About
Creativity meets craftsmanship.
Gauri Sharma is a fashion designer and illustrator working across bridal, couture, prêt and menswear. Ten years in — with a three-year specialisation in fashion design, seasons at Lakmé Fashion Week, and her own label and studio — she designs the way she was trained to: sketch first, then fabric, then the embroidery and handwork that make a piece belong to one person.
Freelancing is a deliberate choice rather than a stage. It keeps the work varied, the schedule flexible, and the relationship with the person wearing the clothes direct — no account managers in between.
