When she was 17 , she moved to Paris to explore a career in fashion and lived. I have been studying dance in India for seven years.
Her clothing line comes from her international experiences while celebrating the female form – it is sold in more than 50 stores across the country. According to a press release, Uggs founder Brian Smith recently named SITA Couture a “luxury girls’ line”.
