Supriya Lele is the designer behind her acclaimed, London-based eponymous label. Drawing on her Indian heritage and British cultural identity, her work explores the intersection of cultures through a distinctly female lens, offering a nuanced and deeply personal perspective.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, where she completed an MA in Fashion Womenswear in 2016, Lele made her London Fashion Week debut with Fashion East in 2017 before receiving full NEWGEN sponsorship from the British Fashion Council. She went on to receive a share of the LVMH Prize fund in 2020, was named to the Business of Fashion’s BoF 500 in 2022, and was nominated for the New Establishment Award at the British Fashion Awards in 2023.
Described by LVMH as “one of the most talked about, relevant creative entities in the industry,” Lele has received international recognition, with her work featured in British Vogue, Vogue Runway, The New York Times, Self Service, i-D and Dazed & Confused, and exhibited globally. Lele works closely with a core team of international collaborators, including stylist Jane How and creative director Jonny Lu. She has partnered with leading image-makers Oliver Hadlee Pearch, Jamie Hawkesworth (SS20), Sohrab Hura (SS22), Harley Weir (AW22) and Anders Edström (SS24).
Her SS24 show, staged in the car park of London’s Barbican Centre, marked her first independent presentation at London Fashion Week. Sponsored by Bentley Motors and incorporating innovative Tencel fabrics, the show brought together her distinctive design language and an unexpected architectural setting. Her brand partnerships include Victoria’s Secret, for which she created a reimagined collection for its 2023 World Tour, in addition to Bentley Motors and Mango. The Supriya Lele x Mango capsule, launched in 2025, achieved strong global sell-through.
In 2023, Lele co-founded the South London art gallery Qrystal Partners, extending her practice beyond fashion. The gallery later provided the setting for her AW24 collection and the brand’s showroom, reflecting her ongoing commitment to cross-disciplinary storytelling and cultural exchange. In September 2026, Lele featured in a fragrance campaign for Frédéric Malle, created in collaboration with AnOther Magazine.
