That one statement
“I have to go with two! A floral Sabyasachi georgette sari from 15 years ago—its soft pastel print and delicate sequin border still feel effortlessly right for a daytime wedding. And then there’s my grandmother’s Patola, a striking weave in mustard, purple, and red. I’m endlessly drawn to its unexpected colour harmony and heirloom appeal.”
Styling hacks
“Rewearing and repurposing are my go-to styling hacks—combining something vintage with something new instantly makes a look more personal. Corsets are having a moment, and styling one with a sari adds such a fresh, contemporary twist. I also believe less is more with Indian wear. A simple silk sari can come alive with the right belt, statement jewels, or an unexpected blouse. I'm especially inspired by the new wave of designers like Re Ceremonial, Anushka Khanna, Arpita Mehta, Kshitij, Ekaya, and Torani—they bring such thoughtful modernity to tradition.”
