Rina Dhaka is a fashion designer, who made a promising entry in the Indian fashion scene around late eighties and from there on she became the most creative and dynamic fashion designer India has ever witnessed. Currently she is known more for her innovative textile skills in Indian wear and her international sensibilities for western outfits. She has been a dreamer ever since her childhood and this has translated into her style of work.

Rina Dhaka is best known for stand out elements of a collection, western wear
remains an area of dominance though she also designs ethnic and
conventional ensembles. Her designs juggle between remaining
traditionally rich while embracing contemporary attitude.
After
graduation Rina Dhaka trained under Ivan Grundhall and nurtured her dreams of
being a fashion designer. Today she is referred as the Gaultier of east
by BBC, perfectly apt for her innovative and in depth research based
collections. She is the fashion crusader of combining traditional Indian
garments with 20th century modern fabrics like lycra and jersey.
It was great to have her at 'FAITHfully Yours?' exhibition along with Sonal Kalra, Jayshree Burman & Monika Halan. It was women's day whenever all these ladies were present for Photography Exhibition in Siri Fort Institutional Area.
