There&#039;s the one the audience sees - the lights, the models, the finished look. And there&#039;s the one that happens an hour earlier, in a cramped backstage room where dozens of artists are racing against the clock to make that finished look possible. \r\nShabana Subhani&#039;s career has spanned beauty, fashion, content and creative direction - with backstage becoming one of the most important chapters of that journey. Today, she leads it.\r\nAs founder and creative director of Backstage Beauty Collective (BBC), the London-based entrepreneur has built a business around a part of the fashion industry most people never think about - shaped by years of hands-on experience, not a business school textbook.\r\nShe Didn&#039;t Plan for the BBC. She Noticed a Gap.\r\nSubhani doesn&#039;t describe her entrepreneurial journey as a lightning-bolt moment. It came from years of quietly observing how backstage beauty teams actually function - often under pressure, often understaffed, and often missing the one thing she felt mattered most: structure built around people.\r\n&quot;Great backstage beauty requires much more than technical skill,&quot; she explains. &quot;It needs leadership, communication, preparation, teamwork - and an environment where people feel respected and valued.&quot;\r\nThat observation became the blueprint for BBC -  a creative platform bringing together beauty direction, structure, talent and community, positioned around creative direction and backstage beauty production rather than makeup services alone.\r\nBuilding a Career Later in Life - On Purpose\r\nWhat sets Subhani&#039;s story apart from the usual founder narrative is timing. She built Backstage Beauty Collective in her 40s, after already navigating separate chapters as a creative, a content creator and a mother.\r\nRather than treat that as a late start, she treats it as the reason the business works. &quot;Starting something new in my forties taught me that ambition doesn&#039;t have an expiry date,&quot; she says. &quot;You don&#039;t have to have everything figured out at 25, or follow somebody else&#039;s timeline.&quot;\r\nProof of Concept: Asian Bridal Fest UK 2026\r\nBBC&#039;s credibility didn&#039;t come from theory - it came from delivering at scale. Subhani served as Beauty Creative Lead – Backstage for Asian Bridal Fest UK 2026, coordinating beauty direction across a production with around 40 models, multiple designers, and a full team of artists working simultaneously. \r\nThe experience, she says, tested every part of her approach: preparation, communication and the coordination needed to keep a large production moving without losing quality.\r\nShe&#039;s since expanded into education as well, launching BBC&#039;s first Runway Beauty Masterclass in London alongside Modest Fashion Week London - a session built around the parts of the industry rarely discussed publicly: leadership, professionalism, and what actually happens in the hour before a show starts.\r\nHer visibility has grown alongside the business. In 2026, she was recognised as Best London Influencer &amp;amp; Blogger at the Chaand Raat celebrations, later earning a nomination for Creative Director &amp;amp; Beauty Innovator of the Year, and an invitation to the House of Lords for a gathering celebrating women in business.\r\nWhy &quot;Collective&quot; Isn&#039;t Just a Name\r\nSubhani is deliberate about language, and the word &quot;Collective&quot; carries weight in how she runs the company. It&#039;s not built to center one founder - it&#039;s built to distribute opportunity\r\n&quot;I don&#039;t believe another person&#039;s success takes anything away from mine,&quot; she says. &quot;If someone receives an opportunity, makes an important connection, or grows because they were part of something we created, I see that as a success for the BBC too.&quot;\r\nThat philosophy shapes how she brings emerging artists into productions alongside established professionals, treating mentorship as part of the business model rather than a side project.\r\nWhere BBC Goes From Here\r\nSubhani is candid that BBC is still early in its story. Her plans include expanding across more fashion weeks and creative productions internationally, while growing the education side of the business through additional masterclasses and mentoring programs.\r\nBut she&#039;s equally clear that scale isn&#039;t the metric she&#039;s chasing. &quot;Growth for me isn&#039;t simply about doing more shows or becoming bigger,&quot; she says. &quot;It&#039;s about becoming better, more established, and more valuable to the people and productions we work with.&quot;\r\nHer Closing Thought\r\nAsked what she&#039;d want readers to take away from her story, Subhani doesn&#039;t talk about beauty at all - she talks about permission.\r\n&quot;Don&#039;t underestimate what can still begin,&quot; she says. &quot;Sometimes the chapter that changes you begins much later than you expected... I&#039;m simply building the next chapter, one opportunity, one lesson and one brave decision at a time.&quot;\r\nFollow Shabana Subhani’s journey at backstagebeautycollective.co.uk, or connect with her on Instagram @backstagebeautycollective","articleSection":"Womentrepreneurs","datePublished":"2026-08-15T19:31:40+0530","dateModified":"2026-08-15T19:31:40+0530","inLanguage":"en-us","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"JR Choudhary","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/user/jrchoudhary"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Sangri Times Women","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/logo/logo_6aa8237dadae03-28361482.png"}},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/images/202608/image_1200x675_6a80702d2ba4c.webp","contentUrl":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/images/202608/image_1200x675_6a80702d2ba4c.webp"},"keywords":["Shabana Subhani","Backstage Beauty Collective","Fashion Week Beauty","House Of Lords Event","Runway Makeup","Beauty Industry Leadership"]}</script>

As a result, there’s a growing demand for guidance on how to present oneself effectively.\r\nA tête-à-tête with Image Coach Tina Singh Walia, who is a renowned Image Stylist, ICF Certified Life and Wellness Coach and a Certified Master NLP Practitioner.\r\nTina Walia’s approach to image coaching is rooted in a holistic understanding of the interconnected elements that contribute to one’s image – from wardrobe and grooming to body language and communication skills\r\nBy taking a personalized and comprehensive approach, she works closely with each client to identify their unique needs, aspirations, and challenges, and develop tailored strategies to help them achieve their desired image transformation.\r\nBorn in a loving and supporting family, Tina has come a long-way when she was called ‘Big Ethel’ as she was very tall, skinny, had a unibrow and cystic acne along with hirsutism (due to PCOS). Such issues really shattered her self-esteem. The icing on the cake was when she put on 14 kilos due to comfort eating during her 12th board preparation.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, she thought about spreading the message of empowerment loud and clear. Tina believes that every woman deserves to feel confident, successful, and valued, regardless of age or circumstance,\r\nFast forward on her 40th birthday, and she found herself pondering the next chapter. With the kids on the brink of leaving the nest, she decided to dive into the world of Image Management and Soft Skills Training, earning an international certification from ICBI. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of consultations, group trainings, and corporate gigs with big names like HCL Healthcare and IndiGo Airways. At 47, armed with certifications as a life coach and NLP practitioner, She is on a mission to empower women to embrace their potential, no matter their age. Because, let’s face it, life’s too short to let opportunities pass us by.\r\nTina believes that overall, as an image consultant, you play a crucial role in helping individuals and organizations cultivate a positive and authentic image that supports their personal and professional goals.\r\n“In an interconnected world where communication often transcends borders, individuals may seek image coaching to navigate cultural differences and present themselves appropriately in diverse settings, “reiterates Tina.\r\nShe further adds, “Image coaching is not limited to just personal appearance. There are specialized niches such as executive presence coaching, public speaking coaching, and digital image consulting, catering to specific needs and preferences of clients,”\r\nShe also enjoys a massive following on Instagram, where she tries to educate women about various aspects such as wellness, Image management via appearance, behaviour, communication and etiquette.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSpeaking about styling a corporate look, she feels, “Styling isn’t just about putting together a killer outfit—it’s an art form, a way of expressing yourself to the world. For my corporate warriors, I always recommend tailored pieces that scream professionalism—think blazers, sleeveless Nehru collars, and waistcoats. Stick to neutral colors, keep the makeup subtle, and opt for closed-toe shoes to seal the deal. And for my work-from-home queens, comfort is key. Co-ord sets, chic loungewear, and structured leggings are your best friends. Add a touch of polish with accessories like statement earrings or a printed scarf, and you’re good to go,”\r\nWhen it comes to styling her own looks, Tina always carries some essentials in her bag, “Compact powder for touch-ups, lipstick for a pop of color, and lip balm for hydration. And let’s not forget the practical stuff—a comb for unruly hair, hand cream for silky smooth hands, and sunglasses for those bright, sunny days. Toss in some reading glasses, sanitizer, and a few wet wipes for good measure, and you’re ready for anything life throws your way. They say I’m like Mary Poppins—always prepared for whatever adventure comes my way,”\r\nToday Tina balances her work-life along with home-life, “Balancing work and home life is a never-ending juggling act. Some days, work takes center stage; other days, it’s all about family. It’s like riding a seesaw—you’re constantly adjusting to keep both sides from tipping too far. But hey, that’s life, right? It’s all about finding that sweet spot of equilibrium, even if it’s a bit wobbly at times”, she concludes.\r\nOverall, the market for image coaches is diverse and continues to expand as individuals and organizations recognize the value of projecting a positive and authentic image in today’s society.\r\n ","articleSection":"Womentrepreneurs","datePublished":"2024-06-18T01:49:30+0530","dateModified":"2026-04-23T19:16:33+0530","inLanguage":"en-us","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"JR Choudhary","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/user/jrchoudhary"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Sangri Times Women","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/logo/logo_6aa8237dadae03-28361482.png"}},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/images/2024-06/18/exploring-the-diverse-journey-of-tina-singh-walia-reinforcing-individuals-through-transformative-image-consulting_1718655570-b.jpg","contentUrl":"https://women.sangritimes.com/uploads/images/2024-06/18/exploring-the-diverse-journey-of-tina-singh-walia-reinforcing-individuals-through-transformative-image-consulting_1718655570-b.jpg"},"keywords":["Tina Singh Walia","image consulting"]}</script>
