Urban Exotic

Livalya by Vaishali presents its 2020 Fall Collection ‘Urban Exotic ‘in collaboration with Livein Magazine. In this captivating editorial, the brand shows its versatility and elegance, ideal for dressing a woman who has to carry on her busy life and wants to be comfortable and classy in her clothes and ready for any occasion.

While getting her master’s degree in Indian History at The University of Jammu, India, fashion designer Vaishali developed a keen interest in the riches and diversity of Indian’s artisanal heritage. She has traveled extensively within India, interacting with skilled artisans and craftsmen with diverse specialties, observing their detailed work, and marveling at every new destination's beautiful outcomes.

Inspired by their legacy and craftmanship, she wanted to bring them to the limelight by carefully curating and designing each product to suit the contemporary international market. It was from this desire that Livalya was founded in October 2014.

Having worked for about a decade in the fashion industry as an executive responsible for North America at an exclusive New York-based embroidery house, Vaishali has honed her keen eye for detail. Her collection of intricate design, weave, and fabrics is a testament to that.

Her passion for supporting artisanal heritage is not limited to India. She has brought Indian craftsmanship to NYC by empowering the hand behind handmade. Moreover, the present collection has styles that have been sewn by women rescued from human trafficking. Through Livalya, Vaishali aspires to bring craftsmanship from across the world to center stage and empower women.

The 2020 Fall Collection features a uniquely crafted handmade fusion of designs for the urban women who exude confidence, are self-reliant, and balance life at work & home with ease.

This collection presents a beautiful blend of colors and textures from the exotic land of India. Fine fabrics and high-end tailoring ensure a perfect fit and a classy look.
