While Teresa Liasom and Utsav Pradhan are complete opposites in terms of personality, when it comes to their quirkily named label, munkee.see.munkee.doo, they seem to have settled on a happy compromise.
What drew you to fashion design?
TL: I was always into fashion as far as I can remember. I recollect buying second hand fashion magazines and picking out styles to get them tailored to my size since the region I come from (Imphal, Manipur) wasn’t all that developed fashion-wise or otherwise. My family, like a lot of Indian families, could not imagine a career could ever come from it. So, I was sent to a law school in Pune. After three months, I quit the school and headed to New Delhi to pursue fashion studies at Pearl Academy of Fashion.
UP: From an early age, every time I bought new clothes, I had to get them altered to my liking. I had this weird obsession with fit. I guess that’s what triggered the process of me getting into fashion. Honestly, I had no idea there was a career option such as a fashion designer until my career counseling program in the 9th grade back in Gangtok, Sikkim. Straight after my 12th grade, like a lot of other kids, I gave it a shot, not really knowing fully what I was getting into. Fortunately, I loved studying fashion design at the Pearl Academy of Fashion, New Delhi.
