SUSTAINABLE COUTURIER
“LUXURY, FOR ME, means being close to nature and experiencing it in its raw form. One of my most luxurious trips has been a vacation at Soneva Fushi, Maldives (soneva.com). I went there for two to three days with my friends. Throughout my stay at the property, I moved about barefoot. There was stunning white sand all around and bright coral reefs under water, which I discovered while snorkelling. Soneva Fushi is a sustainable resort, where they recycle everything from door knobs, glass bottles, to wood and resin-they make construction out of waste. The time spent at the property was magical. I stayed up at night to gaze at clear, star-filled skies and woke up early to see the sun rise. I took inspiration from the landscape, underwater foliage, and skies for one of my Paris Haute Couture Week collections. Another vacation that left a huge impact on me was my trip to Santorini, Greece, with my wife Divya and daughter Aarna. We had booked a beautiful Airbnb home at Imerovigli. We explored the beautiful island on foot. We would stop at corner stores to shop, halt at scenic spots to soak in the beauty, and speak to locals. I feel that the best way to explore any place is to live like a local there. I also used the inspiration from the trip to design my Shape of Air collection, which I showcased at the Paris Haute Couture Week in 2021."
