Honoring a Royal Mentor in Fashion

My mentor in fashion was the late Alakazia, and he helped with my initial designs for Yoga N Chill. Born a prince into the royal Tata family of India, he was accustomed to high fashion growing up in the royal palace. He went on to design for many luxury brands and for many celebrities including Angelina Jolie. He is notably remembered for designing Kimora Lee’s Baby Phat logo. Alakazia was also my friend and neighbor for many years before he passed away of a failed heart transplant. In honor of Guru Purnima (purnima = full moon in Sanskrit), the time each year that we honor our teachers in Eastern tradition, I created this tributary video in his remembrance. His talent, guidance, and friendship are deeply missed.

Remembering the Late Alakazia: The Father, The Friend, The Prince, The Neighbor

When it came to my activewear line, Yoga N Chill, Alakazia helped me to express my personality and emotions through my designs in a way that was emphatic yet contained and subtle yet impactful and I’m grateful for his guidance.

Alakazia inspired my upcoming Coteen Dress Collection as well. Born a prince into the royal Tata family of India, Alakazia grew up in the royal palace. As such, his style was heavily influenced by the high fashion adorned by members of the court and the Kathak dancers at lavish Indian parties. Alakazia’s father was a high court judge in London, and during our time together, we had several philosophical conversations about life and right and wrong, and how these principles apply to fashion.

Mentoring with Alakazia brought a new level of discernment to my work. and I definitely feel his presence guiding me when I design today.

Yoga N Chill, was created to embody the spirit of a modern, healthy lifestyle movement. The chakra-inspired designs for the activewear and bikini collections featured at Yoga N Chill were intended to spread awareness of yoga and the chakra system to promote balance, health, and overall well being. Self-care is a big part of wellness and a major contributor to mental health, and socializing with like minded people is one way to practice self-care. Check out this video of a fun group activity members of the Yoga N Chill community participated in to promote a higher vibrational state of being.
