IDENTITY JAN 2025 COVER - PALLAVI DEAN
AS THE FASHION STYLIST AND THE ONE WHO LEAD THE CREATIVE DIRECTION, THE FOCUS WAS ON BLENDING BOLD AESTHETICS WITH CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE, INSPIRED BY THE GROUNDBREAKING WORK OF PALLAVI DEAN AND ROAR IN INTERIOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE.
THE CORE CONCEPT REPRESENTS PALLAVI’S DISRUPTION OF TRADITIONAL FLOWS, MAKING WAVES AND CREATING ECHOES IN THE INDUSTRY, MUCH LIKE A SHEPHERD LEADING A FLOCK. THE DESERT SETTING, SYMBOLIZING PALLAVI’S CHILDHOOD IN SHARJAH, IS COMPLEMENTED BY PROPS LIKE MIRRORS, REPRESENTING THE DISRUPTION OF FLOW WHILE STILL MAINTAINING BEAUTY, MIRRORING HER VISION FOR THE DESIGN WORLD.
THE PLAY BY F.A.M.E. EVENTS - THRIFT FOR GOOD
AS A FASHION STYLIST, IT IS MY PRIDE AND JOY TO HAVE MY PASSION PROJECT COME TO LIFE. I HAVE STYLED PEOPLE OF DETERMINATION FOR F.A.M.E. EVENT’S THE PLAY 2024. EVERY PIECE USED WAS FROM THRIFT FOR GOOD - PROVING THAT FASHION CAN BE BOTH SUSTAINABLE AND EMPOWERING.
SEEING THE PEOPLE SHINE ON STAGE WAS A REMINDER THAT STYLE IS MORE THAN WHAT WE WEAR - IT’S HOW WE EXPRESS CONFIDENCE, DIGNITY, AND JOY.
SUMMER COLLECTION 2024 - THRIFT FOR GOOD
WITH EMILY IN PARIS IN MIND, BOLD TEXTURES AND PRINTS HAS BEEN PUT INTO CREATIVE STYLING FOR THIS SUMMER SHOOT FOR THRIFT FOR GOOD.
THE IDEA SPRUNG TO MIND AS MARKETING MANAGER, AINA, HAS ASKED ME TO STYLE HER PIECES TO SET THE TONE FOR THE TRENDING NETFLIX SERIES AT THAT TIME.
