Divya’s passion for fashion started at a very young age. She grew up watching her grandmother peddling on the traditional sewing machine making her own garments, panties, brassieres and underskirts. This had an underlined influence that would later sculpt her path for a career. Divya says about her grandmother:
“Making her own patterns onto newspaper and cutting cotton fabrics then putting all of these together to make a wearable perfectly fitted garment... everything seemed new, amazing. Her talent was inspirational to me from a young age.”

Divya received her basic understanding of Fashion Design from the Malaysian Institute of Arts. She always wanted to further her studies at the fashion capital – Paris. “Yes. Paris calling,” she says. To make it a reality, she was learning French during her studies.
She completed a year's course in Stylisme Perfectionniste at fashion school ESMOD in Paris, France. During her stay there, she had the opportunity to work as an understudy with Printemps’ stylist Christop Thobus and she attended Valentino and Lanvin fashion shows during Paris Fashion Week. The turning point for Divya was when she decided to do a study on Chantal Thomas, legendary couturier and lingerie genius. “She inspired me to understand femininity and boudoir style which became my style in approaching lingerie design in later years,” explains Divya.

When she returned to Malaysia, Divya began as a lecturer at her alma mater before becoming a designer for Wacoal Manufacturers Tan Cong Apparels. She received training in pattern making and development for undergarments at the headquarters, in Kyoto. She worked at the company for more than 7 years, as Merchandising Executive and Designer/Pattern Maker.

Later, she joined Malaysian national lingerie brand Skiva as Manager cum Chief Designer. Within 6 months, she was promoted General Manager focusing on Product and Brand Development at Grand Bell Trading, producers of Malaysian brand Skiva. This experience led her to work closely with manufacturers in China and to travel frequently to Xiamen and other parts of China in relation to buying and manufacturing.
