Copa: How would you describe your personal 'style?'
Rajshree: In the world of fashion, my personal style is like a canvas where I blend elements of classic sophistication with contemporary trends, creating a unique and expressive ensemble. I gravitate towards pieces that not only reflect my personality but also allow me to feel confident and comfortable. You might often find me opting for my cultural outfit ( Nepali) which I feel like I look most beautiful on. Whether it's embracing vibrant colors or experimenting with textures and patterns, I believe in fashion as a form of self-expression, allowing me to curate looks that reflect my mood and aspirations. Ultimately, my style is a reflection of my ever-evolving journey of self-discovery and creativity.
