Fashion Design BA (Hons)
I am Divya Nakrani, a fashion design graduate from London, now based in the USA, originally from Gujarat, India. Sustainability is deeply ingrained in my upbringing, rooted in my family's agricultural legacy, inspiring eco-friendly practices in my work. From crafting art using coffee and tea to embracing biodegradable and natural DIY techniques, sustainability guides every aspect of my creative process. My passion lies in preserving traditional craftsmanship, particularly in embroidery and weaving organic fibers, reflecting my commitment to sustainability and honoring my community's cultural heritage. I empower village artisans by providing production opportunities for my label and collaborate with brands prioritizing biodegradable manufacturing. Together, we redefine fashion by creating aesthetically pleasing, environmentally conscious pieces, merging tradition with innovation. Join me on this journey to make a positive impact on the fashion industry, one sustainable garment at a time.
