“In my family, several

generation­s lost everything and had to start over many times. So my mother ingrained in us not to create or consume wastefully. Today, I’m continuing her idea that to be truly timeless an item has to be beautiful, wearable and well-crafted. My style is based on the philosophy of couture and

the female perspectiv­e on design that I absorbed while growing up in my mother’s atelier. I learnt

so much from her in terms of pattern-making, cutting, sewing, draping and so on. But beyond that, I assimilate­d lots of aspects that can never be taught technicall­y, and

which she gained through her years of designing for women.”
