Manoj Saravanan’s career began in Tirupur, the youngster who was then pursuing his Information Technology and Animation Training paid a visit to his uncle’s garment factory, “And there my career got a complete makeover,” says the designer who splits his time between fashion design and photography.

“Photography is the key reason for me being a designer today says Manoj Saravanan. I feel both photography and designing are inter-linked, both are two major parts of the fashion industry. I started out my career as a fashion photographer, it was the motivation and immense support given by my mother and sister that made me realise that I have creative ideas inside me. My mother was my first model,” he says.
