Rohit Khosla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rohit Khosla, (November 29, 1958 -1994), was a pioneer of Indian fashion [1] . He started his own label in 1987, along with his sister, designer, Rohini Khosla.
He did his schooling from The Doon School, Dehradun [2] and came into the Indian fashion scene when it was still a nascent industry [3] and left his mark on Indian Fashion [4], during his short years, as he died in 1994.
In 1987, he co-founded Ensemble, India's popular designer label store in New Delhi [5] , with Tarun and Sal Tahiliani, which started with five labels: Tarun Tahiliani, Rohit Khosla, Neil Bieff, Amaya, Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla [4], Sonam Dobal [6] and JJ Valaya [7].
In 1998, Rohini Khosla published a book on his life and work, titled, “Rohit Khosla, Vanguard by Rohini Khosla” and in the 2007 India Fashion Week paid a tribute to him, with designers like, Rohit Bal dedicating his collection to him [8] [9]. The annual 'India Zee F Awards', presents the Rohit Khosla Award for 'Debutante Designer of the Year' [10].
