Share a memorable "aha" moment from your design career.

One of the most memorable "aha" moments in my design career was when I launched my very first collection. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as I poured my heart and soul into creating each piece. When the collection was finally unveiled, the response was overwhelmingly positive. The pieces resonated deeply with our audience, and to my immense joy, the entire collection sold out quickly. It was clear that people not only appreciated the beauty and quality of the designs but also connected with the cultural heritage and authenticity that each garment embodied. This success was more than just a commercial achievement; it was the spark that ignited my passion and confidence as a designer. This initial success laid the foundation for the journey of Kameez by Pooja Kejriwal, inspiring me to expand our collections and reach new heights in the fashion industry.
