Vinita Makhija has taken up the baton of spotlighting and documenting India’s rich history with textiles as well as our legacy craftsmanship. She worked for nearly a decade at editorial publications as a fashion stylist and creative director. Now, she still wears these hats while balancing her time as a writer and editor. 

In this penultimate episode of the podcast, Vinita tells Surbhi about her beginnings in the fashion industry (00:57), how she found her visual language (4:39), about her extensive travels through India documenting Indian textiles (6:35), and a very compelling segue into ideas as currency (14:25). We pivot to Vinita's pick of homegrown labels (24:50) in the second half of the episode, ending with our AMA on staying inspired and her thoughts on the role of social media in this industry (34:26).
