Her signature style is whacky and has bold, experimental and vibrant colours. Sabah Khan, the designer who showcased her collection Tuk Tuk at the Lakme Fashion, believes her collection should reach the masses and not just the glitzy celebs. Her last collection titled No Class was inspired by the lifestyles of people dwelling in Dharavi, Mumbai, whereas her latest one was inspired by the lives of rickshaw wallas.

“I feel rickshaw wallas are the most humble people and are always ready, at your service. When I came to India, I felt that this is one service which you will not get in any part of the world, and that inspired me to dedicate my collection to them,” says Khan.

The 21-year-old feels that fashion designers are not just meant for creating labels for the entertainment world. “I always wanted to do something for the upliftment of the people living in Dharavi. They live happily in spite of the hardships they face in their day-to-day lives. My last collection salutes the spirit of people who live there,” she reveals.

An Inter National Institute of Fashion Designing (INIFD) student, Khan has a keen eye for hues. “I grew up with fabrics as my mother is a fashion designer too. Sabyasachi Mukherji and Manish Malhotra are two designers I look up to,” she says.

After showcasing her line at LFW, Khan feels there is lot of effort which goes into designing a label. “From the weavers to the graphic designers to dyers and tailors, everyone plays a crucial role in designing a collection. I feel fashion weeks are a great platform and I was lucky to showcase mine at a young age,” she affirms. When asked to name one person she would love to design for, she quips, “Kangna Ranaut! I feel she represents the true Indian woman.

Though she hails from a small town, the way she carries herself is extraordinary. Her looks are dominant and her style is very youthful, energetic and bubbly!”
