Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011 • Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2011

Puja Arya

The young promising designer, Puja Arya has studied fashion design at NIFT (New Delhi) for 2 years and was then awarded scholarship by Nottingham Trent University (Nottingham, UK) and The Charles Wallace Trust Fund (British Council, India) to complete course as a degree at Nottingham Trent University.

The label 'Puja Arya' launched in June 2000, focuses on hand block printed garments embellished with hand embroidery and the inspiration has been the idea to breathe fresh air into a dying traditional craft; to create an international silhouette by experimenting with traditional techniques of printing, dyeing, embroidery etc.

The collections are retailed at Ogaan (New Delhi), Amethyst (Chennai), Folio (Bangalore) and Marichika (Hyderabad).

Puja Arya really stands out and her charming minidresses are bound to make even the dungaree-wearer feel feminine and as per Puja, mixing fabrics and style is the mantra to look good and more importantly, look different.

She advises to add laces, frills or sequins to the traditional salwar-kameez to give it a more funky and modern touch. The final collection at NTU was selected for showing at the 'Graduate Fashion Week' in London along with the best design collections from all over UK.
