Somedays, I sit back and reflect on everything I’ve created so far — the textiles, the garments, the little worlds I’ve slowly built through fabric, colour, texture and memory. As I continue drawing and developing new textile designs, I constantly find myself revisiting my older work, trying to understand the threads that have always connected me to it. I think I’m still in the process of discovering my true direction as a designer, but perhaps that search itself is becoming a part of the work.
Lately, I’ve been deeply inspired by Jaipur — its faded architecture, old havelis, hand-painted walls, carved windows, gardens, courtyards, and the quiet romance that exists within the city. At the same time, I find myself endlessly drawn to the world of Tolkien — the feeling of forgotten kingdoms, forests, folklore, softness, mystery and something almost dreamlike and eternal. I love the idea of combining these worlds together: creating textiles that feel fairy-like and poetic, while still carrying the richness of Jaipur, Mughal details, Indian craftsmanship and subtle colonial influences.
I think I’m searching for a language that feels nostalgic yet imaginary at the same time — something rooted in history, but not entirely belonging to any one era. A world where Indian textiles can feel cinematic, romantic and almost mythical, while still remaining deeply personal and handmade.
