Editorial and Celebrity Fashion Styling Portfolio
A collection of projects where style meets storytelling. From red carpet appearances to magazine covers, these moments capture the vision I build for every shoot.
Styling the incredible leaders of Netflix India for the cover of Fortune India was a career highlight. I chose powerful, monochromatic red pantsuits to reflect their strength and the bold impact they've made on the industry. This is what power dressing looks like.
Working with the one and only Zeenat Aman is a dream. For this look, I layered multiple pearl and kundan necklaces over a floral Anita Dongre outfit to create a sense of modern royalty. It’s all about celebrating timeless elegance with intricate details.
This shot of Anushka Sen for the Elle List Awards captures pure Hollywood glamour. I styled her in a striking red backless gown, using a single spotlight to create a dramatic, cinematic feel that highlights the dress's silhouette and her confident pose.
For the stunning Sushmita Sen, I created this chic, monochromatic look in powder blue. The three piece ensemble, featuring a blazer with a matching choker detail, is all about sophisticated and effortless elegance, perfect for a high profile celebrity appearance.
I loved creating this edgy, preppy look for Ahsaas Channa's feature in GQ India. We paired a cropped blazer and pleated skirt with chunky combat boots to create a cool, youthful vibe that feels both powerful and playful.
This is a moment from a music video I styled for Anushka Sen. The custom sequined dress with its ethereal, flowing fabric was designed to catch the golden hour light perfectly, creating a magical, mermaid-like fantasy on the beach.
Styling Anushka Sen for the Cannes Film Festival was an amazing experience. I chose an Indo-western look with a hand embroidered blouse and a voluminous chanderi skirt to represent Indian artistry on an international stage, set against the beautiful French Riviera.
A candid moment from a men's styling portfolio shoot with Lakshya Parikh. Even in a simple green corduroy shirt, the right fit and a genuine smile can create a powerful and relatable image. It shows that great style is also about comfort and personality.
About Featured
Styling is rarely just about picking clothes. It is about the prep, the late-night steaming, the hunt for that one specific accessory, and the collaboration with the photographer to get the lighting just right. When you see a finished red carpet look, you are seeing the result of hours of logistics and creative problem-solving.
Editorial styling is about visual storytelling. Whether I am working with a magazine like Fortune or helping a star like Zeenat Aman find her regal moment, my focus remains on the narrative. I work out of my studio in Santacruz West, Mumbai, and often travel for projects. For campaigns, I bring in a team of assistants, photographers, and hair and makeup artists because a great shoot is always a group effort. My process covers moodboarding, sourcing from high-street and luxury labels, and ensuring the final fit feels natural. I handle the logistics, like designer returns and kit management, so you can focus on the camera. If you have a concept, we can start by defining the vibe and then build the look from there.
