About
I’m a recent Central Saint Martins MA fashion graduate. My work involves collaborating with artisan, art, and research communities across India, London, and Germany to investigate how to bring traditional crafts and textiles into a modern fashion context. I mix ancient textiles with future science and create womenswear fashion inspired by the local attire of my native.
The collection responds to industry's current conversation that "the future is in going local"–while confronting a drastic change I witnessed in my own local culture, fading at an alarming rate under the guise of "growth". Using the local flower's life cycle–once sacred, now a weed–as a metaphor for culture, pairing local traditions with future science to show how tradition and innovation must coexist for the future to be truly local.
