“The goal of “Desi Is Me” is for girls who grow up in the US, who have a South Asian background, to feel confident and comfortable being involved and showing off their culture.” Lehengas are beautiful, flowy, and embellished skirts that are worn by South Asian women. These extraordinary garments are a part of a desi girl's culture and upbringing. However, these “out-of-this-world” and traditional skirts have many downfalls that come with them. Not until, a passionate and aspiring girl from Bay Area, California, acknowledged these outdated flaws and decided to take matters into her own hands. Millie Barman is the CEO of Desi Is Me, A clothing brand that provides affordable, elegant, and simple silhouettes for the modern desi girl. These lehengas are made by local and talented artisans in Lucknow, India, who have a huge impact on modern design. One goal of Desi is Me is to motivate these gifted individuals to create beautiful work and to be inspired by others in hopes of creating a positive socio-economic impact.
