Leading Indian Celebrity Fashion Designer Partners With ANOKHI MEDIA And L’Oréal Paris For North American Premiere
“We are thrilled to partner for the first time with ANOKHI MEDIA on this exclusive event and celebrate the success of South Asians in Canada. Our team of beauty experts are ready to take on the challenge of creating never before seen beauty looks for this 12th anniversary fashion show for celebrity Bollywood fashion designer Archana Kochhar.”
—Hugo Thibault, Communications and Digital Director of L’Oréal Paris Canada.
Celebrity fashion designer Archana Kochhar began her career in fashion 15 years ago with a single store specializing in bridal wear. Today, she has grown into a name in her own right with a flagship store in Mumbai that not only caters to her bridal clientele but also includes a range of stylish cocktail wear, prêt resort wear and menswear.
In regards to her runway showcase at #ANOKHI12, the designer says, “I am extremely thrilled to showcase my collection at the ANOKHI Event in Toronto on March 28, 2015. The collection that I will be showcasing is an exclusive range of evening wear.”
During the span of a decade and a half, Archana has created a niche for herself in bridal wear, revolutionizing the scene with her distinct eclecticism that has helped her become a sought-after name in the bridal industry.
Not only has Archana been showcased at Bangalore and Lakme fashion weeks, but she has also had the pleasure of being invited by Galeries Lafayette Paris to showcase her collections alongside international iconic houses such as Versace, Armani and Christian Lacroix.
Her portfolio of celebrity clientele includes Shraddha Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Kangana Ranaut, Bipasha Basu, Karishma Kapoor, Chitrangada Singh, Urmila Matondkar, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Prabhu Deva, Vijender Singh, Soha Ali Khan and Amrita Rao — just to name a few.
“It is always a pleasure to wear an Archana Kochhar ensemble as it always complements my femininity in every sense of the way. I think a saree-gown is an amazing introduction of our traditional saree to the west and not only is it stunning but it drapes sensuously over every feminine curve, the outcome being bewitching.”
—Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly
The ANOKHI MEDIA family is truly excited to have Archana showcase in North America for the first time through our platform. She has an international appeal — much like ourselves — with her global design sensibility.
Get ready to witness a perfect blend of magnificent embroidery and new texturizing techniques derived from traditional roots.
