# Why We Collaborate With Celebrity Stylists
A stylist sees clothes differently than most of us do. They're not just picking out an outfit — they're building a look, piece by piece, thinking about how a silhouette moves, what a shoe does to the line of an outfit, and how the smallest details end up carrying the whole picture. That's the perspective we wanted at the table when we set out to build our celebrity collection at Tao Paris, and it's why we've worked with two of the sharpest eyes in Indian fashion styling: **Seema K Sajdeh** and **Sanam Ratansi**.
## What a Stylist Brings to a Shoe Collection
Designing footwear is one thing. Designing footwear the way a stylist thinks about it is another. Stylists work backstage, on set, and on the red carpet — they know exactly what a shoe needs to do under real conditions: hold its own against a heavy lehenga, disappear quietly under a tailored pantsuit, or become the statement piece of an otherwise minimal outfit.
That real-world, outfit-first thinking is what both Seema and Sanam brought into their respective collaborations with us. It's the difference between a shoe that simply looks good in a product photo and one that's actually been considered from the perspective of how it will be worn, styled, and remembered.
## Seema K Sajdeh: An Eye Trained on Personal Style
Seema K Sajdeh (Seema Khan) has spent years in and around Indian fashion, first as one of the industry's most consistently well-dressed personalities, and later as a designer and entrepreneur in her own right. Her sense of style has always leaned toward the effortless — pieces that feel considered without feeling overworked. That instinct shaped **Wanderlust by Seema K Sajdeh**, the collection she co-created with Tao Paris, built around versatile, elegant footwear designed to move easily between occasions.
She's currently getting a fresh round of attention as a wildcard contestant on Prime Video's reality show *Alliance*, where her presence on screen has reminded a new audience of the same qualities that made her a go-to style reference in the first place: confidence, consistency, and a point of view that doesn't chase trends.
## Sanam Ratansi: A Stylist Who Thinks in Details
Sanam Ratansi has built her reputation styling some of the industry's most photographed personalities, known for pairing outfits with exactly the right accessories — never over-decorated, never under-finished. That instinct for restraint and detail carried directly into the **Tao Paris X Sanam Ratansi** collection, which spans heels, flats, wedges, and gladiators designed with the same finishing eye she brings to a red-carpet look.
## Two Collaborators, One Shared Standard
What ties both collaborations together isn't a celebrity name on a label — it's a genuine point of view about how footwear should work within an outfit, not just alongside it. That's the standard we hold every Tao Paris collection to, celebrity-designed or not.
Both collections are live and shoppable on the Tao Paris website.
