DESIGNER PROFILE [AMALRAJ SENGUPTA]

He presumes fashion to be a form of art so expressive as to be able to exhibit one’s thoughts and bring them to reality.

His design vocabulary is unique and inspiring. His garment highlights being remarkable patterns, structures and astonishing interplay of fabrics and colours with impeccable finish.

He gets inspired with anything, starting from nature, people, culture, to movies.

He believes it’s very important to have a signature style for a designer as people should know you by your work and not your face. As the industry is growing so fast and new designers are coming in, it’s important so that you and your work do not get lost in the crowd of the existing and new upcoming designers.
