That it has entered the mainstream rungs of fashion, appearing on catwalks the world over just paved the way for desi<\/em> fashion designers to make their mark in the world of haute couture. Today, many Indians are responsible for the embroidery, embellishments, and fabrics you see by prestigious fashion houses like Versace, Herm\u00e8s, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Prada, Dior, etc. Many Indian designers and influencers, including Anita Dongre, Suket Dhir, Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia, Bibhu Mohapatra, Tarun Tahiliani, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, and Ritu Kumar, have carved a niche for themselves, in a very dynamic and cut-throat industry of haute couture.<\/p>\n

From wearable everyday pieces to luxe bridal couture, these Indians have made their mark on the fashion industry, representing India in a unique way. While some stick to traditional styles like sarees, lehengas<\/em>, tunics, and churidars<\/em>, others embrace updated aesthetics like tie-dye sweats, floral button-downs, and puff sleeves.<\/p>\n

Naeem Khan, fashion designer<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Born in a middle-class family in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, fashion designer Naeem Khan hardly needs an introduction. His father and grandfather cultivated an early interest in textiles, as they both designed intricate clothes worn by royal families. Of his early passion for design, Khan has said, \u201cIt was built into my DNA. I watched my father design formal wear for India\u2019s most influential people, and I knew that I would want to pursue a similar path.\u201d<\/p>\n
