It’s memorable. And there’s a new emerging designer who is using this approach to her advantage. That would be Yashana Malhotra (@outofyourgaze), a fashion student who is using the sidewalks of London as a way to make her bold, extravagant frocks be known.Malhotra is a 25-year-old fashion designer and artist who is currently finishing up her womenswear studies at Central Saint Martins. On her TikTok page, which she launched in 2019, Malhotra shares videos of herself sitting on the subway, popping out for flowers, or just posing on the streets in her handmade dresses, which always turn heads. Why? Because they often are voluminous, featuring beautiful, full skirts and puffed shoulders—in other words, not your everyday sweats. “My work as a designer sees fashion more through a fine art perspective,” says Malhotra of her aesthetic. “I love big dresses. I want clothing to be excessively large, so the body doesn’t feel contained.”For Mahotra, wearing her epic designs in a more casual setting is a natural approach to dressing (she says she feels her most “powerful” in them). But she also sees the power in how doing so can familiarize people with her work, and she has become quite accustomed to people stopping and staring. “I don’t think I’ve ever been out and not turned every head on a street,” she says, adding that the gawking comes from all ages. “I’ve had 5-year-old girls say they want to have the dress, to a 68-year-old who told me she’ll wear it to a wedding when she has it—and everyone in between.”Below, Malhotra discusses what inspires her work, what fabrics or silhouettes are her go-to signatures, and how people react to her wearing it.1. What made you want to start creating on TikTok?My brother was after me to post my drawings on TikTok, so I did a few of those and then I had a large hiatus off it and enjoyed it as a viewer. I think I deleted the app a few times this year, because I’d find myself up till 3 a.m. looking at memes. Only recently have I started posting again.2. What’s your process for creating TikToks? Where do you get ideas?I don’t and haven’t delved into the trends yet. I kind of just stick to my own and take little clips through the day, mash them together in smaller little clips and post those, it just depends on my mood.3. How would you describe your work as a designer?My work as a designer sees fashion more through a fine art perspective. I’m a thinker, so the pieces are meant to make you think, too. That’s something you’ll see through my collection. I’m excited for the release [this spring], it shows the spectrum of wearable to conceptual. I never see my dresses as work, rather more as fun. Making is something I love doing. It’s my form of self care, and I do a lot of that—so I have a lot of dresses.4. What fabrics or silhouettes do you often gravitate towards?I want clothing to be excessively large so the body doesn’t feel contained. The distance between fabric and skin is important. My favorite is the golden taffeta piece, it sits and moves well. The silhouettes are big and simple. What you get is what you get; I never sit and think about them, or draw up patterns for them. Few hours on the machine, a bit of trying and fixing, and it’s ready to go out the door.Fabric-wise, I gravitate towards whatever feels good to my hands. Sometimes you find a great color, but the fabric weight, texture, and feel isn’t right. I go off the weight of fabric a lot, that’s going to influence what kind of fall your dress will have the most. It’s important they walk well; that’s when the dresses come to life. My test is the spin—spin around in it, if it looks good, it’s good to go.5. How does your city inspire your work?London is expressive, and loud and sometimes brash, you get what you give in. It’s easy to feel like you are blending into the background in such a dense city, so it becomes imperative to stand out.6. Do you wear a lot of your own pieces?I’ve always also wanted my whole wardrobe to be just my clothing, and now it is. I do have other pieces from the years before, things here and there, but I find I always grab mine when I’m heading anywhere. Doesn’t matter if it’s Tesco or an event.7. What are people’s reactions to your fabulous outfits in the wild?People’s reactions are always warm, a real delight in London. I don’t think I’ve ever been out and not turned every head on a street. I feel more of that comes from they just don’t see people dressed like that. I don’t know why? I also find it comes from anyone at all, they don’t just please a certain gender or age range. I’ve had 5 year old girls say they want to have the dress, as well as a 68 year old who told me she’ll wear it to a wedding when she has it, and everyone in between.The funniest, although, was when someone sat on the street and I could hear her whisper, ‘I hate that dress I hate that dress I hate that dress,’ and as I came closer she shouted ‘I love your dress!’ Classic. The COVID-19 pandemic is by no means over, but more and more people are getting vaccinated by the day, with almost 17% of the U.S. population having received both doses. Combined with the news that vaccinated people are unlikely to carry or spread COVID-19, some vaccinated friend groups are beginning to return to something approximating normal.I’m overjoyed to be able to gather indoors with my friends again, but when one of them suggested an Easter brunch at her apartment, I balked. Not because of the religious connotations—I’m Jewish, but I love celebrating any food-centric holiday—or the stress of socializing again, but simply because the word brunch immediately struck fear into my heart. It’s been over a year since I made my way into a stuffy, overcrowded restaurant to eat rubbery omelets and chug down the obligatory bottomless mimosas, and to be honest…I don’t miss it.While I would give anything to magically snap back to pre-COVID society, our new era will undoubtedly call for some reexamination of social norms. I can’t imagine ever getting on a packed subway train again without a mask (or, at least, not for a very long time), and the idea of staying out until 4 a.m. the way I used to fills me with dread. I hope that some of my crowd anxiety recedes and my joie de vivre returns as the threat of the pandemic lessens. But there are some things I’m more than happy to dispense with forever, and waiting in line (in line! The indignity!) for potatoes and eggs I could have made at home is definitely one of them.I’m far from the first or only person to hate brunch; Anthony Bourdain himself called it “a horrible, cynical way of unloading leftovers and charging three times as much as you ordinarily charge for breakfast,” and many chefs famously work brunch as a last resort. (As a former employee of a seafood restaurant with a weekend brunch special, I can confirm that nothing turns Brooklyn adults into whiny, shrieking toddlers faster than the idea that they might not get to enjoy their waffles and Bloody Marys at an outdoor table.)There were stories written about brunch hating as early as 2014, as well as 30 Rock jokes about the phenomenon way back in 2012, and I fully acknowledge that detesting brunch—or anything, really—is not a personality. Still, the tentative return of my social calendar is forcing me to restate something I never thought I’d have to say again: I do not want to get up before 11 for a meal. Ever. Especially when the solution is so clear—just do lunch! It’s all the fun and socialization of brunch, minus the rush and table competition and occasional hangover-induced misery.Imagine the promise of a Sunday without brunch: You get up at whatever hour pleases you, pour yourself some coffee and cereal in the privacy of your own home, read the paper, take a shower, and eventually make your way over to your friend’s house or an outdoor restaurant for a U.K.-style Sunday roast. You don’t actually have to roast anything—you can fully order takeout Thai—but the convivial English spirit will persist nonetheless, particularly if you down a few beers with the meal. You return home tipsy, refreshed from the warm bath of social interaction, and too full for dinner. (Will you wake up ravenous at 2 a.m. and polish off your roommate’s packed lunch from the fridge? Maybe, but that’s their problem.)I’m not an anti-breakfast-food hard-liner by any means—I am a warm-blooded mortal, after all—and I truly can’t wait to make Julia Turshen’s everything-bagel hand pies for my friends this Easter Sunday. But I take great comfort in knowing that we’ll be enjoying them in the relative privacy of one of our apartments at 2 or 3 p.m., well after the long shadow cast by brunch has passed us by. If you refuse to take my advice and insist on heading out for an Easter brunch this year, don’t forget to tip at least 20%. (Sorry to be preachy, but if you can’t afford the tip, you can’t afford the meal!) I’ll be wishing you the best of luck in the avocado-toast trenches. At tonight’s SAG Awards, there was no traditional red carpet—meaning all normal fashion rules were off. Even so, stars still embraced classic glamour this evening, dressing up from their homes in elegant gowns and suits. But there was one star who went in a different direction: That would be Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, who embraced gothic sophistication instead.In a look styled by Aimée Croysdill, Coughlan slipped into a lacey black gown by Christian Siriano that lent a more dark, romantic feel to the night. With its floor-length hemline and draped shoulder line, it was dramatic, while not being too much. She accessorized the dress with Jimmy Choo heels and De Beers jewels, for a glitzy, awards-season-appropriate finish. Delightfully spooky for a big night? Morticia Adams, eat your heart out.

With its floor-length hemline and draped shoulder line, it was dramatic, while not being too much. She accessorized the dress with Jimmy Choo heels and De Beers jewels, for a glitzy, awards-season-appropriate finish. Delightfully spooky for a big night? Morticia Adams, eat your heart out.

It’s memorable. And there’s a new emerging designer who is using this approach to her advantage. That would be Yashana Malhotra (@outofyourgaze), a fashion student who is using the sidewalks of London as a way to make her bold, extravagant frocks be known.Malhotra is a 25-year-old fashion designer and artist who is currently finishing up her womenswear studies at Central Saint Martins. On her TikTok page, which she launched in 2019, Malhotra shares videos of herself sitting on the subway, popping out for flowers, or just posing on the streets in her handmade dresses, which always turn heads. Why? Because they often are voluminous, featuring beautiful, full skirts and puffed shoulders—in other words, not your everyday sweats. “My work as a designer sees fashion more through a fine art perspective,” says Malhotra of her aesthetic. “I love big dresses. I want clothing to be excessively large, so the body doesn’t feel contained.”For Mahotra, wearing her epic designs in a more casual setting is a natural approach to dressing (she says she feels her most “powerful” in them). But she also sees the power in how doing so can familiarize people with her work, and she has become quite accustomed to people stopping and staring. “I don’t think I’ve ever been out and not turned every head on a street,” she says, adding that the gawking comes from all ages. “I’ve had 5-year-old girls say they want to have the dress, to a 68-year-old who told me she’ll wear it to a wedding when she has it—and everyone in between.”Below, Malhotra discusses what inspires her work, what fabrics or silhouettes are her go-to signatures, and how people react to her wearing it.1. What made you want to start creating on TikTok?My brother was after me to post my drawings on TikTok, so I did a few of those and then I had a large hiatus off it and enjoyed it as a viewer. I think I deleted the app a few times this year, because I’d find myself up till 3 a.m. looking at memes. Only recently have I started posting again.2. What’s your process for creating TikToks? Where do you get ideas?I don’t and haven’t delved into the trends yet. I kind of just stick to my own and take little clips through the day, mash them together in smaller little clips and post those, it just depends on my mood.3. How would you describe your work as a designer?My work as a designer sees fashion more through a fine art perspective. I’m a thinker, so the pieces are meant to make you think, too. That’s something you’ll see through my collection. I’m excited for the release [this spring], it shows the spectrum of wearable to conceptual. I never see my dresses as work, rather more as fun. Making is something I love doing. It’s my form of self care, and I do a lot of that—so I have a lot of dresses.4. What fabrics or silhouettes do you often gravitate towards?I want clothing to be excessively large so the body doesn’t feel contained. The distance between fabric and skin is important. My favorite is the golden taffeta piece, it sits and moves well. The silhouettes are big and simple. What you get is what you get; I never sit and think about them, or draw up patterns for them. Few hours on the machine, a bit of trying and fixing, and it’s ready to go out the door.Fabric-wise, I gravitate towards whatever feels good to my hands. Sometimes you find a great color, but the fabric weight, texture, and feel isn’t right. I go off the weight of fabric a lot, that’s going to influence what kind of fall your dress will have the most. It’s important they walk well; that’s when the dresses come to life. My test is the spin—spin around in it, if it looks good, it’s good to go.5. How does your city inspire your work?London is expressive, and loud and sometimes brash, you get what you give in. It’s easy to feel like you are blending into the background in such a dense city, so it becomes imperative to stand out.6. Do you wear a lot of your own pieces?I’ve always also wanted my whole wardrobe to be just my clothing, and now it is. I do have other pieces from the years before, things here and there, but I find I always grab mine when I’m heading anywhere. Doesn’t matter if it’s Tesco or an event.7. What are people’s reactions to your fabulous outfits in the wild?People’s reactions are always warm, a real delight in London. I don’t think I’ve ever been out and not turned every head on a street. I feel more of that comes from they just don’t see people dressed like that. I don’t know why? I also find it comes from anyone at all, they don’t just please a certain gender or age range. I’ve had 5 year old girls say they want to have the dress, as well as a 68 year old who told me she’ll wear it to a wedding when she has it, and everyone in between.The funniest, although, was when someone sat on the street and I could hear her whisper, ‘I hate that dress I hate that dress I hate that dress,’ and as I came closer she shouted ‘I love your dress!’ Classic. The COVID-19 pandemic is by no means over, but more and more people are getting vaccinated by the day, with almost 17% of the U.S. population having received both doses. Combined with the news that vaccinated people are unlikely to carry or spread COVID-19, some vaccinated friend groups are beginning to return to something approximating normal.I’m overjoyed to be able to gather indoors with my friends again, but when one of them suggested an Easter brunch at her apartment, I balked. Not because of the religious connotations—I’m Jewish, but I love celebrating any food-centric holiday—or the stress of socializing again, but simply because the word brunch immediately struck fear into my heart. It’s been over a year since I made my way into a stuffy, overcrowded restaurant to eat rubbery omelets and chug down the obligatory bottomless mimosas, and to be honest…I don’t miss it.While I would give anything to magically snap back to pre-COVID society, our new era will undoubtedly call for some reexamination of social norms. I can’t imagine ever getting on a packed subway train again without a mask (or, at least, not for a very long time), and the idea of staying out until 4 a.m. the way I used to fills me with dread. I hope that some of my crowd anxiety recedes and my joie de vivre returns as the threat of the pandemic lessens. But there are some things I’m more than happy to dispense with forever, and waiting in line (in line! The indignity!) for potatoes and eggs I could have made at home is definitely one of them.I’m far from the first or only person to hate brunch; Anthony Bourdain himself called it “a horrible, cynical way of unloading leftovers and charging three times as much as you ordinarily charge for breakfast,” and many chefs famously work brunch as a last resort. (As a former employee of a seafood restaurant with a weekend brunch special, I can confirm that nothing turns Brooklyn adults into whiny, shrieking toddlers faster than the idea that they might not get to enjoy their waffles and Bloody Marys at an outdoor table.)There were stories written about brunch hating as early as 2014, as well as 30 Rock jokes about the phenomenon way back in 2012, and I fully acknowledge that detesting brunch—or anything, really—is not a personality. Still, the tentative return of my social calendar is forcing me to restate something I never thought I’d have to say again: I do not want to get up before 11 for a meal. Ever. Especially when the solution is so clear—just do lunch! It’s all the fun and socialization of brunch, minus the rush and table competition and occasional hangover-induced misery.Imagine the promise of a Sunday without brunch: You get up at whatever hour pleases you, pour yourself some coffee and cereal in the privacy of your own home, read the paper, take a shower, and eventually make your way over to your friend’s house or an outdoor restaurant for a U.K.-style Sunday roast. You don’t actually have to roast anything—you can fully order takeout Thai—but the convivial English spirit will persist nonetheless, particularly if you down a few beers with the meal. You return home tipsy, refreshed from the warm bath of social interaction, and too full for dinner. (Will you wake up ravenous at 2 a.m. and polish off your roommate’s packed lunch from the fridge? Maybe, but that’s their problem.)I’m not an anti-breakfast-food hard-liner by any means—I am a warm-blooded mortal, after all—and I truly can’t wait to make Julia Turshen’s everything-bagel hand pies for my friends this Easter Sunday. But I take great comfort in knowing that we’ll be enjoying them in the relative privacy of one of our apartments at 2 or 3 p.m., well after the long shadow cast by brunch has passed us by. If you refuse to take my advice and insist on heading out for an Easter brunch this year, don’t forget to tip at least 20%. (Sorry to be preachy, but if you can’t afford the tip, you can’t afford the meal!) I’ll be wishing you the best of luck in the avocado-toast trenches. At tonight’s SAG Awards, there was no traditional red carpet—meaning all normal fashion rules were off.
