Deepika Padukone Launches Summer Edit At Her Closet For Mental Health Cause

Deepika Padukone has launched her latest collection, ‘The Summer Edit,’ through her sustainable fashion initiative, The Deepika Padukone Closet. The Bollywood star announced the new drop with a cheerful Instagram post, highlighting both the collection’s summer-ready aesthetic and its charitable purpose.

The collection features carefully curated pieces from Padukone’s personal wardrobe, described as “Breezy, effortless and made for sunshine!” According to her post, the Summer Edit includes flowy silhouettes and vibrant tops perfect for the warm season ahead.

What makes this fashion drop particularly significant is its purpose beyond style. Each purchase from The Deepika Padukone Closet supports mental health initiatives through The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLL Foundation), an organization founded by Padukone in 2015.

“Shop my favourites… and support a cause close to my heart!” Padukone wrote in her Instagram caption, emphasizing the charitable aspect of the initiative.

Despite her busy schedule as one of India’s most successful actresses, Padukone has maintained a consistent schedule for these wardrobe releases, noting that new drops occur on the third Thursday of each month. This regularity shows her ongoing commitment to supporting mental health causes through sustainable fashion.

The Deepika Padukone Closet represents a meaningful intersection of Padukone’s influence in the fashion world and her dedicated advocacy for mental health awareness. The initiative allows fans to own pieces from her personal collection while contributing to an important cause.

Padukone’s commitment to mental health advocacy stems from her personal journey. In March 2015, she broke her silence about her own experience with depression during a national television interview with NDTV. Accompanied by her mother, Ujjala Padukone, along with mental health professionals Dr. Shyam Bhat and Anna Chandy (who serve as chairperson and trustee of her foundation, respectively), Padukone’s candid disclosure sparked a crucial conversation about mental health across India.

This pivotal moment marked the beginning of The Live Love Laugh Foundation’s journey to champion mental health awareness and support. Ten years later, Padukone continues to use her platform to destigmatize mental health issues and provide resources for those in need.

Beyond her acting career and mental health advocacy, Padukone has been expanding her presence as a global fashion icon. The actress has been maintaining a high profile both in India and internationally, serving as a House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton and participating in their Fall-Winter 2025 campaign.

For those interested in supporting mental health initiatives through fashion, The Summer Edit is now available through the link in Padukone’s Instagram bio. The post also directs followers to thelivelovelaughfoundation.org/find-help/helplines for a list of verified mental health resources.
