The impressionism of Paris pushed her creativity to greater heights, but for designer Yadvi Agarwal of Yavi, this is just the beginning. From being a debutant at the Lakme Fashion Week 2018 to dressing up British fashion critic Suzy Menkes, she champions the slow process and wants to enhance her design sensibilities along with the urge to embrace green fashion, one step at a time.

How did the journey of fashion designing begin for you?

Since an early age all things creative have had a special place in my heart. Growing up around textiles and making decisions of decor, curtains and fabrics for my clothes at an early age kept me pleasantly engaged in all things textile. As I dwelled further into the realm of design I realised it was indeed my true calling.

I have worked with labels like Péro, where I developed their beadwork language and Eka, that gave me hands on experience with the design process and an insight into the fashion industry. However all my creative needs were still not satisfied and the urge to having my own label kept coaxing me to take a step.
