Pranay explains how a Milan street style blog evolved into Who Wore What When, capturing fashion's storytelling essence.

The name comes with a Milan story. One guest remembers living near the Metropole, where Dolce & Gabbana shows made the street outside almost as interesting as the runway. A roommate pushed him to start blogging, and Diary of a Camera began with street style photos of people arriving early in beautiful couture. The host keeps asking the useful questions: what the name means, how the work changed, and why celebrity styling is not the same as editorial styling. Their answer is refreshingly practical. Covers and editorials give them room to play, because the actor or model can become a character inside the story. Event dressing is more exacting. The look has to suit the purpose, the room, the people, the seating, and the public moment around it. Personal style matters there. The clothes should feel connected to the celebrity, not pasted on as a trend. Editorials give them a muse, which lets them build a bigger visual world. The first major celebrity moment comes through Vidya Balan, around 2016 or 2017, after work tied to Gaurang Shah and sarees in Delhi. The path sounds charmingly improvised: a store behind one guest's house, a known contact, and one simple reach-out. By the end, they sound worn out but happy. One guest just wants time at home, in the bedroom he lovingly designed, even while admitting the year has been fantastic.
