Get to know... Payal Pratap
Designer Payal Pratap (@PayalPratap) is listening to Olivia Dean, craving home food, and wishing she could travel back in time to the ’70s
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.
Today I’m craving
Ghar ka khana.
Next big splurge
Travel gear for a trek.
Last thing I ordered online
Organic vegetables.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self
Don’t take life so seriously. It goes by in the blink of an eye.
A secret skill I have
I can cook when I want to cook.
A superpower/magic tool I wish I had
The ability to bring peace.
My favourite Sunday memory while growing up
Dosa lunches with the whole family.
My favourite bad habit
Biting my nails.
If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…
Go back rather than forward, as that would be better in today’s environment of conflict. The ’70s was surrounded with love.
A trait I despise in people
Lying is the worst.
I won’t leave the house without…
Smooching my doggies.
The best thing about fame
You get to be responsible and have authority in your field.

The pressure to continually outdo yourself.
