At the Lakme Fashion Week in August this year, there were six new faces that walked the runway. One of them was Bengaluru’s Dechka Asthakumar, chosen from thousands of girls who applied. Originally from Coorg, she is also a biker and national-level basketball player. Here is her list of fashion must-haves that include black Jimmy Choo heels, blue Valentino jackets and more:

Cold call
One can never go wrong with a basic or not so basic LBD whether for a formal event or just a casual party. The Delia cold-shoulder ruffled crepe mini dress from Rachel Zoe is cut from black crepe and finished with ruffles for a dramatic effect. Rs.38,300 approximately
 

Leg up
A pair of fitted dark blue or black jeans is something I can’t do without. Dressed up or down, this daily basic sreves to accentuates your legs. This cropped ankle-length pair from Mother, is made from stretchable denim. Rs.23,720 approximately

Black spot
A statement black crop top is my go-to when I want something easy and comfortable. This top from Maje has a knotted detail in front and is made from black piqué woven with linen. Rs.12,530 approximately

Blue code 
A smart denim or leather jacket can elevate any day look. Valentino’s cotton-denim jacket is oversized, comfortable and has an interesting silhouette with harness straps at the back. Rs.89,616 approximately
 

Starry eyed 
I can’t do without my long-wear mascara. Even on a bare makeup day, this is my quick fix that makes my eyes pop. Wander Beauty’s Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara in Tarmac, which boasts peach leaf and walnut seed extracts, does a good job of thickening, coating and curling the eyelashes. Rs.2,660 approximately

Well heeled
I love black stilettos because they can add class and sophistication to any outfit, be it for a casting or a night on the town. Jimmy Choo’s Vanessa 85 is made from black suede and leather and features a pointed toe, ties in the front and cutouts. Rs.57,310 approximately
 

In the red
A pair of basic black boots adds sophistication and glamour to something as simple as a basic T-shirt-and-jeans ensemble. The rose-jacquard sock ankle boots from Dolce & Gabbana come with a tiered suede and gold-tone metal heels. Rs.60,538 approximately
