About Me

Hi, I'm Dona

My initiation for the project began with the questions like why don’t we address each other as just humans? Why aren’t we Humans? Why do we have to put humans into boxes and label them?

Even though in scientific terms, we are considered biologically different, so is every human being, but that doesn’t have to change the cultural aspects. These questions made me conclude in creating a collection that is “Unisex”.

INSPIRATION

I’ve always been keen on making my projects with a personal touch by using my own photographs.

Therefore, my concept is derived from the architectural structure of City Palace, located in Jaipur, India, which reflects a mix of European and Mughal architectural style in fusion with the Victorian women who wore suits as a symbol of power and equality. The idea is to blend Indian architectural heritage and British tailoring into something more contemporary.

MY WORK

PORTFOLIOS

DETAIL

The main focus of the garments would be the construction details to give it a tailored finish.

While making a unisex collection, the thing that is to be considered as high importance is being inclusive, making sure the fit goes well with both men and women. The garments created are focused deeply on versatility and comfort.

“In my philosophy, the word androgyny doesn't have any meaning. I think there is no difference between men and women. We are different in body, but sense, spirit and soul are the same.”―Yohji Yamamoto
