This year’s theme resonates deeply with my design philosophy, allowing me to explore the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship while pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion.”
She further elaborated on how the theme has inspired her to bring her culture and roots to an international platform, saying, “The theme has provided a perfect canvas to blend traditional elements with modern aesthetics, creating pieces that are not only visually stunning but also tell a profound story. The anticipation of seeing my creations come to life on the red carpet is immense. This theme has inspired me to delve into the cultural depths of our artisanal techniques, infusing them with a fresh, avant-garde twist. It’s a celebration of art, culture, and innovation, and I can’t wait for the world to witness the beauty and elegance of my designs at Cannes. The journey of bringing this vision to life has been exhilarating, and I’m excited to share this passion and creativity with everyone.”
