SORAYA

Aisha Rao is a Hyderabad based design house. Aisha, it's founder and creative director, graduated as a lawyer from an Indian National Law School, NUJS but went on to pursue design at IED-Barcelona, Spain.She studied Sewing & Garment Construction at Parsons-New York and started the eponymous label in 2017.Aisha's primary vision lay in creating unique up-cycled luxury occasion wear. Her signature largely relies on the appliqué technique whereby fabric waste comes together in sizeable motifs and bold colours with a laborious overlay of aari, zardozi, and macrame to create an eclectic mix of delicate and maximalist aesthetics. Aisha's lehengas are must-haves for every Indian bride alligned with millennial sensibilities yet yearning for tradition on her big day.
