Himani Naidu, Glitter and Glow
From community work, acting, drama, fashion, photography, styling and designing clothes, Himani Naidu has tried it all. “I believe if you have a choice in life then do what you always dreamed of,” says the IT graduate turned designer and entrepreneur. “Today I am actively involved in my family business Sierra Homes and have my company Glitter and Glow,” says Himani.
Originally from Nepal, Himani migrated to Australia 25 years ago with her family. “I also run a non-profit to help and support disadvantage children in Nepal,” says Himani.
But Himani admits that design is her biggest passion. “Growing up in Australia helps you understand so many different cultures and the inspiration for my clothes comes both from my roots and the land I spent the last 25 years in,” says the designer.
Through Glitter and Glow Himani has designed for the Miss Australia Heritage and Miss Australia Heritage International, which took place in Chandigarh, India, this December. “And now, I am looking forward to being part of the South Asian Bridal Show and representing the Nepalese Bride,” she says.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
