This Indian atelier is also responsible for the embroidery on JLo’s MFW SS20 re-worked Versace dress👇🏽
Chanakya isn’t some rinky dink lil workshop either — They have an embroidery school in Mumbai. Some students are employed by the atelier following completion

It should be noted that Chanakya also has offices/showroom right here in the U.S. —-In V.A. They also have one in Italy.
The woman in this photo is Monica Shah, 1 of 2 head designers of JADE. JADE is a couture Indian line. They also leverage Chanakya embroidering — It should also be noted that Monica + Karishma are good friends with Dior women’s CD Maria Grazia Chiuri

See, how those dots connect
Maria Grazia Chiuri collaborated with the Chakanya embroidery school for Dior’s Haute Couture SS2020 —

The embroidery school partnered with artist Judy Chicago to create 21 embroidered panels with the help of 150 Chakanya students. Each panel took 500-2,800 hours to make👇🏽
