Couture Mantra is about to hit the Fashion Aid Runway in Sept. Can you tell us a bit about the collection and what we can expect?

I am so excited to be apart of this grand event. I will be displaying my Moonlight collection. This collection consists of traditional Indian garments with a modern perspective. Please expect to see voluptuous skirts, gotta and thread work tied in together with intricate cuts and silks.

What is your favourite piece from the collection?

It’s hard to select which is my favourite as each design tells a different story. I will let the audience decide which is there favourite piece.

Who has been your biggest role model / mentor?

My biggest inspiration has been my Mother. She works very hard and goes above and beyond with supporting me. Sabyasachi Mukherjee is definitely one of my role models. He creates timeless garments which consist of luxurious fabrics, decorative embellishments and detailing. I also adore Satya Paul’s signature prints.

What inspired you for this collection?

My vision for this collection is to create a modern day version of Indian royalty. By combining vintage embroideries, rich fabrics with a modern day touch.

Favourite place you have travelled to?

I was memorised by the architecture and artwork in Rajasthan. I hope to incorporate their culture in my next collection.

Do you have a Mantra that you live by?

My mantra is to think outside the box and keep rejuvenating yourself.

Couture Mantra will be hitting the runway at this year’s Fashion+Aid on Sept 10th. It will be a runway not to be missed.
