Essay · On Fashion & Slow Style
I get stopped on the street six days a week. (On Sundays I stay home.)
The other six days I move through the world in a way that apparently makes people stop mid-sentence. The question is always some version of: where did you get that? And the honest answer is usually: Paris. Atlanta. A bin. An estate sale. My own hands on a beginner Singer at two in the morning.
It starts in my closet. Which is small, extremely well organized, and — I should mention — has framed art hanging in it, because even getting dressed happens in beauty's company for me.
Getting dressed is the act of preparing the version of myself I feel like presenting that day. It's always me, but I have a lot of Me's to choose from, and most of them happen to love being fabulous--and I love indulging myself. Some mornings it's the patterned wide leg pant with a logo tee, long pearl necklace, big hair. Other mornings it's a hot pink blazer on literally everything. Almost always there's a statement piece anchored with something simple — black jeans, a basic tee. Black eyeliner. Red lipstick. Gold hoops that are logging serious miles. Eyeliner and lip are seven days a week, with little exception. I love to sprinkle in a hidden luxury touch. I wear my Poshmarked plain Gucci sneakers a lot, not gonna lie. But it's usually just a subtle wink between me and me. I'm not that flashy with brands, I just love the design and treating myself.
This is not a performance, but a practice. It's one of the ways I feel most alive.

To the right producer reading this, my secret is Fashion Fairies. They whisper in my ear and lead me straight to the good finds in every market. My private list of the world's best thrift stores spans multiple continents and is, frankly, a gold mine. Hear me out on this hit show concept: eight episodes, four continents, and Me, going thrifting — with a brief, a budget, and a client — through the sophisticated showrooms, the vintage markets of Paris and Mexico City, the occasional Goodwill. It could be absolutely fabulous. Call me. 😉

The quilted jacket started as an $8 Goodwill find — vintage floral fabric with good bones. What followed was a full deconstruction and reconstruction: new pattern, new lining, hand-finished details. This is what slow fashion actually looks like.
A small label. Limited pieces. One-of-a-kind. Sustainably sourced and fresh designs with strong shoulder moments with a nod to my desi heritage. If that interests you, let's chat! hello@sunnieanand.com
