Ritu BeriFashion & Styling (New Delhi, India) 2003
RITU BERI – She occupies the room-at-the-top in the world of Fashion today, but initially, when she decided to take a plunge into it, it was largely dismissed as ‘a plaything for a bunch of the Elite’. In childhood, she had an Army ambience at home, but no major roadblocks were put in her aspiration to be a Fashion designer. Finally, as the protégé of the famed Embroiderer, Francois Lesage, she launched her label, Lavanya, in December 1990.
From then on, it has been a tale of the ‘making of an Icon’, dressing the glitterati, including Prince Charles, Bill Clinton, Nicole Kidman, and nearer home, the likes of Rekha, Hema Malini, and Sushma Swaraj.
She holds a high niche in Fashion’s Hall of Fame…!
