    3 C’s of Styling Celebrities - Cloth, Culture, & Communication | Ami Patel | TEDxMICA
    (TEDxTalks, 2019-04-22) Ms. Ami Patel
    The meaning of ‘fashion’ has changed over the years, courtesy: Social Media. In a world of Instagram and OOTD, it is important to realize that fashion is much more than the reel life. Fashion is a non-linguistic code and a mere extempore expression of oneself. Semiotically scrutinizing it, fashion is a signifier of lifestyle, emotions, and attitudes. In the business of storytelling via fashion, it serves as a tool for two-way communication. Ami Patel, a celebrity stylist, samples this by showcasing her work with renowned ladies such as Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Isha Ambani Piramal, among others. Her latest work includes styling Alia Bhatt for Gully Boy and Kalank promotions and styling Priyanka Chopra Jonas on her wedding day. Through her campaign #ItsCoolToRepeat with Priyanka Chopra Jonas, she exhibits her efforts of promoting sustainable fashion. A renowned celebrity stylist, Ami Patel has transformed the way people view fashion through her work. She is the stylist for some of Bollywood’s most notable fashion-icons like Priyanka Chopra, Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt and Kangana Ranaut, to name a few. Last year, Ami was behind the styling of two of the most talked about weddings globally – Priyanka Chopra’s and Isha Ambani's, which catapulted her to global recognition. She has also ploughed her trade across editorials, print, and TV in addition to being one of the most sought after stylists on Instagram. She was the former Fashion Director of L’Officiel India, and the Creative Director at Harper’s Bazaar.

    (TEDx Talks, 2016-03-26) Ms. Bhumika Bhatia
    This talk by Bhumika Bhatia revolves around the story of creating and how one can look at their art through different aspects rather than just clicking the shutter button.

And then, photography happened to her. She did her first exhibition “Sublunary World” at the age of 19 and is the only Indian female photographer whose work has been published and exhibited across the world at such a young age including (Jimmy Choo and the Elton John Foundation), Selfridges-London where she was also a runner-up; Paris Fashion Week; and so on. She was featured by Cosmopolitan Magazine as a part of their cover story “People to look out for in 2012” and in magazines such as Digital Photographer, GQ India, Cosmopolitan India, TIME Magazine (Online), Front page on Vogue Italia (twice.) and many more.

    Empowerment, Feminism and Football | Tanvie Hans | TEDxMICA
    (TEDxTalks, 2019-04-22) Ms. Tanvie Hans
    What is the power of sport? Is it something that teaches us the necessary life skills? Does it teach us how to be a part of a team and work well in a group? Does it teach us to also look outside the sport? Or does it teach us about privilege? Tanvie Hans says it teaches you all of those things and more. Hear about it from Tanvie, the first woman footballer from India to play for the big leagues in England and also the first Indian woman to captain a men’s team in a predominantly men’s league. We follow her journey through football from when she was an 8-year-old child, playing in school, to playing for teams like Tottenham Hotspurs and Fulham in England and finally to now, where she is striving to empower women and young girls through football. She talks about how just believing in oneself can make an ordinary story extraordinary and the extent to which difference can be made to lives if one just makes the requisite efforts. One of the most prominent and inspiring voices for women in sports in India, Tanvie Hans started her football journey in Delhi and went on to play for legendary European clubs such as Tottenham Hotspurs and Fulham FC.
