Babita Malkani

Perfection, Panache and Distinction is what defines Babita Malkani who is truly one of India's leading designers and is a master of her craft. Being synonymous with high end fashion globally and locally she has made her mark in the fashion industry. Fashion is something Babita Malkani has literally grown up with, hailing from a family that has successfully been involved in the fashion business. Babita’s keen involvement and interests in fashion & style took flight from a rented garage in Santa Cruz - Mumbai, way back in 1988, where she set up her first business under the label “Whispers”

Given her distinctively urban sense of styling that was evident from her early works, her launch label whispers grew manifold, and going forward she set up her office under the label Studio Spa under the Whispers Inc. Company on Broadway in NYC, where her collections were retailed across highly profiled outlets. Being always more inclined towards high fashion and haute couture, and yearning to bring her international exposure into her designs, Babita launched her new label Babita M, in 2006. Babita M is now a well-established label based out of India that currently retails to cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Dubai, London, New York, Atlanta and Johannesburg.

Extending her immensely remarkable fashion creations and elegance Babita has successfully styled renowned celebrities like Asin, Farah Khan, Amrita Rao, Eeshaa Kopikar, Tabu, Sonal Chauhan, Geeta Basra, Diana Hayden, Shreya Saran, Celina Jaitely to name a few, for their personal and professional assignments. Babita was also assigned to design the outfits and styling for the Miss India contestants including Miss India- World Pooja Chopra. As a designer her work has also gained mass and critical appeal and in recognition of her talent she has also been involved with various renowned fashionable events viz. Lakme Fashion Week, MTV Style Diva, D’Damas, International Boat show- Mumbai to name a few. Her versatility was also displayed on the ramp for Salman Khan’s Being human show, for which she was highly appreciated. Babita’s primary collection of SS 2010 has been launched at the Bangalore Fashion Week. The silhouettes were free flowing and the colors were bright and vibrant. The theme being ‘Glassica,’ was a tribute to the artisans of stained glass. Koena Mitra and the endearing Pankaj Advani who associated with her brand were also the show stoppers for her show.

On a global level Babita was the designer chosen to exclusively design jackets for the winning team for the ICC champion’s trophy 2009 in South Africa, and has etched the footprint of Indian designers globally. Her most recent showing was a splendid collection titled“LES COULEURS D ‘ AGATE “ inspired from the colors of the AGATE stone, which was launched at The Dubai Fashion Week 2009, and was received with a standing ovation the collection was sold off the shelves in Dubai, South Africa and Europe.

Post Dubai Fashion Week and Bangalore Fashion week, her Latest collection ‘Boh –Aum’ was then showed at Lakme Fashion Week – Summer Resort 2010. The applause continued with Harman Baweja as her Show stopper accompanying Pankaj Advani this time round, along with receiving amazing reviews for the Collection.

Excellence being her attitude and designs being her forte Babita has evolved as a designer with dignity and fortitude over the years and as a woman she has set the standards for being independent, successful and has set an example to the rest of the women in our country by her skills, her intelligence and her creativity.
