After studying at the American College in London, Sonya Battla studied fashion design from the UK’s famous Central Saint Martin’s. In 1999, she officially opened up an outlet in Zamzama, where she stayed for almost 15 years until recently, when she relocated her studio on E-Street. “I was contemplating it for a while. In recent times, Zamzama lanes have become so crowded and there is always a parking issue. Here, the neighbourhood is excellent; there is Xanders, N-Pro and Peng. Not that I am complaining about my former neighbourhood, it had its own charm, but frankly speaking, the place got overcrowded,” says Battla.
“Zamzama office was a small office. I used to take less number of bridal orders because I couldn’t handle my clients there. This, however, is a beautiful store and will have a beautiful story to tell,” she continues.
The studio, housing casual wear on the ground floor and formal wear on the first floor, is squeezed between Xanders and Nabila’s N-Pro.
