Neeta Lulla is one of the most celebrated and respected names in the Indian fashion industry today. Counted amongst India’s top bridal fashion designers she has created nothing short of a legacy in the fashion and film industry in a career spanning over 40 years.

Starting her journey at the young age of 16, Neeta Lulla finished her formal education in Dressmaking and Apparel construction from SNDT University after which she got her first job with the famous fashion choreographer Jeanne Naoroji. Crediting her time there with valuable insights into the design and execution of fashion shows, she later returned to her alma mater, SNDT, as a lecturer, where she thoroughly enjoyed sharing her knowledge and teaching the next generation.
