Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe she stumbled into it.

Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Rashmika Mandana, Janhvi Kapoor. Some of India’s best dressed women have another one in common: Ami Patel.

Here is the story of a woman who became one of India’s most influential stylists―by accident. Told with depth, intensity and humour, The Accidental Stylist is a memoir set against the backdrop of fashion, creativity, spirituality and a rapidly changing world. But ultimately, it is about something far more universal: finding your place, learning to trust the unexpected and discovering that what appears to be an accident may in fact be designed just for you.

For anyone who has ever wondered if they are on the right path, this book shows that sometimes the detours become the destination. And sometimes the life you stumble into becomes the life you were always meant to live.

The Accidental Stylist is a reminder that the most important transformations rarely happen in front of the world. They happen within.
