Of course, yesterday was celebrated across the land as the anniversary of the nation's Independence. But, for a few, the day also marked the anniversary of another fortuitous date: when Abu Jani met Sandeep Khosla by chance at an Independence Day Brunch exactly thirty-five years ago.
Both young men were recent entrants to the nascent fashion industry, from considerably different ends: Khosla, the Doon school educated son of a well-heeled clan from Punjab and Jani, the wildly creative aesthete son of a creative suburban Muslim clan. That this chance meeting resulted in so much artistry, harmony and beauty, not to forget one of the country's most successful design labels, is as much to do with the perfect matching of the two, as of luck.
Which is why as the two celebrated designers ('Boys' as they are still referred to by some) clocked in the thirty-fifth anniversary of their wildly successful partnership, many took to social media with congratulations. Oh one more thing: Dame Judi Dench would have had nothing to wear to receive her numerous awards at marque presentations.
