THE LASALLE SHOW 2022
Born and raised in India in a household of art enthusiasts, Vrinda Maheswari translates her background into a formative understanding of the creative streams. Maheswari has always held a fascination for written word, and a visual focused world of fashion due to its diversity, unique nature, and freedom for self-expression. Completing an undergraduate degree in Singapore, the cultural diaspora of both lands has further shaped her understanding of fashion, design. This has honed her ability to communicate emotions and lived experiences through writing and discourse.
