The major recognition celebrates Shrestha’s remarkable 15-year journey in redefining sustainable luxury bridal fashion in London, one of the world’s leading fashion capitals. Known for blending eco-conscious values with high-end couture craftsmanship, Shrestha has become one of the most respected names in ethical bridal design across the United Kingdom.

International media have often described her as the “Greta of the Wedding World” for her pioneering work in eco-luxury fashion. Long before sustainability became a global trend in the fashion industry, Shrestha launched her environmentally conscious bridal brand in 2011 with a vision focused on ethical beauty and responsible craftsmanship.
Her influence has already secured a historic place in fashion history. Shrestha became the first designer of Nepali origin to have one of her bridal creations permanently preserved in the prestigious Fashion Museum collection in the United Kingdom. The museum houses more than 100,000 fashion pieces dating back to the 16th century, making the recognition a significant achievement not only for her career but also for Nepal’s representation in global fashion.
