Fashion is for everyone.
Inclusivity is the core for design and development, to ensure every body feels confident and good in what they wear.
“My love for fashion began from identifying a known gap in our industry. I struggled throughout my childhood and young adult life of not feeling good in what I wore, because nothing would fit right. Designing was my outlet to create styles that were both size-inclusive as well as height-inclusive, and that led to me pursuing a degree in fashion so I could finally feel good in what I wore.”

These are some of the designs Sakhi created, utilizing WGSN and current Abercrombie & Fitch trends. Her team focused on inclusivity as well as sustainability in creating these designs.

Here she designed for Stella McCartney Spring Summer 2022 , and introduced sustainable fabrics, as well as introducing inclusive, one-size fits all styles.
