This is the first collection of visuals a potential client will see. It’s curated to showcase the best of my skills, from beautifully finished garments to the intricate craftsmanship that goes into each piece, giving a complete picture of what we can create together.
Custom Gowns & Dresses
This collection features final garments created by my students, showcasing a range of styles from elegant evening gowns to contemporary dresses. Each piece is a testament to the skills learned, including pattern making, advanced stitching, and detailed embellishments for a professional finish.
Bespoke Blouses & Traditional Wear
Here, I showcase custom-made blouses and ethnic outfits that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. These pieces often feature my signature hand-painting and intricate Aari embroidery, designed to create a standout look for any occasion.
Intricate Hand Embroidery: Aari & Zardozi
I specialize in traditional Indian hand embroidery like Aari and Zardozi, taught under the guidance of artisans with over 30 years of experience. This section displays the detailed motifs, borders, and patterns we create for bridal wear, blouses, and other custom garments.
Wearable Art: Thanjavur & Fabric Painting
I transform simple fabrics into works of art through painting. This collection highlights my specialty in the traditional Thanjavur style, known for its vibrant colors and embellishments, as well as other fabric painting techniques for creating unique patterns and motifs.
The Design Process: From Sketch to Mannequin
Every custom outfit starts with an idea. This cluster walks you through my design process, from the initial fashion sketch to draping with muslin fabric on a mannequin to perfect the fit and silhouette before we even touch the final fabric.
Fabric Craft: Printing & Dyeing
Beyond sewing, we explore various ways to create custom textiles through block printing, screen printing, and tie-dye. This allows for truly one-of-a-kind fabrics, giving you or my students complete control over the final design of the garment.
Personalized Hoop Embroidery
This collection showcases a modern and sentimental craft: personalized hoop embroidery. These pieces combine painting, thread work, and 3D fabric elements to create unique portraits and decorative art, making them perfect for wedding gifts or home decor.

Take a look inside Soul Fashion Academy, where passion turns into profession. This collection shows the heart of my service: the hands-on process of garment construction and the focused, supportive environment where students learn from experts.
