“The Five Stages of Grief” – The Landmark Collection.

F/W 2012
Arts and Fashion Week [FAT]
April 26, 2012.

Solemn models paraded with downcast expressions and distorted, bloodied limbs, draped in luxurious Indian fabrics and faux animal skins.

“The 5 Stages of Grief” reflects my personal journey through a year of profound loss and unexpected change. It is an exploration of self and transformation, inspired by the notion that great beauty can emerge from the most unlikely places. This collection is a testament to the idea that without darkness, there can be no light.

Fashion Internship
with Anju Modi

Assisted with the fashion showcase “Artisan Speak” at the Red Fort in Delhi, India,
organized by the Ministry of Textiles and Government of India in January 2019.

Mentorship with
Professor Henry Navarro and Toronto Metropolitan University 2014

Co-created the Femme Universalis collection with Henry Navarro—a conceptual women’s wear line that explores femininity through a contemporary lens. Each piece interprets ancestral and universal feminine forces, reimagined for today’s urban lifestyle. This concept is reflected in the design process, which favors curves over straight lines and uses natural fabrics in whites and light earth tones. The resulting silhouettes, inspired by ancient fertility symbols, highlight the subtle yet powerful essence of the female form. The collection is showcased on curvaceous, ethnically diverse models, enhancing its representation on the runway.
