About Me

My photo
Style Destino is my personal style space bout cruelty-free and vegetarian style. Fashion is not above someone's life and it is irresponsible when someone makes a fashion choice that involves taking a poor animal's life. I believe in style that has a conscience. We are in 21st century where technology has advanced immensely, there are myriad options available and any person with a desire can make things happen. So it is sheer selfishness and irresponsible behaviour when people make unethical fashion choices. Through StyleDestino I share everything cruelty-free and ethical in my style. I do not use any handbags, shoes or accessories made from leather (animal skin), the make-up I use is also vegetarian and cruelty free. Luxury and compassion can coexist stylishly and Style Destino is an attempt to prove just that. Vegan fashion is not about dowdy clothes, cheap bags, or tawdry shoes. I can just easily be vegan and trot in my Olsen heels, sporting a Stella McCartney luxurious vegan handbag while showing off my red lips painted with OCC lip tar!! I travel the world around and never find dearth of stylish, high quality vegetarian fashion.

Pick and Choose - Indian Designers


While I always complaint about the fit and cut of western clothes by Indian designers (somehow most fail to impress me with their visually appealing but unflattering creations) but after browsing through collections of some designers in-person, on runway and off runway, I am inordinately pleased (in fact elated, absolutely-elated) that Indian designers are finally coming up with wearable silhouettes and defined cuts in their Western collections.

Clothes from Nikhil Thampi, Nupur Kanoi and Cue by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khannaare on top of  my wishlist.  In fact this very moment I am working out ways on how to route some pieces to make its way to my wardrobe.

Nupur Kanoi - Jackets and Trousers

Let the sunshine out to let your metallics shine. Defying the commonplace notions that anything blingy must come out in the night, Nupur Kanoi brings a twist to summerwear (you could wear your bling from day to night).

Metallic infusion in day's clothing, smart jackets and pants in pastels and whites with metallic accents and feminity played up with androgyny is surely on my lust list now. Nupur Kanoi may not be a name that you would have heard of (if you're a highheelconfidential addict, ignore the former statement), but a look at her collection and it would be a name you'd never want to forget. After a fabulous last season, Kanoi continues to dazzle with her recent collection. Crisp white tunic and pants are just that crisp and white but not without a delicious topping of a droolworthy metallic jacket. Versatility, luxe and wearability with an element of awe and surprise is the winning formula in Kanoi's collection.

Nikhil Thampi - Smart yet sultry

The structured silhouette and androgyny from Thampi's creations is just what my wardrobe needs at the moment. Structured dress with surprise sheer detailing, pant suit with unexpected open back and  an interesting colour blocking with yellow, white and gold. His controlled and tenacious attitude towards silhouette is what is making his creations beautiful and unconventional.

Cue by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna - Sequin Kings

I've always loved the sequin kings', Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, label Cue (have been their loyal customer since 2001 when they retailed at 1 MG Road, Delhi and although its been almost a decade it still sucks that the mighty place{it was the Emproio Mall of those times} was demolished). The designer duo's recent collection has only upped thousand notches since then (so have their prices) with interesting jackets, colour infusion and dresses that would sure make heads turn. Detailing, detailing, detailing. Fresh silhouettes and bright hues are evoking a sense that the brand's trying to revamp while sticking to their roots of mix of modern and luxury.

Sequinned shirts are my favourite from their collection but I still have a minor gripe about how their dress falls on me (not very flattering), however it does look great on everyone I spotted, and considering they do make to order I am definitely craving for one.

  3. I choose Nupur Kanoi's collection. I usually like bright colours and monochromes, but I've never tried metallic. And her collection stands out...but that's just my opinion, and I'm not so much of a fashion guru hehe :D I'd love to adorn myself in her clothes.

    And I've recently became a fan of androgyny...though it won't suit my size. Hopefully I can drop a few, and if I do, I'd def. try this fashion style. My favourite has to be Andrej Pejic. He is beautiful guy<3.

    PS; Could we follow each other? (:
