One of the most promising menswear designers coming out of India right now is none other than 28-yearold Sahib Bhatia with his label, Amaaré. On the heals of his appearance at Lakme Fashion Week 2020 wherein Jim Sarbh walked the ramp as his showstopper; the upcoming designer caught our attention and we had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about how he got started in the industry, who his creative influences are, and what life has been like since starting his own label three years back. Edited excerpts…
As a next-gen designer carving his niche on the ramp of Lakme Fashion Week. When did you realise that design was your calling?
I always aspired to become a fashion designer. Growing up I had realised my love for fashion and was very clear that this is what I want to do and I always wished to have a brand of my own. I wasn’t able to learn design from any conventional design institute per say, but I always knew knowing basics is a must. So I took it upon me as a challenge to learn things on the job. I learnt sampling and merchandising while working for Rina Dhaka, took training on pattern making and draping at my factory with my master ji, I also completed my part time Diploma in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel Draw.
After all this, now I feel well versed in all the departments only because of my flare towards it. I learnt it all while designing my collection and creating a brand of my own.
