SWATHI PURUSHOTHAMAN

I have always been a jack of all trades, but king of none. This made me realize that probably that is my strength. I never isolate the things that i do from each other - be it design, architecture, dance , relationships with people, places and things. I have a strange way of bringing them all together and this has made me enjoy my work process and drives me to do better. The love for well-made clothes that are unique and reflect one"s"personality is what got me making clothes for friends and family initially. With appreciation and demand for more, Studio 149 happened very organically and i didnt have any vision for it 3 years back. This is a baby i never planned on having - but have nurtured with all my heart. Moving to the UK post wedding has given me new waters to test and widened my horizons. Looking back today, i feel the journey here has taught me that every downfall makes me get back up stronger, every mistake teaches a new lesson and every relationship i have made contributes to my growth as a person, designer and entrepreneur.
