LIFESTYLEAND WORK APPROACH

38. § One of the few talented youngsters to join the
fashion design bandwagon, Aneeth Arora has made
an impressive mark in the Indian fashion industry with
her out-of-the-box concepts and impressive design
techniques.
§ it is difficult to believe that Aneeth had almost no
sartorial interests in her childhood days and would
even cringe at the idea of even sewing a button on
to her shirts!
§ She strives to balance fashion with tradition, making
every day dressing fun and trendy. The foundation of
her design philosophy is that Less is More, which
reflects in her designs as well, with clothes exuding
versatility and comfort, but also carrying a keen
attention to detail.

39. Aneeth lives walking distance from her studio
and prefers to make tea and serve food
herself with no help.

40. (Left) Her fridge is covered by memorabilia from her travels and images of
her friends shot on polaroid.
(Right) The coats rack was seen on one of her shows at Wills Fashion Week
where models dressed themselves
with an outer layer on stage right before walking on the runway.

41. •Aneeth collects glass bottles. wine bottles,
jars, perfume bottles
and even a lone Thumbs
Up in the mix.
•Numerous books cover the living rooms in her home.
Mostly about art, textiles,
jewelery, craft and cultures.
•Twin persian cats have found a cosy nook in the
apartment,
which is upholstered with hand patterned fabrics –
some
which are left over from past collections.

43. WORK SPACE
AND
ENVIRONMENT

44. §Unlike many of her contemporaries, she prefers staying
in the background, working with her trusted team of
artisans, who understand her design sensibilities.
§In a world where fashion seems to be dominated by
temporary trends and global generalisation, where you
can hardly tell the difference between one item with
the other, one designer with the other, it is really
refreshing to see labels like Péro where the designer
takes inspiration from her own surroundings, putting her
heart in each and every one of her pieces.
§ANEETH ARORA is also one of the designers that makes
sure that the craftsmen working for her are supported
in long term.

45. §Aneeth believes in better working conditions as she quoted : “ it
becomes imperative that Pero showcases how it does things
right from the inception stage till when the outfit is ready to be
worn. So ,I believe when my workers are happy my work will
smile.”
§She also plans for visits and vacation for her crew members
after every fashion show.
