And that she did. In 1995, Dongre founded her eponymous label, House of Anita Dongre, which has since expanded with additional companies: Grassroot (a subset of sustainable pieces), Pinkcity (her fine jewelry line) and Global Desi, all of which blend modern styles with traditional craftsmanship.

Anita Dongre and Barbie unveiled the Diwali-inspired doll ahead of the Festival of Lights. The Barbie wears a Rajasthan-inspired koti vest.

The new Barbie Signature Diwali edition comes with a moonlight bloom lehenga designed by Dongre, which includes a choli top, a floral Koti vest, and a lehenga skirt that has intricately been done in dahlia, jasmine, and Indian lotus flowers. Dahlia generally is associated with strength and Jasmine speaks of beauty.
