Desi Diva Rocks!



Trousers, from Adolfo Dominguez; top, from St Tropez; grey shoes, from Ed Hardy; neckpiece and diamond bangle. All from Pushpanjali’s personal collection.

“I always wear clothes that make me feel good,” says Pushpanjali R Chawla, who heads her own company, Luxury Works, which facilitates brands to strategise in India. Hailing from the affluent Baidyanath family, well known for their array of Ayurvedic products, the glamorous corporate diva is the toast of Delhi’s smart set and one of India’s best dressed women.
Her personal attire which epitomises understated luxe, is all about clean lines and no-fuss designs, where she loves combining monochromatic, tailored silhouettes with fun shoes. A firm believer in power dressing, she admits that in the corporate world “one has to look professional and exude authority to be taken seriously but without sacrificing your femininity”.

I know all you fashionistas out there, love the gems as much as we at Style Hymn do. So, here are favorites of our whole team, me, Aditi, Alisha, Samiksha, Divya and Shanta....
