Mentoring Aspiring Stylists & Fashion Internships
I don't believe in coffee runs. My internships are bootcamps for the real world, covering everything from red carpets in Mumbai to shopping trips in Tokyo.
This is Bhakti, who started as an intern and is now a successful freelance stylist. In this video, she talks about her journey, from learning professionalism on movie sets to joining me on a personal shopping trip to Tokyo. Her story shows the real world growth that comes from hands on experience.
Meet Savani, another one of my talented former interns. She shares her experience working on a large scale wardrobe management project in Bangalore and how the internship helped her grow financially. It makes me proud to see my interns build successful careers for themselves.
An internship with me is a deep dive into the industry. This testimonial from a former intern highlights the variety of projects she worked on, including ad shoots for brands like Bournvita and celebrity styling for Sonali Kulkarni. My goal is to provide a learning environment that is both professional and supportive.
About Mentoring the Next Generation
My mentorship isn't a classroom lecture. It is on-set reality. You will be handling the heavy lifting—from garment steaming and continuity on ad films to managing logistics for celebrity shoots. If you are ready to learn the actual business, including how to pitch, invoice, and manage demanding clients, let's talk.
Styling is often romanticized, but the reality is purely logistical. In my workshops and internships, we cut through the glamour so you can see what the job actually entails.
The Curriculum of Reality
- Logistics & Sourcing: You will learn how to navigate designer studios, manage PR agencies, and execute the 'Rule of 3' for backup outfits.
- On-Set Discipline: You'll understand the hierarchy of a film set, maintain garment continuity, and master the silent art of on-set fixes.
- The Business Side: We discuss the unglamorous but essential parts: invoicing, budgeting for production houses, and handling client contracts.
My former interns, like Bhakti and Savani, didn't just learn to style; they learned to run businesses. From working on campaigns for brands like Bournvita to handling high-stakes celebrity styling for Sonali Kulkarni, they saw the full lifecycle of a project. I look for people who are proactive. If you can handle the chaos of a 12-hour ad shoot and still have the energy to ensure the hemline is perfect, you belong here. This isn't just about fashion; it is about building a career that stands on its own.
