New Delhi [India], November 18: From South Asian rituals to global runways - inde wild's latest launch reimagines the slick-back as a symbol of beauty that connects heritage and high fashion. To debut the new Champi Slick Stick (INR999), inde wild continues its winning streak with powerful storytelling, with a campaign starring supermodel Elsa Hosk and founder Diipa Buller-Khosla - where global fashion meets the heritage behind the slick-back.
Inspired by active movement and high-performance beauty, the campaign celebrates women who live life in motion, seeking long-lasting style, effortless maintenance, and real hair health benefits as they go through their several roles in a single day.
Shot through a modern sport-style lens, the visual story brings together Scandinavian minimalism and South Asian heritage, a powerful reminder that sleek styles and strong hair belong to everyone.
A GLOBAL FACE FOR A GLOBAL STORY
Supermodel Elsa Hosk is the face of the Champi Slick Stick is a reflection of inde wild's global spirit, where stories connect across cultures. Known for her effortless Scandinavian cool, she represents how timeless rituals evolve and travel. Paired with Diipa, she brings the story full circle, from South Asian roots to worldwide adoption, proving that beauty is strongest when worlds come together.
Elsa added, "There's something really inspiring about what's happening with beauty in India right now, with the rituals and storytelling. It's thoughtful, it's intentional, and it's all about how something makes you feel, and that is where beauty thrives."

RECLAIMING THE ORIGINAL SLICK BACK
The slick-back may be trending everywhere as the "clean girl aesthetic" from runways and red carpets to gyms and clubs, but its roots run deeper than that. For generations, South Asian women have used Champi hair-oiling rituals to create smooth, glossy, nourished buns adorned with jasmine and temple flowers, referenced even in ancient Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita.
Now, inde wild brings that ancestral strength into the modern beauty world, powered by Ayurveda, backed by biotech, and styled by icons. Elevating the slick back experience to what it was always meant to be: a protective style with strength and repair at its centre.
"This campaign is about bringing worlds together," adds Diipa Buller-Khosla, Founder and CEO of inde wild. "The slick-back has travelled from South Asian homes to global runways and back, and today it's become a style that belongs to everyone. With this campaign, we're connecting its roots and its evolution - marrying high-fashion style with the ancient strength philosophy it was rooted in for the modern woman on the go."
