Early in her career, one of her designs for the Miss India events caught the eye of the late Rohit Khosla, the only fashion designer back who known for his innovativeness. She was encouraged by his appreciation and has striven to keep up the spirit of innovation. She is best known for her theme collections - sheer trousers, crochet, stretch jersey, woolens and spider web motifs. Her forte remains western wear and she prides on the fact that her pieces can be worn separately. She believes in being true to her creativity and she has also opened a studio in Hauz Khas Village for Lycra.

Various International fashion magazines `Vogue` and `Elle` have featured her work. Her show in Singapore, which was attended by their President, was an astounding success. Though her strength lies in designing knits for Western wear. Now she has also started doing Indian garments in knit and other fabrics. Indian wear basics support her western wear creations. With Indian women beginning to work in the outside world and becoming more independent, there`s a market for both western and Indian clothing, party wear and office attire.

Rina Dhaka emphasizes silhouettes and in one collection she mixed fur and boots with her Indian outfits and always gives five or six looks in each collection. She is also impatient with the shapeless jackets and lenghas, which are worn at all weddings, hence she has brought back a lot of the fitted clothes, the churidhars which were done earlier, in the sixties.
