What made you get into designing?

A TV show that I saw, but I soon realised that it's nothing like any TV show.

Pop Culture, Music and also People in general. 
 
Who has been your biggest support in your life in making this a reality?

My parents 


How has the feedback been for your latest collection, tell me about about the name “born”. 

Born is based on fictional figurative characters that I made,  So it's almost like ''Doctor Orange, Human and Rabbit  [ The characters ] were ''Born''. The characters are however very ambiguous. They are whatever and whoever you want them to be.

Streetwear 
 
Are you working on any current designs?

Working on expanding the product range surrounding these characters and exploring new mediums and products in which I can continue the visual imagery of BORN
 
How do you see the fashion industry growing?

I always say this. Sri Lanka is a great place to be. We have resources to do a lot of things we want and the market is great to try out new things. I think we will see a lot of cool new things in our industry. 
 
What’s the most interesting thing about you that one wouldn’t learn from your resume alone?

One day I want to run a food truck 
 

What’s the best / worst part of doing what you do?

Best- Being able to create basically anything I want. 
Worst -  procrastinating 

 

What do you hope for Sri Lanka?

Good Policies
 
How would you describe your personal Fashion?

Jeans, T-shirt and Sneakers almost everyday
 
If
if you woke up one morning with only the clothes you sleep in all alone in another country unable to speak the country’s language what’s the first thing you will do?

Look for the closest McDonald's 

if you could shape your own future just as you wanted it to be what would you add to it?

I like the surprise of not knowing what's ahead 

If there was no electricity for a year anywhere in the world where would you be?

Japan

if you could change one awful event in world history what would it be and why?

Michael Jackson's death because I want to go to one of his concerts 


In the Spot?
What advice would you give our politicians?

Do the right thing! 

Is it quality or quantity for you? Explain?

Quality! Always better to put all your effort and make a good product. 
 
What do you say is the biggest issue that the youth face today in Sri Lanka?

Growing up too fast

Repetitiveness

Pandas. I think I can relate to them


Something or someone you miss the most from childhood?

Never early. Maybe right on time

Danu Innasithamby

Danu Innasithamby is proof that one person can survive on coffee, curiosity, and an unhealthy number of WhatsApp messages. A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
