Ethnic Women Designers

Southeast Asia's Goldmine

This is purely my thoughts on this subject, so I'm going out on a limb to say this:  Southeast Asia (more specifically India) has a stupendous amount of female designers. The more I look into India's fashion houses, the more women designers I find, and it is fantastic!

Sadly, in my humble opinion, American and Western European women designers are not at the forefront, they exist but it's hard to name a few. Sure, there are celebrities with clothing lines, think Gwen Stephanie of No Doubt, but men dominate.

So it's quite refreshing to see so many prominent women designers flying solo or part of a team like: Neeta Lulla, Ritu Kumar, Ritu Beri, Rabani & Rakha, to name just a few.
