Sandhya Garg

Not all designers are born, bred and reside in New York City, Paris or Milan. Some of the most renowned designers have had humble beginnings in places such as Haynesville, LA (Geoffrey Beene), Vicksburg, MS (Patrick Kelly), and Amite, LA (Billy Reid). But the common denominator is their passion for their craft and their drive to create beautiful fashions. NOLAFW's Top Designer Winner, Sandhya Garg’s passion started at the young age of 8 and she’s never lost focus. Graduating at the Institute of Fashion Technology in India and the London College of Fashion, Sandhya paved her way to studying with fashion greats such as Alexander McQueen and Gucci in Italy. Since winner NOLAFW's Top Design Competition, Garg has gone on to be one of the emerging designers on Lifetime’s TV Show Project Runway, Season 13. Sandhya has successfully proved to herself and the world she has a unique talent and drive to succeed in the fashion industry.
