Q. What is your new collection, Sunshine, Freedom and a Little flower, about?
A. This collection is in collaboration with a friend, Vineeta Nair, who is also an artiste and an art blogger. The collection uses floral prints, which is an essential aspect of summer fused with a vintage look. For example, one of the dresses uses rose print along with square shape blocks as its background. The idea of the blocks is inspired by square-shaped windows which were a prominent feature of ancient Indian temples. Another one uses guns with a floral print along with it. Here, I have tried to fuse a vintage gun with floral prints. An alternative explanation could be a masculine symbol of a gun used alongside florals which is considered feminine.
