Founder of Fashion Art - SUGAVANESWARI @ SUGUNA SHANMUGAM has earned her graduate degree in the commerce field. Her journey into the fashion sector began in 2009. Initially, she attended a tailoring class near her residence, but she found the experience unsatisfactory.

​

Driven by her passion for sewing, she enrolled in a school and completed her foundational courses. At that moment, she harbored a dream of establishing a fashion design institute. To make her dream a reality, she visited various institutions to learn about various embroidery, art, and craft techniques, as well as to gain teaching experience in the fashion industry.

​

After acquiring knowledge and significant experience, she opened a small tailoring training center close to her home. This center eventually trained over 150 students, many of whom started their own businesses.

​

Witnessing her growing confidence, she sought further experience by working at a well-known institute in Coimbatore for three years, serving as both a tutor and marketing staff.

​

This role did not fully satisfy her aspirations, so she pursued a Master's degree in Fashion Designing, in which she excelled. Following her graduation, she participated in numerous fashion shows in and around Coimbatore.

​

Her talent was recognized when she was named "The Best Creative Designer of Tamil Nadu 2017" at a fashion show hosted by Tex Valley. She continued to work diligently towards her ultimate goal, and in 2017, she launched her fashion designing institute, Fashion Art, in Coimbatore.

​

Her journey is a testament to the fact that hard work always pays off. She is deeply passionate about her profession.
