TEXTILES AND TEXTURES are love languages Sandhu speaks fluently. You will find her teaming gingham and ikat on a canvas of flared skirts and anti-fi t dresses in ingenious ways.
Her style identity: It’s an outcome of collecting interesting pieces over the years. I start with a foundational piece, then add three to four more elements to make the outfit feel harmonious.
The social outlook: My way of dressing inspires people to look at clothing differently.
Her uniform: A blouse and a skirt or a dress with a shirt, and fun stockings or tights with shoes that complement the colors.
What she’d wear to: 1. A black-tie event: A Comme des Garçons backless tuxedo jacket with a pleated skirt, a white shirt, stockings, and brogues. 2. A grocery run: A striped sweater or a gingham blouse with a full-gathered ikat skirt, fun stockings, and sneakers. 3. A work meeting: All of the above — something that is visually striking and comfortable.
Where she shops: Fabindia, Anokhi, 11.11 and Injiri. I also like Uniqlo, Imakokoni, Marimekko, COS, and tailor-made items I find online and at vintage stores.
The hero piece in her wardrobe: A tailor-made double ikat dress. It allowed me to discover clothing that was comfortable, pushing me to explore styles.
The item on her wish list: Anything in my size from Comme des Garçon’s fall 2009 and spring 2013 collections.
