ABOUT DIVA

The woman behind the drape.

Sapana Waikar, founder and lead stylist of DIVA

Sapana Waikar believes that the saree should never wear you. You should wear it.

Sapana Waikar is an accomplished fashion stylist, drape expert, and image consultant. She has created a distinctive style that combines aspects of modern language with strong ties to India's heritage.

She is a Detroit-based fashion stylist and draping artist. While her instinct guides her styling choices, her formal education is what brings those visions to life. Sapana holds a Master's degree in Fashion Art & Direction from Academy of Art University San Francisco, where she bridged the gap between raw artistic expression and the technical mechanics of a perfectly structured look. She is also a certified Image Consultant from IICI Delhi, India.

As a professional stylist, Sapana turns ideas into visually appealing identities. Fashion is more than clothing; it is storytelling for her. She blends contemporary styles with classic personal expression, whether it's working on a commercial shoot set, perfecting a bridal drape, or refining a private client's everyday wardrobe. Come, let's create your signature look!

Because the smallest fold

changes everything.

The drapes.

Every drape tells a story. Explore timeless traditions and modern expressions of the saree.

I finally got professional saree draping done for the very first time, and Sapana made it an experience to remember. She planned the whole look with me, listened to what I wanted, kept my comfort in mind, and added her magic touch to elevate it beautifully. Her attention to detail is unreal—every pleat, pin, and strand of hair was styled with such care. I’m usually not very comfortable posing, but she made me feel so at ease that even the pictures looked natural and effortless. I walked out feeling confident, elegant, and truly cared for. Thank you, Sapana!
