Intro to Fashion is a reflective creative essay and visual project exploring how fashion acts as a powerful tool for self-expression, transformation, and cultural storytelling. This piece combines personal narrative, historical context, and design philosophy to ask: What changes first when we decide to change ourselves?

Through references to icons like Diana Vreeland, Vivienne Tam, and Virgil Abloh, this work maps fashion’s evolution from haute couture exclusivity to a democratized and deeply personal language. It also highlights my own multicultural background—growing up between the U.S. and India—and how that duality shapes my design sensibility.

This project showcases my emerging voice as a fashion thinker and creative, one grounded in imagination, originality, and the ambition to craft garments that don’t just dress people, but tell stories
