About Fashion & Creative Consulting
What I Do
I’m all about turning a vibe or a wild idea into something you can actually see, wear, or use. My approach is pretty hands-on - I chase moods, stories, and visuals until they feel real. If you want your project to stand out, I’m here to help shape it.
Trend Forecasting & Visual Storytelling
I keep my eyes open for what’s next. I’ve worked on color trend analysis for fashion, like the Color Vision Forecast for Nippon Paint India, and I build trend books that predict what jackets and styles will pop off in the next few years. Think short trench jackets, funnel necks, teddy textures, varsity vibes, and denim with attitude.
Concept Development & Creative Branding
I don’t just style - I build worlds. Sometimes I take AI-generated fashion concepts and make them wearable, like the overdress for Krithi Shetty in "Love Insurance Kompany". I’ve created hand-painted jackets for "BOLLYWOOD REJECTS" and mashed up brands for "VIMALCIAGA" to show how creative branding for Indian fashion can be bold and playful. I’ve also directed visual storytelling for brands like Titan Eye Plus and Honda.
Who I Work With
If you’re a brand, production house, or just someone with a creative itch, I help you find your unique point of view. If you want something with feeling, not just another trend, I’m probably your person.

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.
