I love statement dressing: Ikshit Pande
The designer behind the modernist tailored label QUOD on how to keep things sharp
My personal style is: I love statement dressing, but I’m also too lazy to put in the work. So my personal style ranges from basic monochromatic athletic wear to once-in-a-bluemoon Comme Des Garcons head-to-toe moments.
My personal style icon: Tilda Swinton, no one else compares.
An item in my wardrobe that means a lot to me: My Rick Owens Kiss Boots. I have gone to the clubs in them, attended formal dinners, ran through midtown Manhattan, even fallen off a flight of stairs multiple times after the afterparties. They’ve seen me through almost everything.
My favourite souvenir from my travels is: I’m not a souvenir person. I think I subconsciously do not like to bring back tangible memories only so that I can long to return there someday.
The best gift I have received: Bouquet of flowers along with handwritten notes from my boyfriend every time I get back to the city from my travels. I have over 100 of these notes.
The last thing I bought: Contrary to what may seem like, I’m not a big shopper. I buy less, and I use it over and again. So I really do not remember what I bought last. Perhaps it was a Jean Paul Gaultier turtleneck or a Y/PROJECT pair of jeans.
The last book I read: ‘Em and the Big Hoom’ by Jerry Pinto.
The last film I loved: It’s been a decade but I’m still not over ‘Interstellar’.
My Spotify list would include these songs: I rarely do playlists. I’m a cover-to-cover album listener. Some of the records I listen to the most are: Stranger in the Alps (Phoebe Bridgers), Graduation (Kanye West), MassEducation (St Vincent), Plunge (Fever Ray), and Body Talk (Robyn).
