Character Styling & Film Wardrobe Portfolio
Fashion isn't just about clothes, it’s about giving soul to a character. From iconic film looks to the chaos of high-speed ad shoots, this is where my best work lives.
This is the official poster for the film 'Munda Rockstar'. I designed the lead's entire look to capture that perfect blend of a rebellious musician with a traditional Punjabi heart. The studded leather jacket and guitar say it all.
To create the look for a menacing don, every detail matters. For Govind Namdev ji, I chose this deep red velvet robe with gold piping to give him an aura of power and luxury, making his character instantly intimidating.
For Supriya Pathak ji's role as Amma in 'Raid 2', the goal was grace and simplicity. I selected this simple printed cotton sari to reflect her character's strength and warmth. A costume should feel like a second skin, not just clothes.
Transforming Ali Asgar sir into his famous 'buwaa' character is always a fun challenge. Here you can see me making final adjustments to the colorful dupatta draping, a key part of creating that funny, over-the-top aunty look for the TV series.
It's not every day you get this much love from the powerhouse himself, Ranveer Singh. Working with him on the sets of 'Singham' was an incredible experience. His energy is truly one of a kind.
For this TV ad, the brief was simple: create a 'Gold Man'. I designed this flashy, metallic gold suit to be eye-catching and memorable. It shows how I can bring even the most unique commercial concepts to life.
The real work starts long before the camera rolls. This is me taking measurements for Yuvraj Hans for 'Munda Rockstar'. A perfect fit is non-negotiable for making an actor comfortable and confident in their role.
This is the real grind of film production. In Delhi, we had to style and prep 2,000 background artists in just two hours. It's chaotic, high-pressure work, but my team and I always get it done.
About Featured
People see the final shot and the glamour, but the real story is in the fittings. Whether it's draping a simple cotton saree for a character like Amma in 'Raid 2' or ensuring a velvet robe sits perfectly for a don, I believe a costume should feel like second skin. It’s not just about looking good on camera; it’s about making the actor feel like the character the moment they step on set.
The glamour of the fashion world is real, but the reality is a grind. My work spans everything from designing character-driven film wardrobes for projects like 'Munda Rockstar' to managing the organized chaos of commercial sets.
The 'Fixer' Mentality
I don’t just source clothes; I solve problems. On a recent Delhi shoot, I had to style 2,000 junior artists in just two hours—one hand holding an eyebrow pencil, the other a lipstick. That is the kind of high-pressure environment where I thrive. If something needs fixing, whether it’s a wardrobe malfunction or a quick makeup touch-up, I am the first one to jump in.
Character-Driven Design
My approach is built on collaboration. When I worked with Ali Asgar for his 'buwaa' look, it wasn't just about putting a dupatta on him; it was about capturing that specific, funny energy that translates to the screen. For legends like Govind Namdev, it’s about sourcing materials—like deep red velvet with gold piping—that command power.
What I Bring to Your Set:
- Film & TV Costume Supervision: From continuity tracking to aging and distressing fabrics to make them look real.
- Ad Film Styling: Fast-paced, high-impact looks that need to pop on camera immediately.
- On-Set Support: I am there for the full 12 hours, handling draping, safety pinning, and quick changes so the director and actors can focus on the performance.
My mother taught me that work is a blessing, and I treat every project with that same respect. Whether you need a character built from scratch or a professional to handle the logistics of a massive shoot, I’m ready to make it happen.
