Chaos and joy
"Whenever I have time between business meetings, I stroll through the gardens of [Mughal Emperor] Humayun, especially at sunset when the red sandstone and white marble seem to be on fire.
In just one day in Delhi you can stroll through the monuments that adorn the city (remains of past empires), through the National Gallery of Modern Art (don't miss the Rajput painting gallery) or search for treasures in the old town in the vibrant Chandni Chowk, the bazaar of Delhi.
"I visit India every six months. This country has amazing handicrafts with incredible mastery of dyeing, pattern printing and embroidery. It's a complex country that teaches you a lot about yourself - a place where life and death, beauty and ugliness, poor and rich coexist. Here you quickly feel at home, because here you will find humanity and faith. "
I travel to Delhi regularly to get my sequins, ribbons and pearls and to help make my collections.
