Hi, I’m Sheetal Bhat, a junior fashion designer specializing in RTW and product development, with experience spanning luxury and digital-first collections across Europe and Asia. I love merging innovation, sustainability, and craft to deliver market-relevant garments, guiding them from concept through fittings and production follow-up.
During my internships and collaborations, I’ve worked with international teams to push creative boundaries under high pressure, supported backstage operations at fashion weeks, and turned bold ideas into tangible, well-constructed pieces. I’m passionate about continuous learning, collaboration, and delivering design solutions that balance aesthetics with practicality.
