1. An everyday style that would suit almost anyone.
Easy breezy tunics worn with palazzos or shorts. One can always throw on a jacket or cover up with a pair of jeans.
2. Your advice to aspiring fashion students.
Don’t be in a rush to launch a label. Get sufficient work experience; understand the aesthetics and the intricacy of the industry. Only launch your line, when you are ready.
3. What is your favorite part of your life as a designer?
To create new things every season.
4. Your fondest memory at Aza.
When Alka Nishar personally looked into an order that was not processed for more than a month. She took the matter in her own hands, by following up on it, making that phone call and messaged me at the end of it, to let me know that everything was taken care of. This is a classic example of responsibility in an organization.
5. One thing you look forward to at fashion week.
Catching up with people you meet twice a year at fashion week.
6. How would you describe your personal style?
Sporty chic. Shorts, jeans and running shoes are bare essentials that I just can’t get enough of.

Battery pack, pen, travel make up kit, lip balm and credit cards.

I love to dance and like to play the DJ at parties.

Running and trekking are always first on the list.

A pair of Valentino Noir shoes.
