Divya Aggarwal Founder, and Designer, Label Divya Aggarwal Divya Aggarwal, founder and designer of her eponymous luxury couture label is on a mission to shine the spotlight on India’s rich heritage, culture and craftsmanship through her unique designs. After gaining formal education in fashion design with a minor in design management from the Parsons School of Design in New York, she gained valuable experience with brands like KAZO and BL International. With over five years of experience, she worked towards launching her own label that marries contemporary aesthetics with timeless traditions. Her unique take on Indian fashion, breaking away from common trends and presenting a mix of global fashion influences like distinctive prints, vibrant colours and cutting-edge designs has helped shape her identity in an otherwise crowded space. Aggarwal’s label offers bespoke couture that reflects individuality and creativity. While evoking the very spirit of India with blouses, lehengas, and traditional adornments, she also hinges on western modernity with fusion skirts, corsets, and jackets. What’s her standpoint on luxury? “It means having things or experiences that bring exceptional joy, comfort, and quality into my life. It’s about treating yourself to the best and enjoying life’s little pleasures.” As a creative person, she also believes in taking some time out for any activity that channels that side. “I find that nurturing my creativity is vital for my overall well-being. Engaging in activities like painting, writing, or even brainstorming new ideas allows me to tap into my creative energy and find inspiration, which ultimately contributes to my sense of fulfilment and balance.” “Work-life balance, for me, means harmonizing professional pursuits with personal well-being and fostering a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle.” | 22
