1. Tell us about your background and journey?
Hello! My name is Vikram Pamu. I grew up in a typical Telugu household with a trace of Maharashtra. Born and brought up in "the city of a dream" - Mumbai and was always fascinated with Bollywood. But I wasn't a very good student and found academics boring.
I felt I had a sense of design aesthetic that could explore. I couldn't afford to go abroad and study fashion degree in fancy institutes. I'm completely self-taught - I used to sit and sketch for hours. seeing my passion for design and illustration, my mom encouraged me to get enrolled in some courses in fashion. It started as a young designer fresh out of SASMIRA (Mumbai).
After that, I used to work as an intern in the Label Neeta Lulla. I worked with many fashion firms and magazines. I always give my work complete detailing and try to get finished on wow edges. I tried to set my goals / Agenda and give my fashion illustration to a new page in the history of fashion.

To break this stereotype statement, androgynous dressing open doors for design and styling that falls somewhere in between the two fashion world. It's about more than women in pants and men in skirts. Moreover, it depends upon the modernization, social and cultural factors too, how one can accept or reject the changes in trend.
3. How can one become a successful fashion designer according to you?
The person should be experimental, creative, and theatrical. We all love drama, out of the box concepts and bizarre expressions add a theatrical quality to the fashion world. Don't run around wood like the much-in-love couples of Bollywood. It's just to break the monotony and add drama to the show, we have the same intention in the world of glamour. Don't put a replica of old creations, inspired by them, and invent a new page of history.
