for FableStreet
Nandita Basu, known for two labels - Fightercock and Nandita Basu, has been a part of Indian and Global Fashion Fraternity for over 20 years.
She studied Fashion design at NIFT and then went on to Central Saint Martins, London before returning to India to set up her own design studio.
Her design aesthetic is minimal and edgy at the same time. She likes using traditional art and craft techniques but in a contemporary manner, making her an ideal fit for FableStreet's design aesthetic. Her clothes have a classic appeal yet are quirky. She feels fit, finish and form, as well as attention to detail and construction, are all important elements of designer clothing.
Inspiration




Natural Neutrals, line of monotint wear honouring black and white sketches, the first form of an immense architectural structure or a breathtaking garment design.
“I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.”
Zaha Hadid’s neofuturistic designs inspire her view of the shaping of buildings, taking reference from the dynamic beauty of futurism and cubism. This workwear line isn’t just about dressing up, it’s about dressing up to express yourself and to make you think.
