Tell us about your latest collection that you're showcasing and what went behind it?
Nothing special went behind it. I don't have one particular inspiration anymore I have multiple inspirations when it comes to creating new designs. This one though is very inspired by comfort and its a fresh take on the whole new world.
How do you keep reinventing yourself and your designs for them to still look and feel fresh?
I trust my gut and don't overthink. I believe that a brand or person has to keep moving to survive and try to and never repeat myself over and over. As a designer, I believe that you've to keep your finger on the pulse of what the consumers want. Since they are very communicative, listening to them will automatically help in reinventing.
A trend you're currently obsessed with?
I don't believe in trends...
A Bollywood muse you would love to see in your collection?
I wanted to dress Deepika and now maybe Tabu
Your thoughts on these trends:
a: Biker shorts - very cool if you have the legs for it
b. Corsets - inconvenient but very sexy
c. Bodysuits - should fit like a glove otherwise or never be worn
What according to you is the future of fashion?
This is something you can't predict. I can predict what consumers want. They're more conscious about the clothes they're investing in and the storytelling. The biggest change is that brands and fashion houses will become storytellers its not just not about one or two collections. Designs will become more detailed and intimate as opposed to what's already available in the market.
