PERSONAL STATEMENT

FASHION, STYLE, DESIGNING.....

All these words have always been a stimulus for me, just by listening to these words my mind starts

working. Since my school days I was interested in designing and was keen to know how to put through

my ideas and creativity in a manner so that others can perceive it. As, designing can be monumental

when we try to visualise the entire thing, but if we break it down into smaller goals suddenly it can

become manageable. Therefore, I chose to study fashion designing for my graduation so it could help

me gain knowledge about the field as I was interested in it since my teenage and have a successful

career in designing.

My portfolio comprises of colour work, sketches and my collection on garments. The bags are inspired

from ‘Qutub Minar’ a historical monument in Delhi and the shoes are inspired from traditional

embroidery called ‘Chikankari’. My first collection named EXPRESSIONS OF NDEBELE was

inspired from a South African tribe and the garment was exhibited in IIGF, it was a short embroidered

dress. My other collection name MYRIAD OF COLORS was inspired from Indian festival Holi from

which I designed an evening wear gown and a statement piece showing different colours of the festival.

My third collection was inspired from blue painted ceramic tiles used in mosques named AZRAK AZ-

ZULAYJ meaning blue pained stone. In this collection I designed embroidered traditional wear for

both male and female. I like to play with colours, textures and patterns in my garments. I have even

tried to show some of my research projects by putting few slides from the projects in my portfolio.
