Anamika Khanna

The recipient of the Kingfisher Award for the Fashion Designer, Anamika Khanna started designing without any formal training in the craft. The Damania Fashion Award jump-started her career and bought her into the limelight. Her creative versatility has, since, managed to keep her there.

The other major awards include an induction into the Damania Fashion Hall of Fame, the Exports Council Award and the Texcellence Award for Outstanding Boutique (Female).

Anamika Khanna's work comprises two lines - Pręt and Couture; whereas with color and craft as her forte, trousseau wear is naturally her area of specialisation. Strictly conformist in the non conformist way, her look is global with ethnic Indian craft as her mainstay.

Her pręt line borders in seriously quirky, giving the word ‘trendy' a new definition and her spacious store in Kolkata almost stands out as a landmark and redefines fashion retailing, exuding a sense of whimsical style yet serenity at the same time.

Anamika Khanna also retails through CARMA (New Delhi), OGAAN (New Delhi & Kolkata), ENSEMBLE (Mumbai & New Delhi), ESPEE (Kolkata), FFOLIO (Bangalore & Chennai) and other prominent stores across the country.

She was nominated at the MTV Youth Icon Awards 2003 as the Breakthrough Designer of the Year, at the MTV Lycra Style Awards 2004 as the Designer of the Year and at the F Awards as the Designer of the Year (Women - Pret), 2004.
