Here is a peek into how my design school days and runway experiences shape the way I style your looks today. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A throwback to 2019 when my resort wear collection was featured in the Global Fashion Design Week. This was a huge moment for me and a culmination of my design studies, where I was inspired by aquatic themes to create this collection.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8efc2b12-70d2-4a08-ae3d-60d289953bb8) ## About My Design Journey Understanding the *why* behind a garment is just as important as the *what*. When I put together a look for you, I don't just see colors. I see fabric construction, drape potential, and exactly how the cut sits on your body. That technical eye comes from years spent in design school, sketching patterns, and my 2019 resort wear collection that took me from the classroom to the runway. Fashion design taught me that styling isn't just about following the latest trends. It is about engineering a look that fits you perfectly. Whether we are reworking an old saree or scouting markets for a new outfit, I use that design background to ensure the fit is flawless. My 'Aquatic' collection, which I showcased at the Global Fashion Design Week, was a major turning point for me. It taught me how to take raw inspiration—like the flow of water—and turn it into a cohesive, wearable design. I bring that same discipline to your closet. If a garment doesn't sit right, I know exactly what alteration will fix it. If you have a specific vibe in mind, I know which fabrics will give us that flow. It makes the whole process much easier for you because you get professional, technical eyes on your daily or event outfits, ensuring you feel confident in what you wear. ## About Ananya Mittal Hey, I'm Ananya.
