Q. Everyone has a story behind! What was yours? What sparked your interest in costume designing?
After studying fashion from NIFT Delhi, we decided to follow our own sense of design and fashion, which led us to launch our label, WALNUT. With seasons after seasons at Lakhme Fashion Week and Wills India (Amazon now) fashion week, we wanted to explore more ways of jutting out our creativity. We love films, so costume designing was the next step. It gives an opportunity like none other to keep exploring, experimenting from one film to another.
