Growing up what were your sources of inspiration? Were there any magazines, shows, movies, books that you read that you feel like helped you find your creative voice?
Arushi : Movies for sure. My mom would sometimes make us skip school to take us to shows of world cinema and theatre. Also, photography. I would spend hours looking at photographs. I didn't spend time looking at fashion magazines or anything, but I've always been interested in style - putting together outfits and trying to say something about who I am in the process.

What was your childhood like?
My childhood had a lot of painting and dancing. We were constantly creating - a lot of paper collages, pottery, painting, flowers made out of bread, earrings made of sequin, building block mechanics.

Can you speak to us a little bit about the JODI looks that you wore? Which was your favourite piece?
I didn't think I could wear so much print but I really enjoyed the pant suit. It encouraged me to try and experiment with more print on print. Also, I'm possibly biased because I love a good pair of trousers. Especially if they double up as party pants.
