Tanya Ravichandran's Closet Is A Runway History Lesson
With millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram, she’s reclaiming vintage archival fashion for a wider cultural audience—one Ann Demeulemeester piece at a time.
First up: a rolling rack lined with runway treasures, like the Dior leather mirror pants from F/W 2002 collection. "They were my dream to get because they use mirror work from artisans in Rajasthan,” Ravichandran says, referencing how mirrors are a beloved Indian textile. “It's so special to me." Next, two Prada sets from the late '90s: a mirrored leather skirt, trench, and bag and a tiled white camisole and pleated skirt. Lastly, she pulls out the famed Alexander McQueen Supercalifragilistic beige net “milkmaid” corseted cocktail dress. Tanya herself is floating across the room wearing a deer-print lace-up top and skirt combo—Yves Saint Laurent from the Tom Ford circa 2002—that looks like it was made just for her. Later, she unveils a S/S 1996 Maison Martin Margiela sequin print Trompe L'Oeil Maxi Dress and opera tabby gloves, both of which are also currently on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
