For Spring/Summer 2018, Sachin & Babi journeyed to Istanbul's Grand Bazaar -- 'a crossroads of history, cultures and modern trade,' in their words.

They were inspired by the Middle Eastern market's captivating energy as well as French fashion muse, Loulou de la Falaise's, eclectic bohemian spirit.

The pieces, they said, 'combine classic evening wear elements such as tulle, silks and sequins with unexpected colors and graphic Ottoman textiles.'

Determined to maintain cultural integrity, Sachin & Babi sourced original fabrics from Turkish artisans and enlisted a local manufacturer to create this season's shoes.

Their goal: 'To indulge your senses with vibrant tapestries, rich textures and bold spices.'

According to Vogue, Sachin & Babi's biggest success in this collection was the use of sequins.
'In today's image-heavy world, nothing stands out like a woman with a full body of glittering paillettes.'

Oh, and Brooke Shields? She approved :)
But like us, Vogue had one request for the next season: 'Swap the waifish models with some who can carry off the brand's luxe and lively creations with the aplomb of Brooke Shields.'
