Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla met in August 1986. They formed an instant rapport and decided to combine their creative energies. Their original joint company, Abu Jani – Sandeep Khosla was formed in 1992. Best known for their ability to infuse Indian craftsmanship and textile heritage with a European tailored silhouette. Their signature is to combine traditional aesthetics with modern design.
The Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla label is internationally feted for its cutting edge quality and classically elegant style. Each ensemble is a delicate mélange. The richness of India’s heritage suffused with divine design makes every AJSK garment a modern masterpiece. The last three decades have seen them establish an enviable reputation as pioneers in resurrecting the best of the past and fashioning it for the future.
The label stands for excellence. The finest fabrics combine with the most exquisite embroideries and intricate embellishments to create unparalleled quality and aesthetic appeal. The emphasis is on timeless style rather than transient trends. It is this concentration on uncompromising quality and eternal elegance that result in clients wearing outfits purchased a decade ago to important events today. An AJSK ensemble is considered a wise investment, due to its repeat value.
In the words of a devoted client: “Yes, they are expensive! But like art or jewels, they are an investment. An Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla outfit will be as stylish and look as brand new ten years from now as it does today.”
