London
A foundation in design
While studying furniture design and interning at Zaha Hadid Architects, Sanket's curiosity shifted toward fashion and the possibilities of clothing as a living form.
Sanket began in London studying furniture design. An internship at Zaha Hadid Architects introduced him to fashion's ability to unite form, movement and identity. During a six-month return to India, he created a collection selected as India's first entry at Graduate Fashion Week London, earning a scholarship to study fashion at Istituto Marangoni in Milan.
In Milan, experience with Giambattista Valli and Armani sharpened his eye before he returned to India to build something of his own. Consulting for global brands revealed the opportunity for an accessible, responsible fashion label created for a dynamic global citizen.
Bougainvillea grew from that ambition: to marry India's textile heritage with a contemporary international aesthetic, while making thoughtful design part of everyday life.
