WHEN ONE THINKS OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY, IT invariably tends to be associated with designers and their beautiful cuts and creations for women. Surbhi Pansari, however, decided to tread the not-so-frequently travelled road of exclusive menswear. Characterised by her individual style, classic craftsmanship and fit, use of ultra-luxe fabrics and vibrant colours and blending of ethnic colours, cuts and silhouettes with Western influences, Pansari’s designs are classy, contemporary and indeed pretty cool.

The first stitch 

Pansari’s childhood was characterised by happy times, full of fun, laughter and creativity. While she attributes her creative genes to her father, she can’t thank her mother enough for instilling in her the traditions and culture of the Pansari clan, which hails from Fathepur, Rajasthan. Recalling the first stirrings of creativity in her at the Maharani Gayatri Devi, Jaipur (MGD, Jaipur) boarding school, where she studied, she notes, “My school gave me wonderful opportunities to imbibe and nurture this seed of creativity.” And, well, that was just the beginning!
