“As a designer, it is important to understand to create your own space and own it. Don’t go after another designer’s forte, you will lose. It’s crowded,” Masaba tweeted on Sunday.

Young designer Masaba Gupta, known for her quirky, colourful and contemporary take, says aspiring designers should concentrate on creating their own niche. “As a designer, it is important to understand to create your own space and own it.
