Rini

I'm a costume designer and stylist who translates concepts and moods into visual stories. I create distinct looks for ad films and movies, drawing inspiration from classical art to street culture.

This floor-length trench coat is a canvas of stories, covered in a dense collage of custom patches and beadwork. It’s a maximalist piece that showcases my love for detailed, time-intensive embellishment.

Here's a look at my custom unisex pants, designed with a wide-leg silhouette. I combined dark denim with contrasting nylon panels and athletic stripes to create a unique streetwear staple.

A glimpse into my work as a costume designer for the film 'Love Insurance Kompany'. I co-designed this futuristic, AI-inspired outfit for the actress, blending sheer fabrics with a structured neon design for the official movie poster.

This piece explores the idea of organic fashion. I transformed a simple cropped denim jacket by adding intricate beadwork and sculptural, three-dimensional floral arrangements to the sleeves and shoulders.

This is the first look for Shah Rukh Khan in the film *Jawan*. I designed this gritty, intense villain costume to establish the character's menacing presence from the very first poster.

I had the opportunity to style the legendary MS Dhoni for this Citroen "Team Dhoni" ad campaign. The goal was a cool, approachable look that matched his personality, featuring a simple blue tracksuit for this shot in a stadium full of fans.

For the Kollywood movie *Killer*, I created this dark, imposing look for actor SJ Suryah. The all black ensemble, featuring a long trench coat and a cross necklace, was designed to give his character a powerful and mysterious first impression.

Styling for this Honda CB 350 campaign was about capturing a mood. Here, I created a rugged, urban biker look with a classic leather jacket and dark jeans, set against a moody, nighttime city backdrop.

I styled this stunningly intricate Indian bridal look for a photoshoot with actress Riva Arora. The design features a heavily embroidered red lehenga, layered necklaces, a maang tikka, and a traditional red dupatta.

My Story

Hey, I’m Rini. Everything’s a vibe for me, you know? Sometimes I get ideas while wandering in Sydney rain, or just staring at the stars, feeling tiny and amazed. Mumbai is my playground - you’ll catch me painting jackets or stitching on patches, maybe with my cats chilling nearby. I guess I just chase those little sparks, whether it’s travel, art or just a quiet chai break. My style? Kinda wild, always real.

My Work

What I Do - I’m a costume designer and stylist, creative consultant, and I help with art & craft product strategy.

From Idea to Real Thing - Love making wild ideas real - like an AI concept overdress or a quirky tote bag. Custom stuff is my jam.

Projects I’ve Done - Styled ad films (Citroën with Dhoni, Honda), costumes for Tamil movies, and joined color trend forecasting with Nippon Paint.

My Style - Streetwear, custom jackets, baggy pants, Bollywood-inspired jacket design - I like clothes that tell a story.
