Vaishali Shadangule is the first Indian designer to showcase her collection at the Paris Haute Couture Week 2021.
Lycee Victor Duruy, a high school in Paris, served as the perfect backdrop for the collection titled Breath; Shwas.
'It fills my heart with joy to take pride in Indian heritage on an international platform,' Vaishali wrote as she shared glimpses of her Fall-Winter 2021 collection.
