FINALIST OF THE 2020 LVMH PRIZE

SUPRIYA LELEby SUPRIYA LELE

Designer Supriya Lele is a young creative lauded by British Vogue as proposing ‘an excellent wardrobe for modern Britain.’ With a unique intersectional and decidedly female viewpoint, Lele creates by telling a nuanced and delicate story.
Her first standalone runway show in September 2019 lit up the London schedule.
Lele graduated from the Royal College of Art in July 2016. After showcasing under the Fashion East scheme for three seasons, Supriya was awarded full NEWGEN sponsorship from the British Fashion Council.
Supriya Lele's work is deeply rooted in her own cross-cultural point of view, associating her Indian heritage and British cultural identity alongside her passion for minimalism in design. Lele explores the materiality of her culture employing a deliberately lo-fi and subversive approach to textiles, cut and fabrication, elevating these visual codes through a sense of ‘new luxury.’
