Q. You showcased a collection called Ode to Indigo. What made you choose this particular colour?
A. It’s quite amazing how indigo is such a universally-loved colour. I guess that has always been at the back of my mind. I’ve also been travelling in the hills for the summer months and that was where I spotted so many layers to this hue. For instance, the mountains have misty shades of blue and then there are some green indigos as well. That was when I decided that my next collection will be based on these beautiful shades. Also, indigo is a very calm and peaceful colour and generates a feeling of tranquility and quietude when you look at it. My process of designing the collection began as early as May and June. I take at least three months to develop the fabric as we do our own printing, weaving and embroidery.
