DESIGNER

Since childhood, I have been intrigued by the world of fashion, and this passion has continued to grow over time. My name is Ramila Nemkul, and I am an entrepreneur and fashion designer. I earned a Bachelor's degree in International Business from Central University Finland in 2011, followed by a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship from Aalto University in Finland in 2015. Additionally, I received a Master's degree in Fashion Design from AAFT in India in 2018.

BRAND

KASA is a fashion brand based in Kathmandu that is highly regarded for its environmentally conscious approach to the fashion industry. The brand has organized two major sustainable fashion events in the Mount Everest region, making it a preferred choice among customers. KASA has been recognized by the Guinness World Records brand marketing case study and is listed among the 160 conglomerates in the world. In addition, KASA arranged the first international fashion show in Nepal at the world heritage site in Patan Durbar Museum on August 30th, 2019. The brand also conducted the Kathmandu Fashion Gala at a heritage site in Baber Mahal on November 26th, 2022.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 

Recognizing the fashion industry's significant contribution to pollution, KASA introduced its sustainable fashion line. On January 26th, 2020, KASA launched this line at Kala Patthar, located near the Mt. Everest base camp. The designer and CEO of KASA received a certificate from the Guinness World Records for organizing the highest fashion show on land, a feat that was repeated in September 2021.

VISION AND MISSION

The fashion industry is expanding rapidly, and people are increasingly interested in purchasing and wearing new clothing designs. However, the use of non-biodegradable fabrics and waste generated by non-degradable clothing contributes significantly to pollution. KASA aims to raise awareness about eco-friendly fabrics like felt and pashmina, which are biodegradable and sustainable, and can be used to produce clothing in an environmentally conscious manner. This fall/winter season of 2023/24, modern and fashionable clothing made from sustainable fabrics is the way forward.
