MELISSA WHITLER | NBCU FellowMelissa@DallasVoice.com At only 17 years old, Neha Sikder founded Desoire, her own fashion line of genderless clothing to inspire femininity for everyone.
Desoire strives to be a sustainable brand challenging a fashion industry that often promotes only the masculine side in unisex clothing.
Sikder was only 13 years old when the idea for Desoire came to her. She was listening to a podcast and heard the term “genderless fashion” for the first time.
After doing some research, she was drawn in by this whole realm of expression. Despite having no previous experience, Sikder jumped in to learning about clothing design and manufacturing.“I knew I wanted to have a positive impact on the world, and this seemed like a way to do that,” Sikder said.
