I read a couple of fashion magazines- Vogue, Cosmopolitan, GQ. Instagram is another platform which keeps me posted about new trendsetters and styles. I am also active on LinkedIn and Twitter which gives me an insight on celebrity endorsement/ tie-ups. Moreover, I keep browsing fashion apps like Myntra-Jabong, Koovs, Ajio, Nykaa to keep myself updated about upcoming trends and collection launches.

Each of these platforms offers a different insight that is extremely valuable for my work.
