Mrunalini Rao
Mrunalini has always enjoyed art and craft. Growing up, all her work had an element of design in it. Her love for playing dress-up as a kid propelled the creative person in me to actively dabble and sketch fashion illustrations and elaborate gowns. In school, she was also very intrigued by human anatomy and its physiology. She wanted to pursue science professionally. She was in a constant tussle between her passion for design and interest in science. However, she followed her intuition to learn design and pursued her undergraduate studies in Design at NIFT.

The Beginning…
While Mrunalini had secured admission in University of Arts London, she was already employed over a year as an assistant designer. Sharing her journey, Mrunalini says “I was young, ferocious, restless and had a burning passion to start my own label! I wanted to bring a new art of clothing to life and that was the genesis for the label ‘Mrunalini Rao’, launched in 2014”.
Mrunalini Rao label
Mrunalini Rao believes that a design is made with art, craft and love. She loves Indian wear: it’s dramatic silhouettes, large flares and huge surface area to work on. The diversity in Indian crafts and cultures have inspired me to choose Indian wear as her main stream of design. Her strength lies in surface design and she likes to challenge herself to include contemporary elements into Indian wear. She weaves tradition with modern aesthetic to discover a new design statement for every collection and that has become the Brand’s Identity. Every design is intricately handcrafted from a white fabric to a fully finished product. The label offers a range of artistic, elegant and comfortable clothing in Pret, Fusion and Bridal Wear.
