Giving it all up

Just before the show began, a video showcasing Vikram’s past fashion and film work was beamed for all of us to see.

“It's been so many years behind the curtain—cueing lights, perfecting walks, setting the rhythm of shows. And that’s where I fell in love with the drama of fashion and my love for design. One garment at a time, I started building a language of my own—fabric, emotion, and sentiments.

And then cinema came calling. Costume design became my new canvas. I wasn't just dressing actors; I was shaping characters. A dupatta wasn't just an accessory, A color wasn't just a choice, And that’s where I learned storytelling. Designing costumes for films taught me how to create every single character—how to understand their silences, backstories, and their dreams-and then translate that into fabric.
