'I love breaking patterns in fashion'
India, Dec. 9 -- Quotes
I've always dressed up for myself more than anything else. Trends don't excite me as much as dressing up for myself does. When I step out, I ask myself, what character do I want to be. Luckily, I get to do that for a living as well. When I dress up, I have to be happy and confident.
It's been a journey and I'm at a place right now where I am having so much fun trying different things, and also developing my own style. You need to develop your own aesthetic and your own sense and that is something that I've learned from my mother.
I feel the prettiest, the most elegant and even the sexiest in Indian wear, especially sarees. There is so much history, sensuality, comfort and grace in wearing a sari that everybody looks beautiful in it. And you can also add a fusion element to it, which can make it edgy as well.
I thoroughly enjoy making traditional outfits edgy and making them contemporary, but without compromising on the traditional authenticity. Indian fashion has taken such a global stage, and it's nice to see how versatile it can also be. I enjoy breaking the pattern in those terms.
My Aai has the most beautiful collection of sarees and not just my mother, but I've grown up seeing these beautiful saris worn by all the women in my family, which they've collected over the years. So, I have to look nowhere but in their closet for inspiration when I want to dress up. I personally love wearing Banarasi sarees. It's something that is very classic, that will never go out of style.
