What is this fashion crisis that you speak of?
The big problem with Indian fashion right now is that suddenly it has become very young.
Whether it's people working in fashion magazines or as Bollywood stylists, they have very little life experience.
This is bastardising fashion.
Today when I look at designers like Rohit Khosla, Suneet Varma, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani and Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla, their body of work is huge and amazing.
Whether it looks dated now or not, it is a body of work that is their very own.
It was not influenced or affected by anyone.
They were so fierce in their design.
But right now, Indian design looks a little corrupted and too instant.
What's the one underlying difference between this woman and the Sabyasachi woman?
A Sabyasachi woman believes in consistency and repetition.
Look at Rekha; she wears stunning Kanchipurams all the time, so much so that when you think of Kanchipurams you only think of Rekha. I think that is iconism.
Whether it's Chanel black and white or the personal styles of Audrey Hepburn, Frida Kahlo and Jackie Kennedy, all of them lived through consistency and repetition.

Trendy is young, it's boring, frivolous and fragile.
Trendy is high-maintenance.
You would want someone trendy as a onetime lover, not a lifetime partner.
So is success in India treating you well?
Success is a very painful and very lonely road.
Because you can only be super successful if you listen to nobody but yourself.
And then people write you off, or say hurtful things about you.
Sometimes people understand, most of the times they don't.
We live in curated times. In this scenario, what leg does personal style and individualism stand on?
You know I've always felt that style is about a woman who is 5ft1in and wears flats to a fancy party.
There's a lot of dignity and grace in accepting who you are.
My lifetime muse is Frida Kahlo.
She was phenomenally dynamic because she embraced who she was.
She walked with a limp, unapologetic about her beauty, her illness, her uni-brow, everything.
When I see a woman too obsessed with fashion I know she is a girl in trouble.

One celebrity you are itching to style
Madonna
Why Madonna and how would you style her?
Because I think she is so eclectic. And she has a very strong sense of fashion so to be able to challenge here mind would be a challenge in itself. Everybody has styled her in so much western clothes that I would try to make her into this mad eclectic Maharani. Almost like somebody who is a little tipsy and drunk and wears a lot of clothes from here and there.
Who do you prefer to showcase the show stopper? A Celebrity or Model?

A model. Because a model’s job is to show clothes. While sometimes celebs take attention away from the clothes on to themselves. A celeb is not trained to walk a ramp. I feel somehow the seriousness of fashion is taken away when a celeb walks for a designer.

Maybe because i am a new student of Fashion and i have no big knowledge about many other famous designers. But the art of this man catches my heart. There is a large possibility that in the future i will start to appreciate the work of many other designers, it is just a matter of time and experience... After knowing about the works of designers, now i know already that life is not going to be that easy as i expected at first.
