How did you get started in the fashion business? What was your source of inspiration?
I am from a small city, where I grew up watching elements of glamour on television. My favourite used to be the award nights. Years later, I came to Delhi to pursue my dream career in fashion. Colours inspire me and are an integral part of my collection.
How important are hair and make-up in fashion?
Hair and make-up are accessories of fashion. Through collaborative and creative processes, designers, hairstylists and make-up artists work together as a team to create inspiring looks for the forthcoming seasons. I think make-up artists lend their own creative touches to fashion and characterise the collection.
