Episode 1: The Inspiration

When I created La’ Agra, I knew I didn’t want fast fashion—I wanted Indian‑inspired cocktail pieces that felt elevated, modern, and made to last.

Pleated Blue became that promise in motion: crafted locally in New York with skilled makers, high-quality fabrics, and reimagined pleats that feel sculptural, fluid, and quietly powerful. It launched with my first fashion show in Philadelphia, saw moments at Macy’s, and proved that thoughtful design, luxurious materials, and non-disposable clothing could live together in one collection.
