Lookbook

A Visual Index

Seven clients, each kept together in one place instead of scattered across a grid — so you can see what a wardrobe looks like after a year, not after an afternoon. Every photograph is real client work, published with permission, and names appear only where the client is happy to be named.

How to read this page

Arranged by Client, Not by Photograph

Most portfolios are a grid, and every square in one reads as a different person. This page is built the other way round: each client has a section of their own, and everything styled for them stays together. The first section alone runs to twelve looks, because that relationship has been going for about a year — and a year of work looks nothing like an afternoon of it. Clients are named where they are happy to be named. The others are not, and that is entirely their call.

Dr. Jai Madaan

Twelve Looks, and the Business Behind Them

The longest relationship on this page, and the only one that runs across both practices. Styling and shoot concepts, jewellery styling, hair and make-up collaborations, brand collaborations, podcast management and business development — the wardrobe is the visible part of a considerably longer list. Twelve looks are shown here, drawn from about thirty photographs.

Shanthi Priya

Three Looks, Three Different Rooms

Styling and collaborations across a number of engagements. Three looks in three registers — a pink studio set, a stone doorway, a room at Christmas — held together by nothing except her. This is what working with an actress looks like once it runs past a single shoot.

A Client

One Look, Four Frames

Styling and collaborations. A single outfit — an ivory drape with an embellished cape — photographed four ways in one afternoon. Worth including precisely because it is one look: most of what a stylist decides stays invisible until you see the same garment carried four different ways.

Suhani Shah

One Look, Daylight to Stage Light

Styling and collaborations. A tailored black blazer dress carried from a doorway in daylight to a stage under red light. The garment does not change; the reading of it does, which is most of the argument for building a wardrobe around a few pieces that travel well.

Occasion Dressing, Two Frames

Styling and collaborations. A green mirror-work lehenga, photographed twice at the same event.

An Influencer Shoot

Designed, Then Styled, Then Shot

Two influencers, in pieces Tanya designed, on a shoot she conceptualised — see Visual & Aesthetic Direction. Styling two people together is a different problem from styling either of them alone: the looks have to hold up on their own and also sit beside each other in the same photograph.

Aarti Khetarpal

Styled for Cannes

Styling and collaborations, including the jewellery for her Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Two frames from the same evening — one for the photographers, and one after she had stopped noticing them.

What Gets Documented

You Keep the Method, Not Just the Afternoon

Every engagement produces something written. Photographs record what a look was; the guide records why it worked, so you can repeat it without me.

The Style Guide

Colour palette, outfit formulas, silhouette notes, a shopping list and care instructions — yours to keep and reuse.

The Brand Strategy Document

Positioning, content pillars, platform plan, voice guide, visual identity and shoot concepts, ready to hand to any collaborator.

The Shoot Plan

Shot lists, concepts, locations, props and outfits, planned in advance so a single day produces a season of content.
