This is how I turn wild ideas into real costumes and characters. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This was a magical project. I took a futuristic dress concept generated by AI and brought it to life as a real, wearable overdress for the film *Love Insurance Kompany*. This video shows the journey from digital inspiration to physical creation.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7ab2fc6d-e04d-417d-89a6-77652b22a44f) - [Video: A little glimpse into my process.

I’m often found hand-painting jackets or trial-testing fabrics to ensure the fit is perfect for the camera. Whether it’s an AI-generated overdress or a film costume, I believe in making it real with my own two hands... no shortcuts. I treat every script or mood board as a world-building exercise. A lot of what I do happens in the quiet moments before the shoot, from sourcing rare materials in Mumbai’s markets to late-night sewing sessions where I make sure every stitch tells a story. When you hire me, you aren't just getting a stylist, you’re getting someone who stays through the prep and the final wrap to handle continuity, quick repairs, and the little details that keep the character alive. My process is wild, sometimes messy, but always focused on that one specific spark we’re chasing. If you are looking for someone to help navigate the chaos of a film production or bring a specific character aesthetic to life, we should connect. Let’s talk about how we can make your next project feel just as real. ## About Rini I’m Rini, a visual storyteller who treats every project as a chance to build a new world. Whether I’m hand-painting a jacket or sourcing the perfect fabric for a film, I’m obsessed with the small details that make a character feel alive. If you want a stylist who actually gets their hands dirty, I’m your person.
