Talking about her fashion, style and ways of looking elegant, Basi says, “Style is an outward expression of your inner self, which manifest in terms of the kind of clothing that you wear and how you package yourself.

“I like to wear something that tells a story. It could tell my personal story. You may not know that the scarf that I am wearing is my mother’s, for instance, and it means something to me, because it was passed down from her own mother to her.”
Basi is a distinct signature that is inspired by old couturiers and designs synonymous with the tradition of the finest quality infused with unquestionable creativity.
“White is probably my favourite colour as it provides a striking canvas for me to work with. I like to look good and trendy always,” she says.
Describing her personal designs, Basi says, “I normally use the word “individualistic” because my designs lends itself to the wearer and its fun; which is why during fashion shows or exhibitions, I tell my models to smile because they are wearing clothes that are fun and there is need to let the audience see that.”
She advises that people should pay.
