The person and the label
Who is behind Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla?
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla design as a duo from Mumbai. Their site describes two years of research in the early 1990s to bring chikankari to fabrics such as chiffon and crepe de chine; the work is still hand-embroidered in Lucknow by women artisans, alongside zardozi in gold and silver thread. Their costumes for the film Devdas won India’s National Film Award for Best Costume Design. Sotheby’s marked their 25th year with the exhibition “India Fantastique” in London in September 2012. In 2026 the house celebrated four decades: in August it opened Mubarak Baug, a 20,000 sq ft flagship in the Framjee Cawasjee Institute in south Mumbai with a museum of archive pieces, and in September it held its 40th-anniversary celebration there and launched Iconic Jewels, its first jewellery collection.
