Harper’s Bazaar: You always dreamed big. From your times in the early ’90s in Delhi to your stints with Hermès, Moynat and now Joseph Duclos, please take us through your journey.
Ramesh Nair: “I think I always had it in me to create my own path instead of fitting into existing moulds. In Delhi I did not have an employer, but the market did have a set pattern that I did not find challenging and fulfilling enough. What better way to test my mettle than to go to the ultimate in the fashion world, Paris, where I can honestly say, I feel like I have fitted in and even contributed to the luxury and fashion landscape. As much as moving to Paris, my dream was to touch the ultimate in luxury and I was not content to settle for second best. This continues to be my approach even today.”
HB: You have worked with some of the best—Yohji Yamamoto, Christian Lacroix, Martin Margiela, Jean Paul Gaultier—how did you manage to secure your chance to work with them?
