Born and brought up in the culturally rich state of Lucknow in India, Deepika Khatri always had an inherent penchant for art. It was this inner calling that drove her to National Institute Of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Bangalore, and eventually, to Frankfurt, Germany. As a child, she nurtured her love for fashion by being her own stylist, model and audience in front of the mirror, in the small world that was her house. As she grew up, she initially treads the path her parents charted for her, joining a course in Bachelors of Art. But her heart still belonged to fashion and when she recognised her inner voice, she decided to listen to it. Deepika dropped out of her course and applied to India’s leading fashion institute, National Institute Of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Bangalore, and to her own surprise effortlessly qualified. At NIFT, she completed Bachelor Of Knitwear Designing and was bestowed with the ‘Most Creative Knitwear Designer’ award by SHIMA SEIKI, in her batch. Deepika then went on to work in an export and buying house, as a fashion designer for international brands the likes of MATLAN, Tally Weijl, UCB, Dorothy Perkins. Her constant pursuit to better her craft got her to Germany as the winner of the ‘Fashion Designer Mentoring Program Hessen’ in 2022, and soon after, she was also selected for the ‘Women Entrepreneurship Programme’ by Cornell University, sponsored by Bank of America.
