Welcome to my Trendie Life.

I’m India. Half French, half English, founder of Trendie.

Growing up between two cultures, two languages and two ways of being taught me early that you can hold two things at once. Ambition and enjoyment. Building and living. Moving with culture without losing yourself through it.

I spent my early twenties travelling, working with brands I believed in, and figuring out what it actually means to live well. Not the Instagram version. The real one. I was living Tasteful Hedonism long before I had the words for it. Trendie is what happened when I did.

Everyone has access to everything now. And somehow we are more lost than ever. We scroll more and feel less. We save restaurants we never go to. We book trips we do not enjoy. We build lives that look right and feel wrong. The problem is not a lack of access. It is too much of it. We need less trends and more taste.

Trendie is here to solve that. An uncompromising filter for how you live. This Substack is where I write about the things I notice, the places I go back to, the food worth sitting down for, and the ongoing practice of building a life you do not want to escape from. It is the standard I come back to when everything gets loud. It is here so you can do the same.

If you want to understand what Trendie is and why it exists, start with the manifesto.

Not everyone will get it.
If everyone did, it would just be trendy, not trendie.

Stay Trendie x
