Akanksha Singh
Akanksha Singh was born and raised in Delhi by her father who is a retired superintendent engineer and mother who is an astrologer and poet. For the designer, her mother stands as a constant source of inspiration, wisdom, and guidance. As a child, Akanksha was very hardworking and found herself extremely drawn to art. Her calling was in visuals and mature expression through art, which she often experimented with at the back of her notebook. Apart from this, she also loved singing, dancing, making portraits, and performing at plays. She loved taking centre stage and owning the mic whenever possible. Akanksha always aspired to be a leader and add value to people’s lives with her passion for all things artistic! It is this vision that further influenced the launch of her label.

The beginning…
Akanksha worked as a designer with the brand Giovani, along with their export house that enabled her to deal with international brands like Zara, STR, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Riverisland, etc. She pursued a Master’s course at Pearl Academy, specialising in Fashion & Textiles. She also worked with Pankaj & Nidhi - one of India’s most creative and acknowledged labels. Handling design for over 3.5 years as a Senior Designer at Pankaj & Nidhi gave Akanksha a launchpad of her own. This is what led to the label ‘Breathe’ being launched in 2016.
Breathe by Akanksha Singh
Designs by ‘Breathe’ express themselves via re-created minuscule textures, patterns & details that keep the natural & organic charm intact! The brand plays with spontaneous intricate textures on silhouettes, keeping the traditional Indian essence alive. Breathe is pushing the envelope of the definition of fashion - bringing out a pure, organic, and unblemished version of ‘you.’ A fresh take on traditions, the brand celebrates the human essence with all their imperfections adding a modish tweak.
