We know curves are in and fashion gurus now suggest you flaunt them rather than camouflage. Talking about ways to flaunt them the right way now, is stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania in the latest season of Style & The City (SATC) on Fox life. The season three of the series will have the stylist, who worked as a costume designer for films like Cocktail, Dhoom 2 and love Aaj Kal, styling Bollywood divas like Malaika Arora Khan, Huma Qureshi and Tisca Chopra. Considering Anaita has a long association with Bollywood, we assume she was well-versed with the personal style of these women.
“But this show is more than about their personal style. It is about telling the women out there, through celebrities like Malaika, Tisca and Huma, how to celebrate their curves,” said Anaita. She added that in the last few years women have become more confident in the way they carry themselves. “It is heartening to note that we are learning to embrace our flaws and there is a huge emergence of ‘individualism’ in fashion. Women are more fashion conscious now and most of them are experimenting with their looks. In such a scenario, we are here to just guide them on how they can better their look,” said Anaita.
Apart from her, other designers on the show this time will be Neeta lulla, Nishka lulla, Nikhil Thampi, Raakesh Agarvwal and Kunal Tanna styling celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Rana Daggubati, Rajkummar Rao, Kirti Sanon and Sana Saeed. Raakesh sounded super excited to share that he got to travel quite a bit for the show and he finally visited Kingdom of Dreams.
He has created an outfit taking an inspiration from the place. “I wanted to combine fantasy with Bollywood. Plus I made sure that there is a strong Indian element in the garment. Somehow I never got a chance to visit KOD but finally I did to do my research for the outfit. The garment that I created is in shades of gold with the sari drape presented as a gown,” shared the designer.
The other destination that he visited was Hauz Khas Village for an interesting activity. “I asked the visitors to share their palm imprints on a piece of cloth that has been used to create the garment,” he added. The most exciting part for him was to style Neil Bhoopalam. “Neil is very particular about what he wears. He does not like too many colours in what he chooses to wear so it was a big risk to design something inspired from truck art for him. Surprisingly, he just loved what I created and combined that with his own style. It was great fun to be working with him,” said Raakesh.
