In the evolving Indian fashion landscape, Anjana Bhargav has
carved a niche, for herself. She is best categorized as a
woman who designs for individuals with 'substance', She insists
on designing "real clothes" for "real women".
Initially on an extremely small level, Anjana started designing
for her friends. Armed with a formal degree in Textile Designing
and Pattern cutting combined with an inherent sense of aesthetics,
Anjana was encouraged by the overwhelming response she got.
She established Studio A, a design studio in New Delhi. She
launched her first collection at a fashion show in 1994 with
Bina Ramani, one of India's leading designers and pioneer
of the Indian Fashion Industry. This was soon followed by
a solo fashion show 'An Indian Summer', which was held at
the prestigious UNESCO Hall in Paris. Since then, Anjana has
had several showings in Sharjah, London, Kathmandu and New
York along with showings of her collections in New Delhi.
Anjana was recommended by the Ministry of External Affairs
to represent 'Women Entrepreneurs' at the OECD Conference
held in Paris in the year 2000, where over 300 women entrepreneurs
across the globe shared their experiences.
The Anjana Bhargav label reflects silhouettes where each collection
has an inspiration, with accessorized garments as her hallmark.
Her collections present an exclusive range of embroideries
on romantic fabrics, thus recreating the splendour of an ancient
era. Her designs resurrect patterns and skills of ancient
arts into the rhythm of modern life, keeping the accent always
on comfort, wearability and affordability. The penchant is
always on minimalistic styles that extend easy wearability
and understated elegance. Not merely celebrities, but individuals
who are achievers like Arundhati Roy, Shahnaz Hussain, Dr.
Kiran Bedi, Shubha Mudgal, Romy Dev, Feroz Gujral and Femina
Miss India Asia Pacific first runner up Divya Chauhan, are
some of her clientele.
Anjana has been actively designing for the Usha International
group of companies. Usha International has the largest network
of Usha sewing schools across the country. She has been commissioned
to upgrade and develop the curriculum for the Usha International
Fashion Institute.
Anjana's creativity is not restricted to fashion alone, but
extends to interior designing as well. She has to her credit
projects as diverse as private homes and farmhouses to commercial
establishments including the revamping of the New Delhi Stock
Exchange. Here again her designs reflect her creative yet
practical approach.
Anjana's recent venture is Perfect 10, the complete personality
institute, a first-of-its-kind, not only in the capital but
also in the region. Perfect 10 is about grooming, appearances,
conduct and a sense of style. Anjana's fifteen years of passionate
involvement with lifestyle designing imparts a distinct and
discerning touch to the Perfect 10 institute. Her shows also
reflect her quest for individuality. In October 2000 she unveiled
her Fall/Winter 2000 Collection paying tribute to mothers
and daughters. Some of New Delhi's most distinguished mothers
and daughters showcased her collections. In April 2000 along
with the ambassadors of several countries, she organized a
show where Latin American girls modelled her outfits for 'Udayan'
a trust for orphaned and abandoned children.
