Kolkata based Suman Nathvani is India’s first undergarment and sleepwear designer who passed the gateway of Lakme Fashion Week to participate in the event. Hailing from a traditional Marwari family, Suman’s husband has supported her all the way in pursuing her line of interest. She is a preliminary member of Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), which provides platform for new designers. Though the lingerie business has entered the Indian market, it will take a long time to grow up as the Indian society is still very conservative. She designs undergarment and sleepwear under the label of La Lingerie which has branches in three cities, Kolkata, Delhi and Guwahati and the fourth store would be opening in Noida soon. She has designed a line of beachwear, which will be launched shortly. Suman is probably the only designer in the country who designs sleepwear and undergarments while other designers are into home furnishings, accessories and perfumes.
