You are returning to showcase in Mumbai after 10 years, how does it feel to be back in the city of dreams?
It’s amazing to be back in Mumbai. The city has a dynamism like no other place. The people are always nice and show a strong sense of work ethic. It reminds me a lot of New York, it is the same kind of go-getter energy that I absolutely love and admire.

Casa de Fiori is inspired by my travels to Italy. The name translates to House of Flowers. We are showing different floral prints, from begonias in sunset hues to vivid coral bouquets and moody dark florals too. It is a vivacious collection, ultra femme and elevated.
Your designs tell a tale of your travels and weave a story through your showcases, what should one look forward to at the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI showcase?
The show is immersive, we have designed it to take the viewers on a journey through Italy. We will have live music, which infuses a different kind of energy to the show, it will be interactive. We hope the audiences really enjoy the show and our designs.
