About: Purnima Pilinja
Purnima has always been interested in all forms of art. She would have taken up a career in architecture, but realized it was fashion she was interested in. Coming from a family of bankers, engineers and doctors she did her Masters in Statistics to keep up to family expectations, after which, she started work with the design team of a garment exporter. Marriage and motherhood then happened for the aspiring designer. She designed for her daughters as they were growing up, especially during their ‘mom, I have nothing to wear’ teen years. Soon she took up to designing for her friends. The word soon spread and the label ‘Purnima Pilinja’ was born. Her collection showcased prom gowns, brunch and party dresses, destination wardrobes, red carpet dresses and cocktail saris. With the launch of her store in Goa Purnima embarks on new journey as the label gets ready to explore new horizons.
