BESPOKE MENSWEAR BY SS HOMME
BY: Sarah Sheikh, 24, and Sandeep Gonsalves, 26
WHAT THEY DO: SS Homme customises shirts, tuxedos, waistcoats, bow ties and ties, sherwanis and Nehru jackets. Sarah, a graduate from London School of Fashion, has a fashion ethic that is subtle, focusing on clean detailing, fit, fabric and finishing. “I don’t do bling, embroidery or stonework for Indian wear,” she says. “My look is classic, with subtle details such as piping, pocket and collar styles, velvet borders or pleating techniques.”
HOW IT WORKS: After booking an appointment with the duo, you drop in at their Khar studio to check out their sample rack. Pick a fabric using fabric books sourced from brands like Scabal, Loro Piana and J. Hampstead, and be measured from head to toe. Sarah will advise on the silhouette and start detailing the garment based on your personality, body frame and the occasion. An artwork is created on Photoshop, using a scanned version of the chosen fabric to help you visualise the outfit. It takes around 10 working days for the garment to be ready, and includes two trial fittings.
