GrOath PodTalk | Style Is Identity | Refurbishing Sarees | Rasshmi Chhajjer | Ruchi Shah

Meet Ahmedabad based global fashion boutique founder, Rasshmi Chhajjer who has answers to everything about fashion.

In this episode of the GrOath Podcast, we dive into a refreshing conversation on personal style, fashion identity, and modern design thinking. From choosing an Anarkali or saree at parties where everyone else opts for western wear, to reimagining traditional garments in bold new ways — this discussion challenges how we define fashion today.

What this episode explores:
• Why style is identity, not conformity
• Choosing Indian wear confidently in modern social spaces
• How Pinterest, AI and digital inspiration have changed the design process
• Why designers no longer brainstorm the same way they did 10 years ago
• Creating designer pieces that aren’t available anywhere else
• The creative potential of a saree — including turning it into a blazer
• Breaking the myth that all fashion designers are expensive


This episode also sheds light on an important mindset shift:
Fashion designers aren’t always “expensive” — many are simply skilled, thoughtful, and fairly priced, especially at boutique and independent levels.

If you’re someone who believes fashion should reflect personality, creativity, and confidence — this conversation will resonate deeply.
