I’m Eva Red, the creative mind behind Chandra V. My passion for fashion began at six when I dreamed of becoming a designer. Though my father didn’t support it, I rediscovered that passion two years ago, creating designs that blend elegance, class, and ease.
Chandra V is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to my heritage. Named after my birth name, Chandra Vakia, it honors my mother’s quiet elegance and my father’s bold extravagance. Their contrasting styles shaped my approach to fashion, balancing simplicity with statement-making design.
Fashion has always been part of my journey. I grew up on stage as a model, singer, and dancer, where I learned the power of presence, movement, and self-expression. Modeling taught me how clothes shape confidence, while dancing and singing revealed how fabric and rhythm work together. These experiences influence how I design—not just for appearance but for how a garment makes you feel.
I am a self-taught designer, guided by intuition and experience rather than formal training. To me, fashion is about personal empowerment. Each piece I create is meant to celebrate individuality and make every woman feel strong, elegant, and unapologetically herself.
Chandra V is a reflection of my belief that fashion should not just follow trends but tell a story. It’s about confidence, beauty, and embracing who you are.
Sincere,
Eva Chandra Red
