Street Style Diaries - Amrita Khanna

Amrita Khanna

There is something quite endearing about Amrita Khanna's style that is bohemian in spirit yet has the body of casual sophistication of a minimalist. The look is tailored, crisp and clean yet full of color and fun elements.

Amrita Khanna

Conversational prints have been trending for a while and this one with as diversified elements as a teddy bear to a comic character, a tiger to a gorilla, a pet bottle to a potted plant, a pineapple, a monument and a roving eye is quite unique and unlike anything we've seen. Its like carrying everything that you like with you....what a conversation starter!..... don't you think?

Amrita wears this color blocked oversize trapeze shape top in while and pastel blue and pairs it with a cropped-to-the-ankles length pair of trousers in black. A pair of meant-for-walking slip on shoes in tan and an oversize pair of shades complement her look. A statement watch, ring and black nails are her well chosen accessories with a full mop of free-spirited curlys.

Its such an easy silhouette to carry of for a city dweller that would suit most body types and is easy-breezy and cool! Amrita is the co-founder and Designer at Love Birds.

Street Style Diaries- Augustine Shimray

Augustine Shimray

Khayashii Augustine Shimray is a personality that is as vibrant and multifaceted as the multicultural land that he comes from, India. This artist/ musician/ model and designer hails from the breathtakingly beautiful and pristine hills of Nagaland. Coming from the head-hunting Tangkhul tribe of heavily tattooed warriors, Augustine is perhaps the the thread that binds tradition and modernity, the primitive and the contemporary.   

Augustine Shimray

Augustine gives us a look that spells Punk Rock with a predominantly black palette, the Mohawk, the punctured lobes, the tattoos, the leather straps and boots, but with a twist that's original and a genuine  representation of who he is rather than an imposition. He wears this asymmetric sleeveless knit top with an over sized pocket and a pair of black customized pants with heavy duty Doc Marten boots, all black.

Augustine Shimray

Augustine is among the few lads of his age to sport the traditional facial tattoos along with the various others that he sports, we're sure each with a story behind it. The various charms and bracelets and armlets that he sports add to his fierce rawness. Augustine also deigns the dream-catchers, one of which he wears. The dream catchers are a native symbol of uniting tribes and are known to filter dreams and catch the nightmares.

Augustine Shimray

Augustine has a musical side to him as well and is also a vocalist for #featherheads, feathers, leather, beads and horn almost are a part of his extended being.

Augustine Shimray

We love the gun holster like contraption he creates with leather and studs for a small pouch that we're guessing is for his tools. Would like to know the story behind the octopus on his hand.....when we meet next!

Street Style Diaries - Bandana Tewari

The Doyenne of Fashion

Bandana Tewari, a name that needs no introduction in the Fashion circles, is the Fashion Features Director of Vogue-India. Starting her journey from a literary and journalistic background Bandana has earned the status of the Doyenne of Fashion.

Bandana Tewari

In her trademark clear glass aviators, she gives us a perfect desert/jungle Safari chic look in earthy hues. Its an urban Sahara meets the City look which is super comfortable and bang-on trendy in the same breath. She wears these lounge pants in over-dyed charcoal and pairs it up with a knit cowled top in a dried tobacco.

Bandana Tewari

She layers her look with a safari style shirt dress in beige. We love this piece as it is so versatile and can be worn on its own as a dress or as Bandana chooses to. Her choice of  footwear in a pair of leopard patterned peep-toes is fabulous as it looks spectacular paired with earthy and neutral hues.

Bandana Tewari

Her fringed and charms multi-cord neck-piece, wild feathered danglers and multiple curated bracelets add to Bandana's  bohemian vibe who walks in this urban jungle with the same feisty cool gait as a spotted feline in the wilderness.
