I emailed them once before, and it took over a week to get a response. I emailed them recently, and it's been over 2 weeks, no reply. Last time when I contacted them in December, they were taking orders for April. So I guess they need at least 4-5 months of lead time. Their wedding outfits are approximately 160,000 rupees, $3,000+, and I could not tell you if it's worth shelling out that kind of money on an outfit. Best would be to go to the studio and find out for oneself I guess. Hope this answers some of your questions.
i ahve been to their studio and i was NOT impressed! the clothes they have on the rack were nothing to write home about..........yeah if u wana get something doen frm their catalog, thts different........personally i dont like his designs. they r very repititive.........i mean if u compare his outfits from his recent virasant collection to anything frm last year or year b4, they wud be soo much similar, the kaam......the colors (he loves maroons n reds.....alot!)......i feel that hes the best marketing guru out there..........n hes making money jus off of that.........
I had my bridal designed from him ...2 years back...he is really co-operative and supportive...but the thing is very busy person and u have book order with him way way in advance months in advance....atleast 4-6 months. But one thing is he is really good at desiging dress of ur choice and preference. He just does not impose his ideas on you he asks for ur opinion and go accordingly ofcourse with his xpertise. I say 2 weeks notice is very short for him and he wunt be able to make anything for you in such a short notice and i dun;t think anything on the rack may be appeal to you either but u can for sure check it out.
Price wise yes he is very xpensive like 1,25,000 +&+++................. i like his outfits esepcially bridals ....coz they carry style, elegance and sophistications. They are not traditional heavy dresses which are even heavy for brides to carry. Anywys everyone has their own taste ...i say for bridal dress yes he is sure to consult as its The Only Special Day in girl's life and for other formal dresses i wud say it wud be xpensive to buy from him but for THAT ONE DRESS ...HSY IS THE NAME.
I love to share the pics...but some how i;m unable to up load the pics ...if u can provide me ur alternate e.mail address i can fwd u pics.
Let me know...waisy u can check out small pic of my wedding dress in my profile coz thats the only place some how i was able to load pic but not here in the post. Its blood red fitted Farshee Lehnga...
