Riddhima Whabi has always been drawn to the ways stories and style shape our lives. Raised in Dubai and dividing her time between Dubai and Mumbai, her work, studies, and creative pursuits have been guided by an enduring interest in self-expression, and the role of style in our lives.
Her journey began in fashion. After studying fashion design and marketing, she was recognized as the Swarovski Young Fashion Designer in 2001 and went on to co-found a fashion label whose collections were carried by international retailers and worn by women across fashion, Bollywood, and Hollywood for more than fifteen years.
Driven by a growing interest in philosophy, Riddhima later returned to academia, earning a degree in Philosophy from the University of London. Her dissertation explored the morality of fashion, examining questions of art, self-expression, cultural identity, and ethics. She also completed courses on the science of well-being through Yale University and on finding purpose and meaning through the University of Michigan.
Beyond her work in fashion, Riddhima founded The Celebration Foundation, an initiative dedicated to celebrating milestones for underprivileged children. She is also Brand Director at RocketLinen, a luxury home linen company, where she continues to apply her expertise in design, storytelling, and brand building.
Today, Riddhima’s interests lie at the intersection of style, philosophy, and self-expression.
