About me
I am a London-based fashion stylist, currently studying Fashion Styling and Production at LCF, whilst building up a diverse portfolio of work. As a South Asian woman, and a hijabi, I aspire to create and become the representation I hope to see in the fashion industry. I am looking to gain experience as a styling assistant.
