“Growing up, I spent hours rummaging through my mother and grand-mothers’ jewelry cupboards. Their taste was simply exquisite. Maybe this is why I feel disappointed. Where has all the art gone? Perhaps it was this question that pushed me to find the answer.”

“I grew up in Calcutta. It was almost frightening; this city does that to you. Calcutta injects a sense of aesthetic into your soul, and things that are seen as unique in other cities are a way of life here. There is an unspoken pressure. Subconsciously, this way of life has shaped my design identity.

I’ m very fond of jewelry, maybe a tad sentimentally so. Growing up, I spent hours rummaging through my mother and grand-mothers’ jewelry cupboards. Their taste was simply exquisite.

Perhaps, this is why I feel disappointed.

When women wear my clothes, I invariably expect them to pair it with that kind of jewelry. But, I don’t find it here anymore.

Where has all the art gone?

Perhaps it was this question that pushed me to find the answer.”
