I AM a bit numb right now, and also full of gratitude. I first met Sir in 1999 when he visited SNDT, my college in Juhu, as a lecturer. He was so good with educating young minds that he even made a drab topic like history of costumes interesting.
After an internship at his atelier, I continued to freelance for him while I stayed in Mumbai. It was only a few months later that I decided to relocate to my hometown, Goa, and started working for him. In 2016, I was appointed as the creative director of his brand. It was a huge deal for me, and my absolute privilege.
It was barely two weeks ago when I spent an entire afternoon with him discussing a book on cutting on squares. He called it his passion project. I intend to complete it now.
