My signature look: A blend of contemporary trends and personal expression through statement clothing and accessory pieces! Bright colors are always a must.
On casual days, my go-to ensemble features a cropped tee, ripped denim, and chunky footwear like the Converse Run Star Motion Platform trainers. When it s time to dress up, I embrace glamour with sparkly sequin bodycon dresses or elegant lace tops paired with flirtatious mini skirts—and complete the look with bold smokey-eye makeup and eye-catching heels like my shimmery Karl Lagerfeld KL Monogram heels.
In India, I celebrate my culture with flowing kurtis and loose palazzo pants in soft hues.
My favorite designers: Rahul Mishra, Gaurav Gupta, Sabyasachi, Christian Dior, and Schiaparelli. They continually mesmerise the fashion world—and always remain steadfast in their vision.
On my fashion wish list: As someone hailing from Odisha, India, a lifelong dream of mine is to bring its rich craft and heritage into the international fashion spotlight. Of course, I would also love to own a pair of Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolo Blahnik Hangisi stilettos in royal blue—and a Dior Saddle bag!
A fun fact about me: As a child, I loved adorning my Barbie dolls–it ignited my passion for style and opened a gateway to a new world. To this day, the color “Barbie Pink”—a color I wore to my first Vogue Club member event—effortlessly transports me to the cherished memories of my childhood!
