Priyadarshini Rao: Feminine, elegant, wearable



She's young. And her clothes reflect her youth.

Feminine, elegant and wearable, Priyadarshini Rao's designs have an air of earthy accessibility.

She is strongly influenced by the 1970s, as seen in the skirts and blouses with flower motifs.

"I like simplicity of design and don't like to go for too much embroidery and other embellishments. I believe it detracts from the clothes," she says.

She also has a very successful menswear line. She is one of the few women designers who enjoys designing more for men than women.
