Says Gayatri about her intense stress around sustainability in her designs and collections over the years, “Indeed co-existing in sync with nature is need-of-the-hour. During the pandemic days of lockdown, we all could resonate with nature’s beauty all around. Humans, fauna, and flora can exist harmoniously and mindfully. Be it sourcing, manufacturing, and designing, sustainability must be the core of every fashion collection.”
