Experimental and Androgynous Fashion Styling in Mumbai
Pushing the boundaries of fashion is where I find my flow. Whether you want an avant-garde edge or a gender-fluid silhouette, I help you create looks that command attention.
Styling Neha Dhupia is always a creative joy. For this look, we used a unique printed dress from Huemn with bold neon green glove-sleeves, creating a striking and unconventional silhouette.

A profile shot from my experimental retro-modern shoot. The combination of a classic pinstripe shirt with a leather harness creates a sharp, androgynous look.
This shot from my creative styling series captures a moment of expressive movement. The flowing red skirt contrasts with the structured top, blending masculine and feminine elements.
A composed, still pose from the androgynous styling shoot. The focus is on the silhouette created by the full skirt and the cinched waist from the harness.
For this look, I experimented by removing the shirt and adding a long black coat. This created a more raw, deconstructed, and avant-garde version of the androgynous theme.
About Experimental & Androgynous Styles
Achieving a strong androgynous look isn't just about picking the right clothes. It is about technical precision: using leather harnesses to cinch silhouettes, sourcing the right structured shirts, and ensuring the lighting hits your chosen textures perfectly. I focus on those micro-details that make a look feel authentic rather than just a costume.
I don’t believe in keeping fashion in a box. My approach to experimental styling is about storytelling through silhouettes that challenge the usual norms. When I curate looks for an avant-garde editorial or a retro-modern concept, I hunt for unique pieces that others might overlook. This often involves blending masculine and feminine codes—think classic pinstripe shirts paired with bold leather harnesses, or structured blazers against flowing, draped skirts.
My process for these projects is rigorous. It starts with a mood board that defines the narrative. Then comes the sourcing phase, where I dig into vintage archives and connect with emerging designers to find items that fit the vision. If a garment doesn’t fit perfectly off the rack, I use on-set tailoring techniques like clamping and pinning to adjust the drape until it’s camera-ready. I also coordinate closely with photographers to ensure that fabrics like satin, leather, or sequins translate well on screen.
Pricing for these creative lookbook projects starts at ₹35,000. This covers everything from the initial creative fashion direction to sourcing and on-set management for up to 5 looks. Whether you want to explore something hatke or need a fresh perspective for your portfolio, I’m here to help you nail that aesthetic. We keep the collaboration tight, the energy high, and the final shots sharp.
