Ritu Kumar, who began her career in 1969, started with just four hand block printers and two tables in a small village near Kolkata.
Fast forward 50 years and today she is a brand to reckon with.
One of India's veteran fashion designers, she loves designing for the young generation.
We go down memory lane and take a look at some of our favourite looks from Ritu Kumar's shows through the years.
