With a smile – and an origin story – to lift the mood, architecture graduate turned model-of-the-moment @BhavithaMandava is the essence of fashion’s heartening new spirit this season. As she makes her debut on the #BritishVogue cover for March 2026, head of editorial content @ChiomaNnadi discerns a welcome dash of optimism in the air as she sits down with the runway’s rising star. Click the link in bio to read the interview, and see the full story in the new issue, on newsstands Tuesday 24 February.
#BhavithaMandava wears a jacket and skirt by @ChanelOfficial and jewellery by @Chopard, photographed by @OliverHadleePearch and styled by @SarrJamois, with hair by @SamMcKnight1, make-up by @MelArter, nails by @ManicuredBySimone, set design by @Tomotattle and production by @Partner.Films.

A surgery, a heartbreak, juggling my campus job, modeling abroad, and back-to-back classes… and still, I made it.
I graduated from NYU and now have two degrees with a heart full of gratitude.
To my family, and the community I made in @idmnyu and @nyumakerspace thank you for believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself. Your love carried me through sleepless nights, long flights, tough semesters, and quiet moments of doubt.

This past week has felt like a dream I am still learning to believe. Everything around me is sparkling with a kind of magic I never thought would find me.
Two years ago, I left India for the first time with two suitcases, a heart full of hope and fear, and a massive student loan. I moved to New York City to study at @nyuniversity , to build a life I had only dreamed of. Somehow, in all its chaos, the city welcomed me.
Then, a year ago, at Atlantic Avenue subway station, my now agent scouted me. I said no, but we kept talking. When he mentioned I could pay off my student debt, suddenly no became maybe, okay, fine. Light poured in.
He sent my photos to @bitton , a woman who has opened doors for so many people of color in fashion.
Through her, I found myself in front of @matthieu_blazy . Since meeting him, the world feels brighter, softer, and full of possibility.
After my debut, I worked a job in the mornings, attended classes in the evenings, did homework at night, and flew to Europe every weekend to model. To everyone who supported me, from classmates and coworkers to professors, casting directors, creatives, my parents, and friends back home, I carry your kindness with me always.
My parents never asked me to chase the extraordinary. They only wanted me to find happiness and peace in simplicity. Somehow, the extraordinary found me.
I never imagined opening for such a prestigious brand as an immigrant and a woman of color. Thank you, @chanelofficial & @matthieu_blazy .

From watching the young students at the beginning of their journey walk alongside dancers who have spent years perfecting their art in the Défilé du Ballet, to the beautiful performances of Rings of Saturn, Vers un pays sage and Busk, the entire evening was truly poetry in motion.
If you’re visiting Paris or live here, I highly recommend experiencing the magic of ballet at Palais Garnier before this iconic theatre temporarily closes for renovations for the next five years.
Not an ad, I’m just a girl with good taste. 🩰

CHANEL has long stood as a symbol of the modern working woman in motion, a spirit I deeply resonate with and am proud to embody. Matthieu’s vision for the house brings a genuine sense of joy, thoughtfully balanced with reverence for its legacy. I’m truly honored to be part of this new chapter at CHANEL and to join as an ambassador for a house that holds a special place in my heart.

Moving out of Brooklyn, which I’ve called home for the last three years, feels like the end of a chapter. It shaped me in more ways than I ever imagined.
Before I go, I want to give a shoutout to the small businesses that made my neighborhood feel like home. These are the places, the people, and the everyday moments I’ll always carry with me.
>>>>>
Patel Grocery Retail & Wholesale made NYC feel like home, an Indian-owned grocery store with all the Indian ingredients and spices I needed.
📍 5303 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11220
I used to watch movies at Alpine Cinema, the oldest operating movie theater in NYC’s five boroughs. They offer $6 movie tickets every Wednesday.
📍 6817 5th Ave in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
Bought all my produce from Macareno Central, a Mexican-owned grocery store in the neighborhood. They also have the cutest Bodega cat ever.
📍 6810 4th Ave in Brooklyn
Most of my clothes are from Peace by Piece Thrift Store, a nonprofit second-hand shop that also offers community programs like ESL and crochet classes.
📍 6931 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11209
My weekends were spent doing laundry at Bay Ridge Launder Center, a Chinese-owned local laundromat.
📍 7007 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11209
Ate so many late-night snacks from this 24-hour corner store. It’s Pakistani-owned, and every time I walked in, I was greeted with a warm “Beti, kaisi ho?“
📍 6824 4th Ave, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY 11220
My neighbor gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl here. I loved watching her grow and miss her so much.
Experienced snow for the first time ever.
Home:)
Love live R train. #notsponsoredobviously
