Hands-On Fashion Workshops: From Sketch to Runway
I bring my 30 years of Bollywood styling experience straight to the classroom. We skip the boring theory; we sketch, source, and produce full runway shows. Ready to learn the real business of fashion?
Come join me as a mentor at NIF Global, along with other industry leaders like Ananya Panday and Twinkle Khanna. We provide real world practice and hands on experience to prepare you for a career in fashion.
My trip to Kolkata for NIF Global was fantastic. I explored the city for inspiration, from the iconic yellow taxis to beautiful local textiles, before judging a spectacular student fashion show.
As a celebrity mentor for NIF Global Jaipur, I bring my experience of styling stars like Malaika Arora and Kareena Kapoor directly to the classroom. Fashion is more than just clothes, and I teach you the art of creating a character.
A glimpse into my visit to NIFD Bhubaneswar, the land of temples. I was there for a fantastic fashion event, working with students and sharing the stage with my dear friend, actress Sanjeeda Shaikh.
Here's a personal invitation from me to the INFD Bhubaneswar fashion and interior event. I love attending these shows to see the incredible talent of the students and to share my own experiences from the industry.
Judging the annual fashion show for NIFD Surat is always a highlight. This city is a hub of fabric, and the students produced some truly outstanding and creative designs, from intricate embroidery to bold, structured pieces.
Surat, I'm coming! Announcing my visit to judge the NIFD Global annual fashion show. I always look forward to the energy of this city and the creativity of its students. It's going to be a night of action.
The Tassel Runway show by my students at NIFD Andheri and Bandra was all about high fashion and hard work. I was the sole judge, and I was so impressed by the collections, from innovative denim looks to a stunning red structural gown.
On stage at INIFD Pune with my favorite, Twinkle Khanna. We had a great question and answer session with the design students, where I shared a sneak peek into the design process for the film Tiger 3.
My time in Udaipur with INIFD was so inspiring. I soaked in the culture, from the delicious dal bati churma to the stunning palaces and local block prints. I believe travel and new experiences are essential for any designer.
About Hands-On Workshops: From Sketch to Runway
You'll learn more in these four days than in a whole semester of theory. I don't just talk about fashion; we sit with fabrics, handle the last-minute runway chaos, and I teach you how to actually style a character—not just dress a body. Whether you're struggling with mood boards or terrified of managing a 24-round fashion show, I'm here to push you through it. Come ready to work, because 'changes of clothes tho banta hai!'
My workshops are not about reading textbooks; they are about surviving the industry. Over the years, I have realized that the biggest gap for students is the leap between a beautiful sketch and a garment that actually works on a model.
When we do these hands-on sessions, we cover the full cycle of fashion design. We start with ideation and mood boards, move to the technical phase of fabric sourcing, and finish with the high-pressure production of a runway show. I show you how to handle the green room, how to direct models, and how to make a show-stopper look good under the lights.
I’ve been fortunate to work with stars like Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai, and I bring those exact professional standards to every student I mentor. We break down the business of styling—what works for film, what works for personal events, and how to keep a collection cohesive. If you are an aspiring designer looking for industry mentorship, internship guidance, or just the confidence to put your work on a ramp, this is the place to start. I am always on the move between cities like Jaipur, Mumbai, and Chandigarh, looking for the next big talent. Let’s get to work.
