One can never go wrong with a saree
Abstract The initial project focus intended to break down cultural barriers through the designing of fashion, inspired by both Indian and Western culture. However, whilst the concept of cultural fusion remained, the project began to shift as research led to an awareness and interest in the need for sustainable fashion. This project examines zero-waste pattern-making techniques along with the recycling and repurposing of used Indian saree cloth. Recycling practices are not a new trend in Indian culture, and zero-waste practices are embedded in the history of garment making. Such practices could be seen through the draping of the saree.

My Creative Refuge. Top Story - June 2021.
Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a fashion designer. My Mom always says I had my own mind about clothes even before I could speak. When I was a toddler, my Mom and I were passing by a clothing shop and I kept reaching towards the window at this peach velour outfit. She took me into the shop and I was almost possessed by this outfit. She tried to get me to like the navy version instead but I was sure I wanted the peach. Throughout my childhood and teenage years I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer in a big city and having my own brand. After years of dreaming, I ended up getting into Parsons in New York City to study Fashion Design. I was enamoured with the fashion world and New York. While I was there I did countless internships for brands and magazines, school was fun and creative but by the end of my four years I felt a little bit burned out. I decided to move to London to try something new.
