Ever since I started my couture label, I’ve always tried to find different ways of giving back, and that’s always been the main reason why I continue to do what we do. I have always been associated with the Festival of Hope and what better way to contribute to their amazing cause than with fashion,” says Fashion Designer Varun Bahl.
