Custom Designer Wear and Styling by Shweta Nandakumar
This is my work, unfiltered. A collection of designs that prioritize original style over passing trends.
This is the kind of statement piece I love creating for dandiya nights. I designed this custom black lehenga for Navratri, focusing on intricate mirror work and a bold, open-back blouse that commands attention.
Taking my designs to the runway. This is me in a custom-draped satin saree in shades of teal and grey, featuring a modern, hand-painted design and paired with a daring halter-neck blouse.
For my brother's sangeet, I designed this black velvet blouse with rich zardozi and sequin embroidery. I paired it with a flowing soft silk lehenga to create a look that's both regal and ready to dance.
A modern take on the classic Kerala saree. This look features a custom blouse with puffed sleeves and a tie-up back, adding a personal touch to the timeless elegance of Onam attire.
Simple, elegant, and powerful. I designed this classic black spaghetti-strap gown with a thigh-high slit for a formal event, proving that bespoke doesn't always mean traditional.
This is where the magic begins. A quick look into a client consultation at my studio, where we discuss everything from fabric choices to the final fit, ensuring every outfit is delivered on time and exactly as you envisioned.
It's all in the details. This shows the back of a custom Navratri lehenga, with a full-length criss-cross tie design that is both stunning and secure, perfect for dancing the night away.
About this collection
You won't find a single carbon-copy design here. My process starts with a 30-minute consultation where we pick apart your vision, fabrics, and fit requirements before a single thread is stitched. Whether it is a velvet blouse or a cocktail gown, I ensure the structural integrity matches the aesthetic.
This collection highlights the variety of my design work in Bengaluru. From heavy zardosi embroidery on velvet blouses to structured cocktail gowns, I focus on building outfits that move with you. When you visit my Banashankari studio, we do not just pick a style. We look at your body type, the event, and the vibe you want to project. I handle the sourcing of premium fabrics, ensuring quality from the lining up to the final finish. If you have an idea, we can make it happen. I am hands-on throughout the construction, checking every seam and hem, especially on pieces that require complex structural support like halter necks or structured jackets. You get a direct line to the design process, with realistic timelines and a promise of zero cookie-cutter results.
