ANJALI TANDON

Collection
Image: This look begins the story in memory where fear is first formed. The charcoal prints, drawn from childhood, reflect early perceptions of the ocean as overwhelming and untouchable. The suede jacket protects, while the sheer organza skirt reveals layers of emotion beneath. It is about the first time something beautiful was mistaken for danger.
Image: Self-designed charcoal artwork printed on an ultrasuede jacket with a collar embellished with hand embroidered, heat-set pailettes, featuring an open front with a hook and eye closure.The wrap skirt features 8 layers of a charcoal drawing printed on pure silk organza, with a navy organza underskirt and Swarovski rhinestones, secured by mother of pearl button detailing.
Image: Here, the fragments of fear begin to take shape. Shredded prints are woven together, forming something structured and strong. This look holds the heaviness of overthinking, the emotional residue of trying to make sense of everything. But within its weave lies control, resilience, and the early signs of transformation.
Image: Digital prints of manipulated images of nurse shark and whale shark scales on Japanese Habotai Silk shredded and individually woven together in a Spandex mesh to create a turtleneck top and a midi skirt with crocheted edges.
Image: This is the turning point, the moment fear ruptures. The distorted satin print reflects emotional blur, while melted paillettes shimmer like clarity breaking through. A burst of rhinestones from a cutout symbolizes that moment when distortion can no longer contain the truth. Beauty reveals itself not despite the distortion, but because of it.
Image: A-Line shift dress in Duchess Satin featuring digitally distorted visuals of the underwater and a gathered neckline with mother of pearl button closures on the shoulder. The dress is embellished with heat-set pailettes, an organza reverse applique cutout, finished with Svarovski rhinestones.
Image: This look explores what was hidden beneath the surface. Sheer pants and a translucent T-shirt veil the body, while vibrant paillettes sparkle softly from within. The woven tube pieces tie the past to the present where chaos restructured. This is the gentle moment of realization: that clarity doesn’t need to be loud, just honest.
Image: Shredded digital prints of the distorted  underwater on Japanese Habotai Silk woven in an alternating fashion on Spandex mesh with crocheted edges to form an interchangeable tube top and mini skirt. The look also features an organza oversized t-shirt with blue pailettes reflecting from the back, attached with traditional mukaish metal thread and organza straight fit pants with pailettes peeking from the inside.
Image: The final look brings the journey full circle. Strips of different prints, sewn together in an alternating rhythm, create visual distortion, yet together, they form a whole. It’s no longer about seeing clearly, but about embracing how perception is shaped. This look is not about perfection. It’s about finally accepting what is real.
