Mikio Sakabe graduated from ESMOD Paris in 2002, and continued her fashion education in Hogeschool Antwerpen, Fashion Department, Antwerp, Belgium, to 2006.— Puti Karina Puar • July 4th, 2008

It isn’t Always About Sari
Indian fashion talk isn’t always have to be about sari and other colorful outfits those remind us of quaint Bollywood movies with the stars dancing under the trees.
