My love of fashion helped me feel closer to my culture, and prouder of my Indian heritage

  • I went on a trip to Mumbai, India, earlier this year.
  • I learned more about India's rich history in textiles and art.

Earlier this year, I went to Mumbai, India. I've been traveling to India annually to visit family since I can remember, and as I got older, began to visit my best friend from college.

As a fashion writer, I've concentrated mainly on the luxury market and on my trip, learned of India's contribution to it.

I'm British South Asian, so though my heritage is Indian, I was born and brought up in the UK. I always struggled with finding ways to bridge the gap between these two cultures.

This was my first time visiting India since starting my writing career, and in the spirit of finding inspiration, I planned to see as many culturally stimulating places as possible. Luckily, there's creativity to be found on every corner.
