STOCKHOLM STREET STYLE

So I had a LMFF red carpet wrap-up blog planned, but than the most exciting thing to ever happen to this "little one" ;) occurred this afternoon. Yesterday while I was waiting for Sachi to get her hair done at the L'Oreal powder room, a strangely familiar face approached me quietly to ask if I could have my picture taken. Obviously flattered, I obliged. As soon as Danny introduced himself, my face reddened - realising immediately that he and his partner were the creatives ' Danny & Caroline' of Stockholm Street Style. I knew they were in town for L'Oreal Fashion Festival, but it never even crossed my mind I could be in front of their lens... let alone featured on their site...

An Epic finale to a wonderfully spontaneous Fashion Week. A huge Thank You to Caroline & Danny

For me, Street fashion does not get bigger or more eminent than Stockholm Street Style having shot every prominent fashion figure in the world from Anna Del Russo, Chiara Ferragni, Olivia Palermo, Tilda Berglind (remember my blog about the amazing Berglind sisters?) to Anna Wintour... and the list goes on. If you don't already know and Love Stockholm Street Style, check it out here - or any of the links above ;)

Designing My 2025/2026 Grad Collection

Rada Priya 25/26' Concept board Fashion has always been a part of my creative soul, but after stepping away for years, returning through my studies has reignited a passion I thought I'd left behind. Now, deep in the concept phase of my 2025/2026 diploma graduation collection, I'm drawing inspiration from the opulence of Paris Couture Fashion Week SS25, particularly the breathtaking craftsmanship of Armani Privé. This collection is about honoring my roots in intricate beadwork while embracing sustainable practices and modern elegance. My design process starts with textiles, and my palette has evolved into a rich tapestry of verdant hues—lush greens, earth tones, metallic blues, and soft greys. Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time

Design | Content | Photography

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.
