Dear Readers, I’m here to spin a trendy yarn with a spectacular display of Indian traditional textiles, apparel, accessories, art and craft. With each runway I curate, every blog I pen, every silhouette I style and every drape I define, I seek to blend the roots of Indian Heritage with the rhythm of modern expression. Do remember, Magnificence is handcrafted!

Vision- Crafting Culture into Couture!

Keep it simple, or keep it stylish, let’s take over the control,

Fashion shall come within you that reflects your soul.

Be you, be what you are, with no intention of attention,

Be happy, be cheerful, give your confidence another dimension.

Let’s carry ourselves with all the passion,

After all, it’s all about Fashion.

“In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.” This quote by the fashion visionary, COCO CHANEL, has always been my mantra to make me reside in the world of FASHION forever. People always follow the trend! But what attracts me the most is ‘preferring the other way’. You know, in today’s urbanized world, when you look different from the crowd, people notice you. So the fashion and style statements at Tale of a Trend will originate in the roots (heritage) and will hit the runways, thus reversing the fashion movement.

Lastly, I would like to say, to make your fashion journey pleasurable, keep checking Tale of a Trend- A concept by Mehak Gulati!

Life is a ramp! WALK IN STYLE!!
