From the latest trends to super cool DIY tips, this Mumbai-based fashionista’s Instagram handle is a beautiful portrait of Indian and contemporary fashion. Big names like Forever21 feature regularly in her stylebook, but there are just as many edgy outfits created with the best of high-street brands.
