Introduction
Romyda Keth was originally born on 1966 in Phnom Penh (the capital of Cambodia).

She is known for designing traditional Khmer outfits used for weddings, parties, etc. Although her dresses are traditional she adds a bit of a modern twist to it.

While she was in Cambodia "Macy's" had reached out to her so that she can display her designs in the store. However, the store was located in Paris, France.

That's when more designers started to reach out to her and soon after in 1999 she opened up her own boutique in the "heart" of Cambodia.

Education
When Romyda Keth was just five years old when she left Cambodia with her family. She went to Paris School of Fine Arts for many years.

She then enrolled in Esmod School of Fashion Desgin. Which was also located in Paris. She didn't go to traditional school because during her years in Cambodia her

parents couldn't afford for her to go to school. It was also common for young children at the time to not go to school. They just worked in the rice fields or stayed home

and cook for their parents while they were at work.

Work
The first few years around 1994 were shaky for Romyda because she as trying to figure out how to use Cambodian silk. She described it as difficult but

delicate. She was able to find a little shed by her house so she can kay out her sketches. She spent hours trying to design the perfect Khmer dress. A few years after in

1999 she opened up her first boutiques called "Ambre". It was located in the heart of Cambodia by an old colonial mansion. She wanted her first boutique to be where it

all started. To introduce her collections she redesigned her whole interior of her boutique so it can attract more people. A few years after she then opened up two more

boutiques. One in Raffles Hotel le Royal and Grand Hotel d'Angkor. In the early 2000's another designer from Paris reached out to her so she can start her wedding

line. Her work is known as very feminine with shades that catch the eye. The fit hugs the body perfectly. Made with very high quality silk.
