Puja Nayyar studied fashion at the National Institute
of Fashion Technology, New Delhi. Puja had her debut
showing in the fall of 1997 and since has shown her
collection in Khazana, Taj Mahal hotel, NASSCOM Conference
at Oberoi Hotel (Mumbai). She has also created conceptual
ensembles for the 'ARJO WIGGINS' paper show at the
India Habitat Centre. In Nov.'99 Puja's collection
was shown at Sao Paulo, Brazil for the 'India Fashion
Show' amongst many more showings.
Puja's forte lies in the creation of a clean and minimal
image. A perfectionist for details and finish, she
pays scrupulous attention to her handcrafted ensembles
and she develops exclusive fabrics by the use of specially
treated yarns and painstakingly intricate textures
by varied surface treatments.
Puja believes that clothing for today's women needs
to be fashionable, individualistic, intelligent, stylish
must have an attitude and value for money. Her ensembles
are textured, beautifully embroidered in innovative
embroidery techniques or simply minimalist both in
woven and knits. In addition, she creates scarves,
stoles, bags, caps, lifestyle products like made-ups
and screens. Her foray into menswear has been the
emergence of specially created fabrics for jackets,
shirts and textured ties.
Puja sells from prestigious fashion stores in New
Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore and works out of her studio
in New Delhi.
