Meet the Founders — and Designers — Behind South Asian New York Fashion Week

SS: Raas by Shreya Patel uses a bandhani tie-dye-style print. It's a very traditional print, but it's used in outfits that you could wear anywhere. I could definitely rock one of those dresses out to brunch or out with my friends.

HP: It's almost like her second inning in life. For most of her life, she's looked after her family, and now she's finally doing what she wants. I'm very happy that this platform has been able to highlight that you don't have to be a certain age; you can fulfill your dreams at any age.
