About Dhiyaa Couture
Dhiyaa Couture is a luxury couture house rooted in Rajputi heritage, refined craftsmanship, and timeless femininity. We create heirloom garments that embody royalty, depth, and quiet power. Our purpose is to preserve and revive the legacy of Rajputi attire by reimagining traditional garments as couture. Every creation honours centuries of craftsmanship, artistry, and cultural heritage, ensuring these traditions continue to be celebrated and passed on for generations.
The Role
We are seeking an exceptionally creative and innovative Fashion Designer to join our core design team. In this role, you will be custodian to the visual and structural evolution of our heritage garments. Your primary focus will be conceptualizing, designing, and executing bespoke Rajputi Poshaks, ultra-luxury bridal couture, and high-fashion ensembles that balance historical authenticity with contemporary luxury.
The ideal candidate possesses a deep reverence for traditional Indian textiles, master-level understanding of embroidery, and an innate ability to translate rich cultural themes into unique, breathtaking silhouettes. You must be an adaptive researcher, a skilled illustrator, and a visionary storyteller through fabric and drape.

- Rajputi Poshak & Bridal Specialization: Research, conceptualize, and design authentic yet reimagined Rajputi Poshaks and bridal heirloom pieces, ensuring structural respect for heritage attire while infusing high-fashion luxury elements.
- Artwork & Embroidery Development: Create intricate, detailed artwork for hand-embroidery (Zardozi, Gota Patti, Aari, etc.). Work closely with master artisans (karigars) to translate paper sketches into flawless textile realities.
- Drapes & Pattern Engineering: Demonstrate advanced knowledge of garment patterns, structural tailoring, and sophisticated draping techniques to create flawless fits for custom couture and bridal clients.
- Research & Adaptability: Conduct extensive research into historical Indian garments, royal textiles, and global luxury trends. Adapt complex traditional references into cohesive, market-relevant luxury collections.
- Cross-Functional Team Coordination: Coordinate smoothly between the pattern masters, production teams, embroidery artisans, and the marketing department to ensure design integrity is maintained from sketch to the final runway or retail-ready piece.
Qualifications & Experience
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design from a premier fashion institute (NIFT, Pearl Academy, or equivalent).
- Experience: Minimum of 2+ years of professional experience as a fashion designer in the Luxury Fashion space, with a proven portfolio in bridal couture or heritage Indian wear.
- Technical Design Tools: Proficient in digital design software including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, and Canva for flat sketches, digital illustrations, and tech packs.
