Sandeep Gonsalves - VISIONARY DRESSMAKER

THE ESSENCE of every Sarah & Sandeep design lies in their meticulously thought-out design process and commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. They believe in creating clothes that are not only stylish but also reflect the trends of the future. The designer duo studies and works with the finest fabrics from around the world, and seamlessly blend modern silhouettes with traditional elements. Their designs push boundaries and set new standards, making them a trusted name in contemporary luxury fashion.

How did the concept of bespoke tailoring come to you when you launched Sarah & Sandeep?

We wanted an age-old concept to be revived in a contemporary format. After travelling and exploring different artists and their craft, we wanted to introduce luxury tailoring mixed with fashion-forward design ideologies. That's always at the very core of every piece we come up with.

Tell us more about starting a couture line.

It is just a more narrative approach to design, with a little more perspective to each piece. We are now shifting our focus towards making it more art driven.

What served as the inspiration for your modern, sharply tailored wedding wear designs for women?
