Payal’s career in fashion is a captivating journey where global perspectives and cultural roots converge. After studying at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, she worked at Lands’ End creating stylish and functional pieces. Her foundation was established at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in India, where she launched her eponymous label. She blended traditional Indian elements with contemporary design, creating pieces that resonated with a global audience. To further enhance her expertise, she earned an MS in Marketing, combining creativity with strategic insight. This unique blend of design and marketing knowledge gives her a competitive edge in creativity and functionality that resonates with consumers while maintaining artistic integrity. Internships at Kenneth Cole and A|X Armani Exchange exposed her to urban sophistication and innovative design, adding a cosmopolitan flair to her work. Her design and styling approach is a blend of modern and classic elements, reflecting her belief in the enduring nature of true style. She is guided by the principle encapsulated in Coco Chanel’s quote, “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” This philosophy emphasizes that while trends come and go, true style is timeless and remains relevant.
SPRING 2025 STYLE For spring 2025, the fashion world embraces sleek sportiness, with athleisure evolving into a more refined and sophisticated look. Tailored joggers, sleek windbreakers and structured tracksuits are crafted from luxurious materials like silk blends and metallic finishes. These pieces combine comfort, performance and style, ideal for both active lifestyles and casual outings. Scoop-neck tank tops are making a strong return. With updated cuts and fabrics, these versatile pieces can be dressed up under blazers or paired with skirts for a more casual vibe. The flattering silhouette of the scoop neck adds a feminine touch while remaining effortlessly chic and adaptable. Plaid patterns are reimagined with modern silhouettes and oversized designs. Whether on dresses, blazers or accessories, plaid’s timeless charm is infused into both casual and formal looks. Earthy tones like khaki and olive dominate this season. These muted shades offer versatility, pairing well with vibrant colors or neutral tones. Vibrant pops of color – such as bold reds, blues and yellows – inject energy into spring wardrobes, making this season all about dynamic, versatile and joyful fashion.
