    In the penultimate episode of season 1, I interview Akanksha Deo Sharma, the only Indian designer at IKEA. I don’t want to give too much away, but we had one of the most incredible conversations that covered the intersection between design, diversity, gender, and identity, and several other topics, making this one of my favorite episodes so far. I do hope you like this episode and urge you to check out Akanksha’s amazing new sustainable, and, genius collection called Forandring at IKEA If you enjoy our podcast, please take a moment to subscribe, rate, and review.

    7. Payal Khandwala | Fashion Designer
    Sep 2 2020
    In this episode, I interview Payal Khandwala, one of India’s leading fashion designers. She started her eponymous fashion label in 2012 when she couldn’t find the kind of clothes she wanted to wear. Although she never envisioned building an empire and creating a category of her own in the Indian fashion space, Payal has gone on to do that and more. Even though her clothes are now adorned by A-List Bollywood celebrities and are often featured in the news, for Payal it has never been about fame, money, or features. It is her love for creating clothes that empower that motivates and inspires her. She generously opened up about her journey, design philosophy, and why she does what she does in this incredible episode, which I hope you love as much as I do.
