“I would never feel like myself in a sari. I'd put on and think, how am I going to make this look cool?'

Since the dawn of fashion as we know it, India has been an abundant fountain of inspiration for designers, filmmakers and artists. Perhaps it’s the vivid colours and spices, the tantric spirituality of its philosophy, the sensual drape of the sari. Or, more likely, it’s the colonial mentality that has seen the subcontinent plundered as a subject of both fascination and fear.

That skeletal approach also applies to the way she constructs her clothes. Seams are kept unfussy, stitching invisible on sheer garments, so that what’s left is a trace of the intricate pattern-cutting that outlines the body. “We kind of talked about it right at the beginning, we wanted to keep all the fine details and sheers really beautiful like with the binding suddenly turns into a long, thin strap,” she explains.
