glasses guy roles
I came from Bill Blass, where it was a well-oiled machine and if I said I needed a fabric, it was done. Now, I have to budget everything. I have to take on the role not just as a designer but a business. But Im a glass half-full kind of guy.
next aspire
Always aspire to become the next you, not someone else
beautiful clothes want
I want to make clothes that make women feel beautiful.
growth racing important
I am not the kind of designer who is racing to the finish line, so while collaborations are important for our growth, each and every one has to be strategic and well-timed with what we have going on internally.
beautiful thinking littles
I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her!
dream kids ideas
I was in Nepal and I had watched Oprah Winfrey's show. I had no idea, as a kid in Nepal, who she was, but I remember watching an episode of hers about living your dreams.

I would tell any aspiring designer to take the time to experience everything they can to really get a feel for what direction they want to go in. And most importantly, let your passion and your gut lead you.
wanted
I wanted to do something not just commercial but also covetable,
clothes goal trying
My goal is: I'm not trying to be snobby, but my clothes are not for everyone, not for every Hollywood celebrity. There is a designer for everyone, and a celebrity for every designer.
powerful red lips
I love a red lip - it's such a powerful statement. It exudes confidence and makes for a bold look.
updates wonder tweet
I tweet myself and do all the Facebook updates. It started off with me wondering whether I was showing off and I was very careful about what I wrote.
design trying want
I'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.
wise fun crazy
Because you have very limited time and you have to be very judicious and wise about how you spend it. But otherwise, I've always been - ever since I was a kid, I've always been coming up with ideas. So I'm able to come up with crazy ideas twice for two collections! It's fun.
actors bollywood wonderful
Deepika is one of my absolute favourite Bollywood actors. It is wonderful to have someone of her stature wearing my brand
