Their work reflects an unparalleled harmony between traditional aesthetics and European-tailored silhouettes, a balance that has defined their signature style for decades. Known as the “boys of couture,” they have consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion while remaining deeply rooted in India’s artisanal legacy.
The Flared Sherwani: A Modern Masterpiece
The Flared Sherwani collection is a striking example of the duo’s philosophy of blending heritage with modernity.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship
What distinguishes Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla is their ability to use embellishments not as ornamentation alone but as expressions of heritage artistry. Their embroideries tell stories of tradition, while the cut and structure ensure that the garment belongs equally to the modern era. The Flared Sherwani embodies this vision, making it a garment of grandeur and refinement.
Honoured Through Philately
