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. ## Highlights Browse through Rini's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/rinipant/fashion-creative-consulting/featured) - [Video: This is where the magic happens.

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. ## More services from Rini - [Bespoke & Custom Apparel](https://mytribe.in/rinipant/bespoke-custom-apparel) · ₹4-60K per garment (estimate) - [Costume Design & Styling for Media](https://mytribe.in/rinipant/costume-design-styling-for-media) · ₹10-50K per day (estimate) ## Experts similar to Rini on mytribe - [Creative Direction & Consulting by Riecha Mallick](https://mytribe.in/riechamallick/creative-direction-consulting) · ₹30-80K per day (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Fashion & Commercial Styling by Rhea Jain](https://mytribe.in/rheasstylecloset/fashion-commercial-styling) · ₹12-35K per day (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Commercial & Editorial Styling by Mitali Ambekar](https://mytribe.in/mitsamby/commercial-editorial-styling) · ₹18-55K per day (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Fashion & Brand Consulting by Kayal](https://mytribe.in/stylebykayal/fashion-brand-consulting) · ₹15-50K per day (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Editorial & Celebrity Styling by Mayuri Nivekar](https://mytribe.in/mayurinivekar/editorial-celebrity-styling) · ₹25-75K per look (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Production Styling & Costume Design by Harshstyle](https://mytribe.in/harshajpundkar/production-styling-costume-design) · ₹15K-1.5L per project (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Personal & Occasion Styling by Nidhi Jeswani](https://mytribe.in/nidhijeswani/personal-occasion-styling) · ₹5-25K per event/session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Advertising & Commercial Styling by Shreya Singh](https://mytribe.in/shreyastyless/advertising-commercial-styling) · ₹18-80K per day (estimate) · National Capital Region - [Creative & Editorial Makeup by Rinkal Karotra](https://mytribe.in/adore__yourself_/creative-editorial-makeup) · ₹5-15K per look (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Commercial & Editorial Styling by Prache](https://mytribe.in/prachethestylist/commercial-editorial-styling) · ₹30-80K per day (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Editorial & Creative Makeup by Riya Puranik](https://mytribe.in/makeupbyriya30/editorial-creative-makeup) · ₹3-10K per look (estimate) · Pune - [Special Occasion Makeup & Hair by Riya Matta](https://mytribe.in/makeupandhairbyriya/special-occasion-makeup-hair) · ₹5-15K per person (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area ## Book To book Rini, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Fashion%20%26%20Creative%20Consulting%20by%20Rini.)
