A Glimpse of My Work
The pieces I'm proudest of: bridal couture shown at Lakmé Fashion Week, print-led saris for Satya Paul, and surface- ornamentation work for Reliance Brands and my own label. Each one blends Indian craft with a contemporary eye, carried from the first sketch all the way to the runway.
