Even during the wedding you know
Katrina asked me "so how was it like to style Vicky?"
When he was doing Sardar Uddham he was like
His brief to me was that
I want to be in sync with the character because it's such a
Deep like such a serious film
And he called me and he was like
Amandeep listen I'm getting a National Award And you have to style me
He's like
A classic black tux
it's the most iconic thing
Tapsee is like this really headstrong very cool, modern
girl, she's
she's so clear in her vision
she can be someone who becomes this demure kind of housewife in Thappad
but at the same time, it's like badass cool girl in Rashmi Rocket
and at the same time, you can really like style her up and make her look like
look like this supermodel of sorts and sexy
Hello everyone My name is Aaina Mehta
And today I have someone with me who has created some amazing styles
in the world of Bollywood
Joining me in a conversation is none other than
AMANDEEP KAUR
Hi Hi
Thank you so much for doing this
And welcome to PINKVILLA
thank you for having me I'm so glad I could be here today
I really want to know how did fashion happen to you
I'm sure you always might have had a keen interest towards it
but how did you tap into it and make a career
and probably get into celebrity styling?
I knew I had to get into something related to fashion
Something to do with celebrities I had this hint I didn't know exactly what it was
And I heard of this course at NIFT called fashion communication
which had a lot of these exciting fields like fashion styling
fashion journalism, marketing, photography, hair & makeup etcetera
and I realised that that's it like this is what I want to do
fashion styling is something that is my core passion and that is what
i wanted to get ahead in life in
and after doing that for a few years I realised that
I wanted to be independent I wanted to be my own boss
I had worked with Yash Raj a couple of times with their talents and
so I approached them and I was like I'd love to
you know style one of your talents and Angira Dhar at that time was just
kind of stepping into
the industry and she had done Love Per Square Foot with Vicky Kaushal
And I styled her for the promotions and
Vicky was also looking for a stylist at that time and I styled him for one look
and... yeah that's where our journey began
And on that note let's come to the main part
we're going to look at some of
the best creations that you have had till date
This is actually the first time ever that Vicky had
worn an embellished tuxedo okay so
I always fight with him for red carpet situations where I'm always like
Let's experiment, explore, let's you know
explore a different colour let's explore a different style and
He's like a classic black tux is the most iconic thing like
look at Brad Pitt, George Clooney
Look at these people they don't experiment with style
it's okay I don't need to so you know
from within the black tuxedos that he needs to wear for the red carpets
I found this Manish Malhotra style really unique and interesting
it was all embellished kind of a blazer
I still remember this it's really close to my heart
this particular day and look
How did he agree to experiment
well this Vicky Kaushal is very different from that Vicky Kaushal
So Vicky has kind of a mood for every film but with Bhoot
he was
he was totally cool with experimentation and I was like okay let's bring on the
streetwear game on you and let's get oversized jackets to let's get like
big cargo pants and t-shirts that are really long and you know
very hip hop style
And I just like pushed him and gave him these tinted sunglasses
which is not really his usual vibes
this is the first time, I hope out of the many times that he was winning the
National Award and
I was in Bombay and he was in Russia he was shooting for
Sardar Uddham at that time and he called me and he was like
Amandeep listen I'm getting a National Award and you have to style me
and you have to think of something really
nice and elegant, and like you know me
And I was like okay so we thought
I thought doing the sherwani/achkan would be a great look on him
because you know this was Uri it had this whole nationalistic sort of
feeling behind it and who better in India than Sbyasachi so
I got a Sabyasachi quilted achkan and I flew with it and
we tried it the first time while he had to be present at the event at 9 o'clock so
we literally had like 2 hours between his first fitting session to the event and
I am so glad I'm so thankful
To God To him
to have agreed to explore this style here
So when he
when he was doing Sardar Uddham he was like his brief to me was that
I want to be in sync with the character because it's such a
Deep like such a serious film
So I really wanted to experiment with Indian elements
but at the same time, it couldn't look Diwali or Shaadi at all so
I got these like
cotton linen kurtas and you know
explored like different kinds of pant patterns which if you see
this is almost like a salwar inspired pants
and yeah so here you know it was like a bandhani treatment blazer
and there was a scarf tucked inside
then there's a slight like golden border on this
even here
so I kept the scarves really minimal and thin so it's not
adding bulk to him but at the same time it's adding that extra layer extra
element of India that I really wanted to bring in
I chose this picture because I feel like it was the coolest
along with his main wedding looks yeah
yeah this journey for me was very cathartic
it was really a beautiful journey because
he's really close to my heart and his family is really close to my heart
I was styling everyone not just Vicky for the wedding
And this was going to be a really special occasion
which is going to be memorable for the longest time you know so
I have to give him a lot of credit that he was not
one of those crazy grooms
who are panic-struck all the time
even during the wedding
Katrina asked me how was it like to style Vicky
did he have those moments you know like how bride & groom
need to know about each other that
what was it like were they getting the jitters
were they getting nervous yeah
and I was like,
he was the most chill groom of all times literally like
his aim was I want to party I want to have a good time
And so was my aim
so I was like once I dress him up I told him also
I was like once I dress you up
I'm going to have a great time
I couldn't have asked for a better
a more positive and calmer groom in life to style
I remember with Vicky like we were
on his wedding day, I was literally I was there and his brother was there
his best friend was there
and then the safa time people were there
so we were tying his safa and I was so emotional
I had tears in my eyes because I was just like
you're getting married you know
He was truly touchwood I really hope he remains this happy
he was truly happy he was just like so excited
I was just
surprised at how beautifully gracefully you know
went through the entire
Event. So sunny was Sunny's like the cool
fashionista of the house you know
he's really on point in his style game
So he's very like aware and evolved extremely opposite to Vicky
So it's a very interesting combination to style both of them
where one is like 'what is aqua? what is teal?' What do you mean by teal?
things like these
you have to like tell him whereas
this guy Sunny would use terms like
Oh I wanna salmon pink I don't wanna regular pink so you know
he wore a salmon pink Sabyasachi quilted
yeah
sherwani so
Styling him was a lot of fun because
he brings that challenge up like he really wants to explore and experiment
What is it like to style Tapsee?
Tapsee is a really headstrong cool modern girl
she's so clear in her vision
she just knows what is
Right! you know she's very righteous and at the same time
she's such a hard-working woman
I have never seen someone more hardworking than her
and when it comes to styling it's amazing how much
trust and faith she has in me which is
something I'm so grateful for you know like
I would give her anything and she would wear it
she is not one of those people who would be like
"oh I don't want to do this or I don't want to do that oh but
let's do this let's do that"
she has this immense trust in the people she hires or she works with that
they know their job
this was actually just after the first lockdown when things had eased down a little bit
she had gone for a film shoot in Jaipur
and she said
do you want to do fun like the creative shoot?
and I was like yes totally yeah
And this one in the bathtub
yeah this one-
it's a part of the same series
so we just went to where she was shooting
and I carried like a bunch of clothes and accessories
I feel like Tapsee has got such a
very versatile kind of a body and face where she
can be someone who becomes this demure kind of housewife in 'Thappad'
At the same time this badass cool girl in Rashmi Rocket
And at the same time, you can really style her up
and make her look like this supermodel of sorts; sexy
you know fierce and very bold etcetera So I feel like she's this
she's got a great body not an ounce of fat on her body
which is-
which is sadly but like truly is a gift for her stylist
because you know when you're trying to get into dresses which are model sizes that
designers make you know she easily slips into those dresses
Before we let you go we have a small segment which is called
NO MORE BREAKS ALLOWED
So who do you think looks really good in a really good suit!
VICKY
sorry if I can say that
Who can pull off a bad outfit with confidence!
And still look good in it
RANVEER SINGH
He's just someone who can pull off anything
Whose looks do you recently love? At the moment who's your favourite?
I feel like everyone's really upping their game
So you know it's really interesting that everyone's sort of exploring & experimenting
and it's hard to choose but DEEPIKA I feel like you know sort of wins
Hands Down
Shaleena does an amazing job with her
I think only
Deepika kind of takes the fashion game so high that it's almost international
you know like it is international
A person you haven't styled yet but you want to style would be?
SIDDHANT CHATURVEDI!
I'm like really craving to style someone who's
who's willing to experiment with colours, trends and like who's new age & fun
I'm going to give you a few names of your clients and
you have to tell me what they wouldn't wear
Okay!
So Vicky?
He wouldn't wear a fuchsia pink suit with flowers on them
I'm imagining that
Tapsee?
Tapsi would not wear
a latex legging and
bralette and
you know high heels and all of that
I feel like she's more like
interesting, quirky, practical kind of
power dressing girl
Yami?
Yami I feel
would not wear a very long gown
Sunny?
Sunny, I think would wear anything
Athiya Shetty?
Athiya Shetty I feel will not wear a baby doll dress
yeah, describe your personal style in 3 words!
My personal style is
relaxed, androgynous and...
Quirky!
What do you have to say when someone doesn't agree with
your sense of styling
I say that we are entitled to our own opinions and
each person has a different sense of style
so it's all right I mean especially when it comes to styling the particular person
they know better about themselves than anyone else
One thing Vicky would always love to wear what would-
White shirt and linen pants like linen shirt & line pants
he's always down to wear that
What about Tapsee?
Tapsee...
is always down to wear I think a white power suits like a blazer and pant sets
who is your fashion inspiration?
I feel Kendall Jenner looks really amazing and she does some really cool
high-end fashion stuff and I also feel like
she comes across as a nice person as well
you know of whatever interviews and behind the story sort of things that I've seen
and I feel like she's brought the whole supermodel era sort of back with
you know after the Naomi Campbell's and the
the biggies, I feel like there was a lull in between where
supermodels were not a thing and she sort of brought them back
Thank you so much it was lovely talking to you
Thank you
And hope to see you soon
