About the collection: "My label, as you know, is 'Salt' and I haven't really given a name to define the theme for this year's autumn/winter line. Essentially I've tried to create clothes that someone would like to take on vacation -- you know, light, textured fabrics that are not easily wrinkled. But I have included a few saris this time around -- they're not your typical ethnicwear, I've tried to give them my own unique touch. They have zero zardozi work, instead they sport silk rag stitching, jaali cutwork and have a very light feel overall."

Trends to watch out for this year: "Well, skirts are back with a bang, for one thing. Personally, I've used light fabrics this year but done heavy wool embroidery on them when it comes to jackets and other winterwear -- that's what I think this season will be all about. As for colours, you can't go wrong with autumn shades -- burgundy, olive, rust, blue..."

Take on Fashion Week: I think it's a great place to start your career, a fantastic platform to showcase your work."
