Krishna Mehta's tryst with designing began in February 1982.
Accomplishing the fashion designing masters in 1978 from the Sophia Polytechnic, Mumbai, Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai in 1981 and an extensive training in weaving at the Weavers Service Centre, Mumbai, Krishna joined the family business of garments exports in 1982.
In 1989, Krishna took the fledgling Indian fashion industry by storm with her menswear collection. Her perfectly cut and impeccably finished lines have established her as a respected name in men's fashion.
The first menswear designer, Krishna then introduced her Indo-West and fusion lines for women in 1991 which were also the first of it's kind to be seen in the country.
In order to make her garments within the reach of a larger market, Krishna launched "K2", her label for ready-to-wear garments for women in 1998. The brands 'Krishna Mehta' and 'K2' are available in her franchisee store in Baroda, Ensemble in Mumbai and Delhi and across all 'Be' stores in India and Dubai.
"Krishna Mehta's" is a label synonymous with classic designs of understated elegance. Relaxed yet bold, in keeping with the pace of the contemporary life. Today, Krishna Mehta could easily be called the priestess of classicism who has continued perfecting her designs and styles, realising the acute awareness of Indian Fashion internationally. Be it her pret or couture lines, "Krishna Mehta" boasts a distinctive style, a creation that can be spotted miles away anywhere in the world.
India Fashion Week 2005
Fall/ Winter 05-06
Inspiration: Our muse is feminine but not coy. Her beauty is not to be tamed but more given to the frivolities of nature. She understands the world and its ways and is ready to accept the thorns but without giving up the flowers. This quality of realness and zest reflects the beauty of her inner self.
Silhouettes: The silhouettes are soft and flowing, with the movement of unrestricted sensuousness and feminity.
Fabric: Chiffon, georgette, tulle, satin and crepe that drape the form sensually and move with the contours of the body.
Colors: The palette is rich with the earthen Browns, Cinnamon and Porcelaine. Soothing, Greys and Blues with a twist of re-generating corn & pink, adding vibrancy to the collection.
Look: 'Krishna Mehta' is all about 'garments for the woman of today'. The look is sensuous yet bold in faded richness and sophisticated antiquity, blending with the world's modernity yet keeping with the traditional heritage of the country.
