Padma Lakshmi: “I’m going through perimenopause, Krishna is going through puberty. It’s a lot of female energy”
For Padma, these living room performances and the cinema evenings with her daughter have become a new way of seeing herself as a mother. It made her realize that she could be something beyond a simple strict caregiver and disciplinary, as had been the case in the tight Tamil family in which she had been raised. She remembers the advice of one of her aunts, first, who said to her once: “Yes, you have to say to Krishna to clean her room. But don’t forget to show it yourself.
Turn off the words of his aunt healed something long unrelated to Padma. “When Krishna was young, I would put old YouTube videos from Tina Turner Dancing,” she recalls. “Having an excuse for going down these rabbit holes was so fun because I did not always have time to do these things by myself. So now, I make it my duty to do them with Krishna and, in the process, end up experimenting them too. It is one of the best parts of being a parent.”
Our relationship with each other is most of our lives “, Krishna presents himself,” but a large part of our bond comes from us in creatively synchronization. Now that Krishna has long been on the stage of the tin microphone, Padma helps its racing lines for school games. Lemon rice together. Make both.

But an area in which it comes with important advantages? The enviable collection of the archival fashion of her model from the 1990s and 2000s, which the teenager admits joyfully to make a descent at will. This revelation is receive with another lovingly exasperated sigh from padma, who wryly points out that in keeping with the great tradition of teenage girls sneering at their mothers’ Wardrobes, krishna had to be told by oters that the closet in her mum’s closet Velvet follows from Tom Ford’s Gucci Era and the Metallic Snakeskin Minidress that padma wore to a Tatler Party in 2003 – was extremely cool. The shoes that Krishna has today? The Isabel Marant Wedge sneakers who had gathered dust in the Padma closet for two decades before suddenly becoming the hottest trend among the Nostalgic generation for 2008. The tee of vintage ringtone that she carries? Initially worn by Padma in 1995 during a guerrilla fashion fashion show for the Streetwear X-Girl brand, orchestrated by no one other than Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze, who diverted the sidewalk just outside Marc Jacobs’s show to stage something similar to a stroke of the city center. “My mother’s entire closet is a fashionable capsule of fashion,” Krishna’s emergence.
