Testimonials
“Gita doesn’t just design, she feels a place. When she reimagined the boutique at Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, she immersed herself in the life of the hotel and the culture of the city, living there for six weeks, absorbing the energy, pulse, and observing the guests. What emerged was a space that felt alive, vibrant, sensual, and deeply connected to the Faena spirit. Inviting her to be Vice Chair of Faena Art Miami was a natural evolution of a creative relationship built on trust, curiosity, and a shared belief in culture as that must be lived.”

“Recollecting memories of Gita Shamdasani, working with me at Browns, first of all as a buyer travelling with me and helping with the selecting of designers that we met and found and brought into Browns. Many years passed and we’ve met up again and recalling all the one before times that we have together with Robert Forest and François Tessier and travelling to America where we discovered Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Stephen Sprouse. She’s a treasure and still is a treasure whatever she does she does it with respect”

“Gita supported us at Soneva with our retail. Gita’s first assignment was a trial where she was given the gift shop at Soneva Jani. Within a year of Gita’s arrival, the sales had doubled.
Gita built a portfolio of luxury, sustainable collections and introduced brand partnerships aligned with Soneva’s commitment to sustainability, elevating Soneva to be among the first resorts to offer guests the very best in sustainable design.
It’s very clear that Gita loves retail. She is constantly visiting shops on the weekend as this is her love and passion. She is up to date on the latest trends, fashions etc.
Gita also has a fantastic relationship with really interesting designers. The quality of Soneva’s retail improved considerably as a result of Gita’s intervention.”
