About Me
I’m a final year fashion design student at NTU
I was brought up in India, I moved to NTU as a final year transfer student, I always take it upon myself to visualise beauty or to construct it, as and when I can, whenever I can.
In spite of living in a constricted environment, almost all my life, I never let my surroundings alter my passions - whether it was doodling dresses during lectures or gushing after fashion magazines, I never let go of fashion.
INSPIRATION
Shards of Toxicity
For my concept I’ve chosen to focus on the toxic beauty traits and standards that were commonly placed upon women in the early renaissance - how they were meant to wear what would pertain to the male gaze and how extreme it was.
Similarly I’ve tried to find the faults in the fashion standards of the society we live in, pertaining to women and basically what they have to go through while putting together an outfit. Through my concept I’ve tried to create something that does not cater to the beauty and fashion standards of today’s society and something that empowers women beyond the societal norms or their body types  and insecurities and is a celebration of different bodies.
MY WORK
PORTFOLIOS
DETAIL
An empowered tale of appreciating the unappreciated, through my eyes..
I have always lived and surrounded myself with women, I have grown up around them and I’ve seen them go through these things in terms of “ideality”, and I have seen them struggle. Women are the only space I’ve felt acceptable. I want to create something that does not pertain to the beauty and fashion standards of today’s society and something that empowers women beyond the societal norms or their body types  and insecurities and is a celebration of different bodies. I’ve done in depth research on different kinds of artists and sculptors like Michelangelo, Raja Ravi Verma, who did not follow the typical beauty standards in their era and created amazing works of art. Taking inspiration from their artwork I’ve created my silhouettes and colour palettes. I’ve also taken inspiration from my mother’s saari(Indian traditional garment)
