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.

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.
