Born and
raised in a defense environment enriched Monty’s mind as it
helped him experience the rich cultural kaleidoscope that is India.
Experiencing a myriad of cultures and the beauty and aura entrenched
in each culture enlightened Monty’s mind to the beauty that
enveloped his senses and gave impetus to his need to seek beauty
in all his endeavors.
Giving up a nine to five job Monty found his creative
release in the world of Design. After a brief introductory course
in design Monty gained valuable expertise and experience working
for the “Wendell Roderick studio”. Monty started his
label “monty sally” on April 11 2003 with a show at
the Cidade de Goa Lawns with none other than Aditi Govitrikar gracing
the ramp in the designer’s garments. Since then there has
been no looking back models Nina Manuel, Fleur Xavier, Dipti, Anchal
and many more have walked the walk in “monty sally”
garments.
Monty Sally has done shows for Very, GCC (Goa chamber
of commerce), Cygnus jewellery, Crosscraft ltd. La Affaire Extraordinaire,
Global steel conference, Inox IFFI party, launch of brand Rx; sports
club of Goa and many other high profile patrons. The designer has
incorporated the holistic value of gems, the temperance of steel,
the dynamism of the oceans, the exuberance of light, the saga of
love and war and other stimulating, surreal states of being in his
garments. Termed as Goa’s Avant Garde designer, the designer’s
garments see the use of metal, shell, plastic, acrylic, glass etc.
in a mottled melee of possibilities.
Monty prides himself on creating designs that are cerebrally captivating,
visually vivid and exact in their execution. It is with humility
that Monty don’s the title designer knowing he can never be
the creator.
