This fashion designer dedicates herself to Tharu dresses to educate people about the culture

Sushila Chaudhary, a native of Kailali in Sudurpaschim, says getting into fashion designing was a matter of pure luck. Yet, the maker of Tharu dresses feels this is what she should do in her life now as it has given her an opportunity to promote and educate people about her culture.

“I came to Kathmandu to take finance training in 2013. But, the training changed my perception,” the 29-year-old Chaudhary says, “I felt that I should also do a business, and wanted to learn some skills and earn through that. Government or private job was not my cup of tea. So I stayed here and joined the IEC School of Art & Fashion to study fashion design.”
