As featured in People Magazine and Elle, and highlighted by Vogue India as a top destination in “An NRI Bride’s Guide to Buying Traditional Wedding Wear Around the World,” Studio East6 has become a global name in South Asian fashion.
Founded in 2014 in Chicago, Studio East6 (SE6) is a trailblazing Indian multi-designer studio that was among the first to bring curated South Asian couture to the U.S. market. Over the years, SE6 has dressed a host of prominent South Asian actors, producers, and influencers—including Mindy Kaling—and has been featured on popular TV shows such as Netflix’s Love Is Blind (Season 2, worn by Deepti Vempati) and Bravo TV.
