About Indo-Western & Desi-Core
Ever looked at your closet and thought you had nothing to wear, even though it is full? That happens because we often think of clothes in single sets. I help you break that habit. Whether it is taking a corset top and pairing it with jeans or layering a breezy dress over denim, I focus on mixing your ethnic pieces with everyday basics to create looks that feel fresh and comfortable for city living and your personal vibe.
What is Desi-Core to me?
It is not just about fusion wear. It is about taking the pieces you already own and giving them a twist. Maybe it is adding a waist chain to a simple crop top and skirt, or wearing that heavy Anarkali with sneakers instead of heels. If you have been looking for an aesthetic that says 'I made an effort' without looking like you are wearing a costume, this is it.
Why I love the Mix
My style is built on 'High-Low' fashion. You will often see me mixing a piece from a big brand like H&M or Myntra with a hidden gem I hunted down at Sarojini or Janpath. This approach makes your wardrobe versatile and keeps your budget in check.
How we can collaborate
- Closet Audits: We go through what you have and create 15 to 20 new outfits from your existing clothes. You will be surprised by what we can find hidden in your closet.
- Market Shopping: I take you to Delhi markets, help you find the best quality surplus, and handle the bargaining so you pay local prices.
- Custom Styling: If you have saved a Pinterest look, we can recreate it. I also offer virtual styling where I send you a curated lookbook with direct links to shop items.
End of the day, fashion should be your drama-free zone. If you are ready to experiment with your style, let’s get started.
