What inspires you? “Everything around me and places I go, it’s more about experiences rather than very tangible, predictable references. Essentially, I tend to be inspired by the things I love, and I hope that other people love them too.”


Hetal Patel, Founder of VAAI
Hetal has always used style and the clothes she wears as a way to express the creative side of my personality. And what started out as a personal project to design and create dresses for her daughters has grown into a thriving business.
What inspires you? “Everything around me – architecture, art, the world and its people.”
