To help you discover the ideal outfit for your special occasion, Varaa had an exclusive conversation with ace fashion designer Archana Kochhar. We had a wonderful chat with this amazing human, and the insights were truly worth it. Here are some questions that we posed to her about designing bridal outfits.
What inspired you to become a fashion designer?
Sleeping every night after planning my outfit for the next day and spending hours putting together that perfect look in the morning is something I've loved to do since I was a teenager. For me, a perfect outfit could put me in a better mood! I had my first trunk show at the age of 18 along with 4 other friends of mine. I created garments that incorporated the fusion look, and they were loved by every attendee. This gave me the courage to adapt my love for clothes into my profession.
How do your designs reflect contemporary culture and trends?
When I need inspiration to create a piece, I look back at my cultural roots: India's traditional and religious philosophy is so rich that it finds a place in all art, be it literature or fashion. For a wedding, I usually use red shades because it symbolizes fertility and reinforces the deity of Goddess Lakshmi.
