Womenswear Designer - Haute couture & RTW
About

Deeply influenced by art & culture with a history of working in the Apparel & Fashion industry for 2. 5+yrs. I started my career by working with India's Best Couturier Mr. Sabyasachi for 1.5+ years post which I worked as a consulting designer for ICH Creative Consulting and moved on to study my masters in Haute Couture collaborating with Valentino, Museo Balenciaga, Luigi Verga Stamperia Tessitura & Gentili Mosconi. Given my multicultural exposure and deep sense of passion for R&D through my industry experience I constantly seek to develop new textile surface manipulations and develop my designs using Creative Pattern Making and Advanced Draping. My recent experience at Attire The Studio as a Material Sourcing specialist & Product Developer was unique to Textiles, Product & Development process wherein there was deep integration across multiple teams to build an all-around sustainable collection. Feel free to reach out to collaborate and work together!
