About

Hi, I’m Ayush Shrestha, a Creative Fashion Designer and Fashion Design Lecturer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I blend hands-on design practice with academic expertise to mentor students, lead boutique projects, and craft trend-forward collections that align with luxury brand storytelling.
My journey began at 19 assisting in a family boutique, which sparked my passion for crafting immersive client experiences. Since then I’ve designed and curated collections, built strong client relationships, and mentored aspiring designers to explore their unique styles while thinking beyond the box to elevate brand heritage in global fashion houses.
