It is rare in any field that upcoming talent is recognized and Gen Next is a wonderful and much-needed initiative by LFW to give budding designers an opportunity to showcase their work on this very promising platform. It is very encouraging for me to know that my work was appreciated and recognized by the esteemed panel of judges at LFW. Aki Narula is my mentor and I’m glad that someone whose work I respect and follow is mentoring me. He made some very insightful points about my collection and I’m looking forward to learning more from him.
Right now I’m just running from pillar to post to get things done, time seems like it is moving faster, days seem shorter and the traffic seems to get worse every time I need something done! I want my debut at LFW to be perfect and memorable and I don’t want to leave anything to chance so I’m paying close attention to detail.
My collection focuses on minimalist trends which are more useful and efficient and pays close attention to accidental design which is a major part of this androgynous theme. An ultra simplistic style will emerge focusing on hidden details and timeless silhouettes.
I am ecstatic about making it to Lakme Fashion Week, and it means a lot to me and to those who support me. Given that LFW is the premiere stage for fashion in India, I feel proud to be a part of it. My collection is aptly titled Pro•logue because this is my debut collection and I am looking forward to a lot more to come.
