What material do you most like to work with? Nothing in particular. Everything is beautiful once you know how to play with it. I would like to work with the materials thatI canrecycle and upcycle. Which items are your personal favorite and who would you like to see wearing them? Who is your dream client to dress? Every piece is my favourite, but to pick one it has to be Mesh 3d Wire Top look inspired by the fishing handmade materials that is used in Nepal. I would love to see Meredith Monk wearing it and performing Lullaby vs. Night. That would be a dream. Who would you like to collaborate with from within the visual arts and fashion spheres if any? There are so many international creatives I would like to collaborate with. Currently I am collaborating with the Director/3D engineer Hyunsu Jeon aka PPICCU. We did a short video together so I would love to do few more and there’s a concept between us that is brainstorming/brewing at the moment. I love Ekhaus Latta’s work too. I’ve been following them since the beginning☺ What’s your next collection to be like? Good question-definitely an on-going process of my design aesthetic. I’m currently looking at lots of knitwear techniques. I had a very little interest in the knitwear until I saw the process of it in south London factory that I visited. It is so fascinating how they are well made and intricate together. I’m currently in touch with knitwear team in Nepal. They are amazing-everything issourced locally from Himalayas and people are working and well paid. So let’s see☺

How do you plan to spend the rest of 2019? Lots of resting, binging with friends and family (binging The Crown). I would like to do some activities too because that’s how I started this year;so that maybe I could start a new tradition in that way. I will go bouldering somewhere in south during the Christmas week. That’s probably the best time if you want some quiet time because half of the Londoners will be away haha.
