Fashion Illustrations
It started with a 13 years old kid watching Cinderella cartoon, falling in love with Ball gowns and sketching it. Since then, I have learned Illustrations on my own.
Currently, I make handmade Illustrations and also use Digital Mediums like Autodesk Sketchbook.
Costume Study
What happens when Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones, come to the 21st century?
Well, this Assignment made us* think about it.
We had to select any character, fictional or real, and based on the character analysis, we had to create a garment for the contemporary time.
Check the process, character analysis, and more pictures.

Hand Dyed Irregularities
Carefully tied and Dyed in vibrant hues. These handcrafted irregularities take us back to the history of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Japan.
Saree, Dupatta, and daily wear are made with love using tie-dye and Shibori techniques.
The White Shirt Project
The White shirt project was part of a class assignment, where I had to select a country and represent that country on a white shirt/tee using any fabric manipulation/ornamentation or surface development techniques.
Turkey is a country with the cultural amalgamation, cosmopolitan nature and art. To represent the country, I chose EBRU, one of the oldest printmaking techniques and used it on a T-shirt. The colors, blue and green represent the oceans that surround Turkey from three sides.
