Featured Portfolio: High-Fashion and Editorial Hair Styling
A showcase of my most impactful work, spanning avant-garde runway concepts, polished jewelry campaigns, and high-fashion bridal editorials.
This video captures the energy and diversity of my work in high fashion. I created a range of avant-garde hairstyles, from a voluminous afro and sculptural floral updos to quirky looks using rollers as accessories, all designed to make a statement on the runway and in editorials.
For this editorial bridal shoot, I designed an intricate hairpiece using braided sections of hair, creating a crown-like effect that frames the face. This look is a modern take on traditional bridal headwear, perfect for high-fashion magazine spreads.
The wet look is a powerful tool for creating sharp, high-impact editorial images. Here, I sculpted the hair to create a sleek, glossy finish that catches the light perfectly, paired with dramatic makeup for a modern and edgy feel.

Live from Lakme Fashion Week, this look was all about playful structure. I created a towering, multi-bun sculptural hairstyle that added height and drama, perfectly matching the whimsical and colorful aesthetic of the designer's collection.
This editorial bridal look focuses on the artful integration of hair and jewelry. I styled the hair in a clean, pulled-back fashion to allow the elaborate matha patti and sheer dupatta to take center stage, creating a regal and timeless portrait.

This is a classic commercial look I created for a jewelry brand campaign. The hairstyle is a soft, elegant updo with face-framing tendrils, designed to look polished and sophisticated while highlighting the diamond and emerald jewelry.
About Featured
Whether it is a high-fashion runway show or a polished bridal editorial, my priority is the relationship between the hair’s structure and the overall concept. I do not just replicate styles; I analyze the camera angle, the jewelry, and the outfit to ensure the hair looks intentional and stays secure, whether you are under studio lights or on the ramp.
This featured collection represents the versatility of my kit. My work in fashion hairstyling requires a different approach than standard event styling—it is about pushing boundaries, whether that means creating sculptural afros for the ramp or meticulous finger waves for vintage-themed editorials.
Technical Execution & Adaptability
- Editorial Precision: For photo shoots, I focus on what the lens sees. This means sharp, high-definition styling, wet-look finishes, and ensuring flyaways are managed under harsh studio lighting.
- Structural Work: From heavy matha patti integration for brides to avant-garde headpieces on models, I specialize in building solid foundations that hold weight without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
- Runway Readiness: Having worked backstage at events like Lakme Fashion Week and India Couture Week, I am trained to handle high-speed model changes, ensuring uniformity for 10-15 models under extreme time pressure.
Why Collaborate?
Hairstyling is never a standalone element; it is part of a larger story. I work closely with photographers, makeup artists, and fashion designers to ensure the hair complements the clothing and the theme. If your project requires high-concept architectural shapes, period-accurate vintage styling, or clean, commercial-ready looks, I bring both the technical skill and the professional reliability to execute it on set. Based in Delhi but mobile across India, I am ready to bring my kit to your next campaign, lookbook, or high-profile event.
