• Currently I am

  Enjoying the response to my first all-denim show and my first menswear show at Lakmé Fashion Week.

• On my playlist

  Nice To Each Other, by Olivia Dean. Dumb and End of the Road, by Noga Erez; and Roll It Up, by Pertinence, which played at my show.

• On my speed dial

  My husband, Rajesh Pratap Singh.

  Ghar ka khana.

• Next big splurge

  Travel gear for a trek.

  Biting my nails.

• If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…
