The seasons we worked together were Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week Spring Summer 2009, Autumn Winter 2010-11 and our menswear line for Van Heusen Men’s Fashion Week 2009. Sidharth also accompanied me to an exclusive exposition of our collection at a high end luxury store in Dubai. Sidharth has shown great excitement for learning, an eagerness to achieve and brilliant organisational capacity under severe pressure of time and work load. He has a design sensibility that is fluid and humble but makes a statement. He is amicably involved with every project assigned to him and ensures its timely and utmost completion. Being an alumnus of Central St Martins myself, I recommend Sidharth highly for the course and assure he will be an asset to the process and contribute to the sphere of design in a meticulously productive way.
