 I started my journey into the fashion world as a teenager. Yes, you read right? I did obviously had dreams and aspiration of what I could make out of it when I grow up (Looking back, I am smiling at my younger self). I told my parents about this desire of mine, and they agreed - anyways, they had nothing to loose, so they had to agree. So, during school breaks, I was engaged with a family friend, who is a Fashion Designer.... And here I am. My dreams are growing, and I have results to show for this path I have chosen, On the other hand, my elder sister, went on to learn hair dressing. She gave her best to being present while at it.
