At MM Personal Styling, we often witness personal transformations, and last week was no exception. One of our volunteers, Aarti Davè had the opportunity to step out of her comfort zone and be featured on our YouTube channel alongside two of her friends, Anita and Mandy in Body Shape Masterclass 30. Her experience was both eye-opening and empowering, and we're thrilled to share her story with you!
FACING HER FEARS
The night before the shoot, Aarti was gripped by fear. As a child, she was always the shy one and as an adult, she preferred being in the background. The thought of modelling clothes and being in the spotlight, knowing the video would be seen by millions of people all over the world, was a massive undertaking for her. She felt exposed to judgment with nowhere to hide.
EMBRACING THE EXPERIENCE
On the day of the shoot, our Aarti and her friends modelled fabulous clothes chosen by Melissa and our talented styling team. The entire experience was, in her own words: "an absolute blast" and personally enlightening for her. Here are some key lessons she learned from stepping into the spotlight with MM Personal Styling:
Putting herself out there for the world to see was daunting, but she no longer has a dominating fear of being seen and judged. It’s incredibly liberating!
Being her true self on camera highlighted the importance of authenticity. In a world where social media often feels staged, authenticity truly stands out and connects with people on a much deeper level.
Representing older South Asian women felt incredibly rewarding and empowering for our Aarti. It’s not often she sees people like her represented on mainstream fashion platforms, and this experience made her proud to showcase their diversity.
Leaving her comfort zone led to a rewarding experience filled with new self-discoveries and opportunities for personal growth. Sometimes, the most fulfilling experiences come from stepping into the unknown.
Accepting who she is, just as she is, and being less self-critical was truly freeing. There’s immense power in owning who you are, flaws and all.
"I arrived unsure as to why they wanted me there. I’ve left with so much more than amazing styling tips and tricks. I’ve realised that it’s never too late to learn, grow and try something new.I wonder what I should try next?!"
