a niche for themselves in modern Indian designer-wear. The dynamic journey began from their home garage in 1997. Two and a half decades later, they have made a mark in contemporary pret-wear with their forward-thinking and engineered designing. What sets them apart is their innovative approach to design and commitment to experimentation. Bollywood celebrities love their designs. Think Ranveer Singh dressed up in custom-made Rohit Gandhi + Rahul
Khanna for his wedding reception or Malaika Arora turning showstopper for their latest collection Fibonacci. From Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Deepika Padukone and many others, their designs have been in the spotlight time and again.

We had the vision of wanting to bring the contemporary side to India and starting a ready to wear line, something that was not present before.
