About
Etosha Paul
Fashion designer. Architecture first, then fashion. Seoul-trained, Kolkata-based, working in colour.
Guided by imagination and a vivid inner world, my designs reflect how I see the world, dynamic and always evolving. They speak boldly and with a carefree spirit that is unafraid to challenge the convention and celebrate individuality. Rooted in vibrancy and a nuanced perspective, my work envisions a world without creative limits.
My design explorations are youthful, bold, pop-culture inspired and made to stand out. The drive for fashion is fuelled and distinguished by my background in architecture: structure, volume and the discipline of a working drawing.
