I Retouche

Get @reshare_app • @shaeroy Some editorials are stories you create. And then there are the ones that become a part of your own story. This one is particularly close to my heart.

To conceptualise and style this celebration for ELLE India, as it marks 30 years, alongside Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, as they celebrate 40 years, feels like witnessing—and contributing to—a beautiful confluence of legacy, artistry and Indian fashion at its most magnificent.

For me, this editorial is a celebration of craft, of vision, of excess without apology, and of the enduring power of Indian couture to create wonder.

It is also deeply personal. To bring my vision to a story of two institutions that have shaped the visual language of fashion in this country is a privilege I hold very close.

30 years of ELLE India.
40 years of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.
And one extraordinary story that I feel incredibly fortunate to have imagined, styled and brought to life.

Here’s to legacy—and to the magic of creating something that, one hopes, will linger long after the pages turn. ✨

Thank you @aineenizamiahmedi
