About Aashni Anshul Doshi (Shah), Founder and Creative Director, Aashni + Co
For 30-year-old Aashni Anshul Doshi (Shah), opening a luxury, multidesigner boutique stocking a cocktail of the choicest Indian designers and couture in London’s quaint Notting Hill wasn’t part of Plan A. An erstwhile editor for commercials and Assistant Director for feature films, the London-based, Bombay-born entrepreneur’s life initially revolved around the magic of the cinematic experience. So much so that she moved to London to study filmmaking at The National Film and Television School and MET Film school at the age of 22. Little did she know, she was soon to be drawn into a different line of work, albeit one that would be just as aesthetically satisfying.
During her stay in the British capital, Aashni recognised a huge void of access to Indian design outside of India. Her intrinsic interest for curating and creating kicked in and were quickly channelled into building Aashni + Co, a vehicle to introduce a wealth of Indian fashion talent to London. An inherent passion for fashion, varied roles as a creative collaborator, interactions with likeminded people since the age of 18, culturally rich formative years in India as well as travel experiences have all played a vital role in writing Aashni’s success story. Ever since it’s inception in 2012, Aashni + Co has carved a niche for itself as one of London’s most sought after destinations for luxury Indian fashion, garnering attention from fashionistas and celebrities in the UK and Continental Europe alike
