Anjila Shrestha is a fashion designer, stylist, and professional makeup artist who brings a unique perspective to Nepal’s fashion scene. She shares how her multifaceted background influences her design process and the story behind her brand RTW.NP.

Her Design Aesthetic

If Anjila’s design style were a mood board, it would be “Clean vanilla, Lofi calm music.” This reflects her preference for simplicity and calm in her creative work.

Makeup and Fashion Connection

Being a makeup artist and fashion designer, Anjila gets inspiration from both fields. She says, “Makeup and styling go hand in hand, and when it comes to designing, I like to incorporate basic fashion elements that complement various makeup looks. I also think about the possibilities of styling pieces in different ways. After a design launch, I love giving people styling tips to help them make the most of the pieces.”

Proudest Career Moment

Anjila’s proudest ‘pinch me’ moment was reading all the amazing reviews from customers saying how confident and stylish they felt wearing RTW.NP, and how many compliments they got. On top of that, people started reaching out to her asking for tips on fashion designing and even how to build their own brands.

“I couldn’t believe something I created could inspire and help so many people. It was such a proud and unreal feeling.”

“I usually prefer classic designs because trends come and go quickly. I like to stick with timeless pieces that can be worn even after several years, instead of chasing fast-changing trends.”

Anjila’s Power Outfit

“My go-to power outfit is a classic short dress that highlights only my legs, with no prints, styled with some fancy heels or boots, simple and very me.”

Origin of RTW.NP

“For RTW.NP, as someone who loves styling and fashion, I noticed how expensive things can get – and not everyone can afford quality, stylish clothing with size versatility. So I wanted to focus on that and build a brand that offers fashionable, versatile pieces that don’t break the bank.”

Most Personal Piece

The one personal and symbolic piece from RTW.NP has to be its black waistcoat. It’s more than just a piece of clothing, it’s timeless. You can wear it casually, dress it up for a meeting, or layer it in so many creative ways. What makes it really special isn’t just that it’s affordable, but that it has an adjustable back so you can fit it just right, and it comes in sizes up to 4XL, because everyone deserves to feel good in what they wear. This is one piece that will never go out of style.

What’s Next for RTW.NP

RTW.NP and team are really excited to grow their menswear collection. They’re working on more men’s styling content to help everyone look and feel their best.

Her Vision for Nepali Fashion

If Anjila could leave a mark on the Nepali fashion scene, it would be to revive and celebrate Nepal’s cultural heritage by blending traditional elements with modern designs. She wants to show the world how rich and beautiful Nepali culture is through fashion that feels fresh, relevant, and respectful to the roots.
