The Next Wave: Yashasvi on What’s Next for Indian Fashion

Yashasvi’s journey into the world of fashion is a story of serendipity and hustle. What started as a spontaneous decision to take a styling course during the pandemic quickly evolved into a flourishing career, with stints at Vogue Arabia, Harper’s Bazaar, and a mentorship that changed everything. Her big break? Styling Virat and Anushka—a moment that set her on a path to becoming one of the most exciting names in Indian celebrity styling.

For Yashasvi, styling is about more than just trends and appearances. It’s an intimate collaboration focused on confidence and authenticity. “It’s about how the client feels when they wear the outfit, not just how others see them,” she shares. Her process is a blend of research and intuition: mood boards, color analysis, wardrobe edits, and, most importantly, listening to her clients. The result? Looks that are both transformative and true to the person wearing them.

Navigating the pressures of high-profile events, Yashasvi champions the power of subtlety and balance. She believes that a little edge—whether through accessories or creative direction—can turn even the simplest outfit into a statement. Her proudest moments come from taking risks and creating iconic looks, like her game-changing swimwear shoot for Vogue Arabia.

Yashasvi’s eye is drawn to designers who master silhouettes with just the right amount of edge, and she’s quick to credit the influence of social media in shaping today’s fashion landscape. She sees Indian fashion moving toward individuality, sharp tailoring, and “boss lady” energy, with comfort always at the core.

Her advice for aspiring stylists? Never stop learning, embrace the hustle, and always put passion before money. “It may look glamorous, but it’s a lot of hard work behind the scenes,” she admits.

Yashasvi’s vision for Indian fashion is clear: the next wave is all about authenticity, storytelling, and helping clients discover their best selves. For more on her creative process, icons, and red carpet secrets, read the full story in this May Edition .
