HONOURING INDIAN WOMEN

By Megan Park

As we celebrate 21 years of Megan Park, we also honour the incredible women who have made it all possible. To mark this milestone, Megan has delved back into her archive of past collections and photographed some of her favourites on the strong, Indian women with which she’s shared her journey.

Nitu Singh, has worked with Megan as Producer since the beginning, and over those 21 years has become Megan’s business partner, big sister and mentor all rolled into one. Garima was Megan’s Production and Sampling Assistant in India from 2011-14. Strong and independent, Garima now runs motorbike trekking tours across the Himalaya.

We hope you enjoy these small tales of large characters from the history of Megan Park, and continue to join us in celebrating the intricacies and longevity of Megan’s designs as pictured below. 

 

NITU SINGH | Company Director 

 

"Having worked with Nitu as our producer since the inception of the brand 21 years ago, she is my business partner, big sister and mentor all rolled into one.  Her devoted team of artisans and tailors are responsible for the collections we design and it is with grace and integrity that she guides and makes all work as seamlessly as it does."
