Born and raised in Mumbai, India, Soigné Kothari received an undergraduate degree in Finance from H.R. College of Commerce in India and an Associate’s degree in Fashion Merchandising from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Being exposed to the family business of luxury products since she was young, Soigné has always understood the importance of quality and has had a keen eye for design aesthetics and details. She first exercised her love of design by helping her family and friends to select clothing and accessories. Realizing that there was a large market in New York City for clothing that paid homage to traditional Indian dress but with modern, western silhouettes, she began to design her own clothing and jewelry and host trunk shows. Soigné went on to design Karma, a successful line of spiritually inspired jewelry that was distributed nationally by Fragments. Soigné decided to combine both her education and design backgrounds to open a retail store that could serve as a platform for Indian designers and expose them to a Western customer base. She has stated, “My dream of designing and love of Indian fashion has never faded. Fashion is all about creating brands. With Soigne K, I will be creating a brand for these talented designers”.
