This week on the heels of Fashion Month across the globe, we’re having a fashionable conversation with a very stylish guest. Sujata Assomull is a renowned figure in the Indian and luxury fashion industry as the founding editor-in-chief of Harpers Bazaar India, a contributing editor to Vogue India, and an author with a sharp eye for analyzing Indian style trends. She truly has an incredible personal style and such a refreshing and honest perspective on the Indian fashion industry. In our conversation, we dive into the recent growth of Indian fashion, the promotion of slow and sustainable clothes by Indian designers, and the role of aging in the fashion world.

Sujata has become increasingly vocal about ageism issues in the industry throughout recent years. We discuss how our culture is fixated on youth, the lack of representation of older people in the industry, and how to balance personal style with trends. 

Plus, Sujata shares her expert tips and tricks for building an Indian fashion capsule wardrobe and her expert advice for anyone looking to break into the Indian fashion scene.
