I agree the SS 2014 collection from my own line comprising knee pads and polka dots didn't feel too good but I'm proud of the fact that it was original.

There were boys in my class who would stick pencils in my curls, and say 'oh it's like a cushion' and laugh at me. Even my body type was very different from the other girls in my school. So I grew up thinking that I don't look good enough.

Fabrics such as raw silk, velvet, shimmer, satin and georgette work well for the wedding season.

Very little thought goes into making this stuff I make. It is on impulse. I think of colors all day and suddenly if I think of ice blue, I wonder if red or yellow will go with it.

Normcore doesn't equal wearing the first pair of jeans and T-shirt from your wardrobe. Behind dressing easy, lies a precise selection.

If someone would tease me about my hair, I would laugh... if someone called me black, I would laugh. I just took things in my stride. I was never made a victim.

As with any outfit, the primary elements of normcore are fit, color, and texture, all of which must match both normcore's loose silhouette, and at the same time, suit your body. Above all else, it's about comfort. So if it doesn't look effortless and easy, it's not normcore.

Know your worth and please don't invest in toxic people or relationships, because any bond that requires servicing is not worth your time.

I used to have a Milton steel water bottle that I would wield like a hammer, almost! My answer to all my bullies was to take out my bottle and hit them.

Anxiety is a trap; it's not a trend to be followed. It's not supposed to be cool, it's meant to be fixed.

We are now welcoming a world where fashion is not bogged down by binary gender norms. The trend is moving beyond symbolizing its wearers' identity or gender. It's now being accepted by the mainstream as more of a look, both on the catwalk and the high street.

Combine leather pants or leggings with an oversized sweater or turtleneck and sneakers for a super-chic look. However, remember to keep the colors subtle.

My job as a designer is done when my clothes inspire freedom in Muslim women to adopt fashion the way they desire.

Once upon a time, fashion was complex, and ostentatious was considered better.

Everyone has a perception if you are divorced. I got so busy with work that I didn't even have the time to realize what was happening in my personal life. I had my own way of dealing with it.
