EASTERN MIRROR: What made you want to become a designer? Can you tell us about how got started?
Mughakali Ayemi: I don’t have a reason why I choose to be a designer; I believe I was born to love collection. I don’t remember how it got started. Life has been full of surprises for me.

EASTERN MIRROR: As a designer from Nagaland, what do you find the most rewarding and most challenging?
Mughakali Ayemi: As a designer from Nagaland, I feel the most challenging would be promoting more Naga designers and not just giving a big applause after his/her show. There has to be a next step, next show, a new walk, fashions are now anticipated with some amount of anxiety.
EASTERN MIRROR: Paying attention to women’s fashion, do you have any preferences?
Mughakali Ayemi: I don’t have particular preferences on woman’s fashion as with every new season comes fresh styles. And as a designer who believes in creating and experimenting with innovations it will be out of place on my part to have preferences hehehe…
EASTERN MIRROR: What’s next for Mughakali?
Mughakali Ayemi: I am standing on a line between giving up and seeing how much more I can take. I am once in a lifetime kind of woman so I try to grab opportunities that come my way. I believe tomorrow will be my day.
