“People think of fashion as something which constantly defies tradition. Tradition is extremely vital to hold on to. If we don’t know where we have come from, how will we decide where we are going? We do not take anything for granted. As a result of which we are constantly innovating regardless of whether our competitors are doing so or not.”
