AYESHA DEPALA

Fashion designer

Depala founded her fashion label back in 2002 and quickly developed a reputation for bespoke gowns. Her creations have been worn by Bollywood A-listers and brides from the UAE, Saudi, Iran and Europe, while also attracting attention from international brands in Dubai. Last year, she moved to a new space at Dubai Design District after eight years at a location in Jumeirah and saw her gowns picked up by major retailer Harvey Nichols. Moving on to 2018, she has added to the portfolio by venturing into readyto-wear items including jeans for her Spring/Summer collection.
