Nepal’s Fashion Trailblazer – Oshima Banu

Oshima Banu

Oshima Banu, founder of House of Fashion Nepal and En Vogue, has spent over 13 years shaping Nepal’s modeling and fashion industry. A dedicated leader, she’s passionate about life, personal growth, and turning challenges into lessons that inspire others. Through her work, she has empowered countless individuals to transform into confident, self-assured versions of themselves.

Her journey is one of determination, not luck. And today, she continues to raise the bar for Nepal’s fashion scene with En Vogue XI—a platform built on creativity, inclusivity, and transformation.

When asked what motivated her to enter the world of fashion and entertainment, Oshima reflects on her early struggles:

My journey started with a small hope—to bring meaningful change to Nepal’s fashion and modeling industry. As someone who once faced a lack of guidance and opportunity as a model herself, I wanted to create a platform that empowered the new generation to shine.

That vision took shape as House of Fashion Nepal—a creative hub for youth empowerment and holistic development in the fashion scene. From there, En Vogue emerged as a natural extension, giving aspiring models professional exposure and a space to grow in confidence and individuality.

Oshima describes En Vogue as a journey of transformation, not just a competition.

We celebrate diversity and nurture real, raw potential. For every dreamer, En Vogue is more than a stage—it’s the beginning of something greater.”

What sets En Vogue apart is its complete development approach—offering grooming sessions, personality development, styling workshops, and real industry exposure. Each season carries a theme inspired by social narratives, cultural movements, and global fashion trends, ensuring that every event tells a story beyond the runway.

To young women dreaming of a modeling career, Oshima shares:

The path won’t be easy, but with belief, passion, and persistence, it’s possible. If I could do it through hard work, so can you. Embrace every experience, even failure, as growth. Love what you do, stay committed, and never be afraid to seek support.

The 11th season kicked off with a grand audition on July 5, followed by orientation on July 10 and intensive training sessions. This year, fans will get unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes moments through En Vogue’s official YouTube channel.
