We found AISPI founder Aisha Saraf Kothari mingling with buyers on Day 1. “We curate contemporary western-wear designers and bring them to India. I was born and raised in Delhi, but I live in Belgium where I discovered some of the finest minds in European fashion. We wanted to give Indian buyers the ability to have access to the best of these global finds,” said Kothari
