Each year, we handpick the most exciting labels-on-the-rise and turn the spotlight on them. Pankaj & Nidhi, Nimish Shah, Nikhil Thampi, Rahul Mishra, Payal Khandwala – all the names that are changing Indian fashion as we know it right now – they began their journey, right here, as ELLE Graduates. The class of 2015 is blindingly bright too; we introduced you to finalists Sahil KochharDhruv Kapoor, Rina Singh (of Era), Anvil Mishra and Rashmi Varma in our December 2015 edition.
