For Bandana Sondhi, working in fashion didn’t seem like a career choice, but a fate that she could not resist. Being fascinated with fashion ever since she touched her teenage years, she notes that her career has been a journey with many lessons learned and attesting that nothing comes easily. Wearing multiple hats from being a stylist to fashion consultant to a model, she shares some of the best styling insight you’ll ever find and can teach us all a thing or two about chasing our goals and creating our own Cinderella stories. In a tete-a-tete with S&A’s Dipika Chopra, the fashion connoisseur shares her taste.

Tell us a little about yourself and your career so far.

In a personal capacity I would describe myself as a philosopher and deeply spiritual at heart. In a professional capacity, I have been connected with fashion and style for the last several years as a successful model with over 40-plus TV and Print ads for every leading brand one can think of from Coca-Cola to Samsung. I have also been styling and grooming people from various walks of life for their fashion sense and lifestyle. I consult with brands for their promotions and positioning. And last but not the least, I am a writer and a columnist with several leading newspapers. Not many people know that I began as a banker with American Express.

At what age did your fascination for fashion start?

I think I have been fascinated with fashion ever since I touched my teenage years.
