Anuj Lalwani: Curated Fashion & Styling Portfolio
From custom bridal couture to creative direction for luxury brands, here is a glimpse into my creative journey. This collection highlights the diverse projects that define my vibe and my work.
This is where my heart lies, in creating dream outfits for a bride's most special day. This regal lehenga showcases intricate embroidery and a timeless silhouette, designed to make the wearer feel like royalty. It’s a perfect example of my custom Indian bridal couture service.
A glimpse into a campaign I directed for the luxury brand Damilano. My role in brand visual identity is to create a compelling story, ensuring every frame reflects the brand's panache and connects with its audience. This shoot captures a mood of effortless elegance and sophistication.
I was truly humbled to be on the jury for Mrs. India 2024. My 17 years of experience, from designing couture lines to heading creative for brands like Jabong, gives me a unique perspective to guide and evaluate talent. It's always an honor to contribute to such prestigious platforms.
Mentoring students at the Janki Devi Vocational Centre is incredibly rewarding. I guide them on everything from initial sketches to final garment construction, helping them find their unique market edge. Seeing their creativity flourish is the best part of my collection mentorship program.
Here is a behind the scenes look at my process as a wedding stylist. I focus on every detail, from the fabric's fall to the intricacy of the embellishments, ensuring the final piece is not just stunning but also perfectly suited to the client. This is a moment of final checks before a bridal showcase.
Travel is essential for my creative process. Exploring the fashion capital of Milan, from the architectural marvel of the Duomo to the latest collections at Dolce & Gabbana, provides a constant flow of fresh inspiration. This is how I blend global trends with classic aesthetics in my work.
Sharing my journey on the Candid Canvas podcast was a fantastic experience. I discussed my evolution from a designer to a creative director and shared insights on building a brand. I believe in being open about the process, as life is unpredictable and every moment is a chance to learn.
Receiving the Global Achievers Award 2024 was a moment of immense gratitude. Being recognized for my work in fashion styling and design motivates me to keep pushing creative boundaries and delivering excellence in every project I undertake.
About Featured
Every piece you see here starts with a simple conversation. Whether I am drafting a sketch for a bridal lehenga or setting the mood for a commercial campaign, I prioritize your unique story. For my couture clients, that means we don't just talk fabric; we discuss how the silhouette should move and feel so you can walk into your event feeling completely like yourself. Dukh vi apne, sukh vi apne—I truly believe in dressing for the joy of the moment.
My work is a mix of technical rigor and pure creative instinct. Based in my Hauz Khas Village studio, I operate across the spectrum of fashion—from the intricate, hand-stitched detailing of bridal couture to the fast-paced, high-impact world of commercial art direction.
My Three Pillars
-
Custom Couture & Bridal Design: For brides, I focus on 'wearable glamour.' My process includes physical fittings to ensure the structure—using high-grade can-can and horsehair braid—matches your body perfectly. I want you to feel regal, not just look it.
-
Commercial Creative Direction: I help brands translate their identity into visuals. Having worked with names like Damilano and Hyundai, I know that success lies in the details—from lighting and posing to the final edit. It is about creating a visual story that sticks.
-
Mentorship & Jury Duty: I love giving back to the industry. Mentoring new designers from NIFT or judging pageants allows me to share the lessons I have learned over 17 years. It is incredibly rewarding to see fresh talent find their own market edge.
Travel is a huge part of this process. Ghoomna phirna zaroori hai (roaming is a must). Whether I am in Rome or Delhi, I am constantly absorbing new aesthetics and blending them with desi craftsmanship. Whatever your project, let’s team up and create something that makes you shine. ✨️
