Pria Kataria Puri
Among the original proponents of Indian 'Nouvelle Couture', Pria Kataria Puri stands in sharp contrast to her contemporaries. She won the Bharat Yuv Ratna Award along with the Bharat Vikas Award for designing women's wear.
Pria is totally committed to creating 'Occidental Couture', which is an amalgamation of Oriental and Western ideas, to add to the inner beauty and mystique of the female form. Her designs are modern in its form and Indian in its mode of expression, with colours and embroidery forming her distinctive area of specialisation.
Her role as fashion designer is more than just making outfits. She feels a moral obligation to keeping India's ancient heritage of fine craftsmanship alive for prosperity.
She sums up her fashion credo thus: "My label represents the multi-cultural multifaceted lifestyle of women today, who use my styles as tools to enhance and express their beauty and personality."
The urban mobile professional woman of today requires a multifaceted wardrobe in which she can follow her career, be a mother and a socialite leading a full life from morning to evening without fussing over her wardrobe.
Capturing the contemporary need for versatility, Pria creates clothes that have a perpetually evolving, yet timeless appeal. "Elegance doesn't mean being noticed, it means being remembered," she says.
Her signature is simple cuts, luxurious feminine fluid fabrics, rustics to smattering bright colour pallet and intricate and exquisite hand embroidery.
