Welcome back to Season 2 of Amplify! Our very first episode this season is with the brilliant, funny and minimalist designer Payal Khandwala. With a background in fine art, her foray into fashion is simply a shift in her canvas. Her clothes are an extension of her personality and values that emphasise function, form, colour, traditions and Indian heritage. She is a firm believer in not sacrificing comfort for the sake of style and speaks up about the perils of following trends in the fashion industry. We talk about her design process, why she distances herself from fashion and how her clothes seek to empower the wearer to go about their daily chores whilst feeling put together. We talk about the ins and outs of building a sustainable brand from scratch and how we will dress post-pandemic when the lines between public and private life has been reduced to the edge of a screen. Payal also shares some of her sustainable practices that at present include repairing the toys torn apart by her puppy! You can check out her incredible designs at https://payalkhandwala.shop.
