About the designers:
Shivika Agarwal
Shivika Agarwal established her brand in 2024. Her latest collection she will be showing is about the forgotten treasures found in the lanes of Nigliri Hills. The Toda Embroidery, also locally known as ‘pukhoor’, is a craft practiced by the woman of Toda tribe of Nilgiris, in Tamil Nadi. These tribal women weave distinctive geometrical patterns in their pugar (or flower) embroidery style. Agarwal took inspiration from their primary garment – a shawl locally known as ‘Puthkilo’. This craft form is created with steel needles and woolen thread – mainly in black and red. Shivika takes traditions and redefines them taking luxury to a whole new meaning. The resort wear collection gives a nomadic feel on a luxury and classy foundation.
