Hello everyone my name is Aaina Mehta and welcome to what's in my wardrobe? A show
wherein we give you a closet tour of your favourite celebrity.
For today's episode we have someone who translates her
fashion game through her brand and
she has an innate love for it. She's feisty, fierce and
absolutely fabulous. She's none other than my favourite Seema Khan.
Come in.
Hi .
Hi.
Lovely to have you, welcome to Pinkvilla.
Welcome to my closet.
I would want to ask you some questions before we start.
Sure, please shoot.
So, the first thing I want to know and I’m super curious about is you have been off the
spotlight for 20 long years and now suddenly with fabulous and like you know your social
media you're getting a little more out there so what was the change that took place and you
decided to you know put yourself out there?
I mean now I’m doing it the change has come because the Fabulous Lives of Bollywood
wives’ kind of fell in my lap it's not something I planned or I went out there to kind of
you know looking for that line of work that's not my line of work. Now it's become but
Instagram of course what is not on Instagram it’s the world of
Instagram according to me everyone is in the spotlight.
That's true.
You know I was going through your Instagram and I just realised that there is no part of
fashion you haven’t tapped into you're into bling, power dressing, subtle colours, neutral
colours, so tell me something that the closet speaks about yourself?
What you see here is a collection of 25 years plus there are pieces that I’ve had for 20 years,
there are pieces I’ve taken from my mom that are like 40 years old. I am very possessive
about my things and I’m very loyal to them so yeah I think you know what you see here is a
reflection of my personality I’m a very unpredictable person, very and I thrive in chaos and
it's everything is a mood with me so it just depends on what mood you caught me in so it's all
a mix. These are all my jackets some of them, some of them spill over to that side so this is
something recently that I bought but I love the cut, it's got girls
I buy a lot of clothing and I then need to manufacture inners to go with
it because I’m like okay how am I going to wear this but whatever I love it.
But the material I think satin is the new cool it's like trending so much everywhere
I love the colour.
Yeah, it's a beautiful colour yeah.
Did you know green is the new black apparently?
This is one of my favourite black dresses it looks like a
dress it’s a shirt dress but actually it's a romper.
Oh
It's a playsuit. I have to also tell you like at this point in my life I think as when I was younger
as a lot more impulsive I was a impulse buyer, I was a hoarder but as of you know recently
I’ve realised the implications of consumerism on you know that that it's happening on the
planet and I’ve actually been consciously trying to make an effort to kind of be aware of what
I’m buying. I’m revamping my whole business module, my structure of my fashion label and
I’m going into more sustainable fashion. I’m going to make an effort because it’s something
I’ve been kind of thinking about and now also I love to shop I’m not denying it but I’m more
conscious and let me tell you one thing I love window shopping also I love it like if you take
me anywhere I’m traveling it’s mostly I could be walking from like 9am to 9pm and I’ll buy
one thing but I’ve enjoyed myself for me it's like a thrill you know it's like
That's what I’m doing right now in my head with your closet.
Okay I can actually show you this so this I bought in LA and it's by a girl who actually makes
it again out of waste but like you can see I went to skulls and grunge.
That's my new vibe.
Do you have any costume that you've kept from the show as a memory?
Costume, I’ve kept t-shirts.
I am obsessed with like I said crop t-shirts, listen am I supposed to say this because
I kind of flicked it I told them I lost it but the truth I kept it
Yeah so, I think I wore this don’t remember in which scene but I love this tee
We saw you're wearing a lot of tees.
Distressed, anything faded, anything this is like the current vibe yeah so this is my collection
of sunnies which I’m very passionate about I’m sure
you've observed I'm obsessed with sunglasses this was gifted to me by Karan Johar.
I think he thinks that I can carry it off and I think I can they're
very like a style statement but
Even if you're wearing a basic and you wear this
Yeah, I mean I can, the more Ott the better for me to know how much of this I should be saying.
So, like this from here I know it's weird but it's like I’ve had it
for like I can't remember when I bought it, I think before my kids were born
What is it I’m trying to figure it out?
I honestly the only reason I picked it up with I said no I have to understand how is this worn
so it’s meant to be worn like this over at-shirt but like I said I
can be not only bonkers when you see me in the show but also in my closet.
And you take do you take the most time to get ready as well?
No, no, no not at all that crown goes to Neelam and Bhavana not at all I can’t bear it yeah
Maheep is the fastest I can't be as fast as her but I’m pretty quick.
Jackets is another thing I love like I have I cannot I mean jackets for me are a no brainer
Bling again
Again, everyone laughed at me when I bought it. Are you performing onstage? Are you going to
a show? And let me tell you I have worn it I wore it for Amu’s 40 th and I completely kicked
out of it and then everyone wanted to know where I got it.
And talking about jackets we saw recently on your Instagram
you've stolen one of Nirvan's jacket do you do that often and
He's not in town. You see he’s not in town. I sent my maid and I said, this jacket, he had sent
me a picture. I showed her and said get this jacket. He is not there.
And I posted it he's like, hello, mom is that mine yeah, I like you not anymore now it's your mom
Yeah, it’s a very quirky jacket and there's so much
It's actually very Ott but like I am Ott
This drawer is all my resort that kind of accessories and this
drawer is all my little bit more formal accessories
But between these two this is my favourite drawer
And a favourite piece over there, do you have any?
This is a piece I don't know you know branded it's I’ve called it's by the
apartment but I absolutely loved it I’ve not really worn it too much I’ve only maybe worn
it once or twice it's like it’s an outfit by itself
Yeah
It's like that so the whole thing just covers
These are pieces that I’ve actually made myself like
beadings you know and I have worn them let me tell you like I’ve actually made this
I lowkey feel like taking this home it's so pretty
So, I’ve actually given one to Malaika I made one in red and that one I gave her she
absolutely loved it and I think I posted it a few years ago we
went on a holiday and she wore it with her resort wear
This is one-piece I actually recently posted it on Instagram
and everyone asked me where is this jumpsuit from again it's vintage
It's like I was i had a very late night before I was going for an event to Delhi and I had to be
up at like 7 00 a.m. and I was out till like 2 o'clock in the morning so I came in the night
morning I packed my bag every morning I just pulled out this one thing and I didn't even take
a chance I have confidence level I have reached then its fit
me but it's about again 20 years old
Now moving ahead to every girl's favourite part, I can see
shoes, heels and bags so let’s see what you have in there
Again, I’m telling you this is a collection of many years like people think it's actually over
the years let me tell you this is when in your 20s, in your 20s you do this, then in your 30s
you come a little lower, finally this is what you do in your 40s let me tell you so many pairs
that you see here are decorative and also because like I said I don't party they're going to go to my niece
And which would be like your all-time favourite heel or sneaker?
Heels my all-time favourite currently I’m crushing on this there's can you see because the
heel height is low, this pair, I can actually do they are Sofia Webster but I and they're kind of
neutral now they go with black, white, anything, colours I can really do this well like
My sneakers are my pride and joy like I love them these again are gifted to me by my dear
friend Tanya Deol yeah, we share a lot of stuff.
Are you very big on makeup as well like or are you like a no makeup, makeup person?
I have lots like all the Kim K palettes and all but secret I hate wearing makeup lipstick
I never wear. Even on the show they're like please can you wear this colour like no, lip balm
just give me the lip balm I’m actually not very big on makeup I mean I like my moisturiser
I’m huge on skincare like all moisturising, moisturising, glow cream, BB creams, you know I
use a lot of this new organic stuff you know the pandemic
how many people actually making organic you know makeup I’m loving it.
That’s actually really you know insightful to know I’m sure it's something new that your
audience is taking away today from you and I know a lot of girls also who are not very big on
makeup but are big on skincare I am one of them so I totally relate to you.
And of course, there was a time I mean when college days I used to have very dark you
know those colours what was it that Kiss Of Death lipstick you know it looks like you
come out of the morgue like the brown pasty colours I said what was I thinking? Never again.
But this I have to tell you is one of my favourites, it was gifted to me on my birthday and it's my
favourite bag because of the whole boho vibe and I think it's a statement piece
And my all-time favourite which I have to show you is my vintage this again was my mom's
she bought it when she was, dad bought it for her when she was in her 20s and now it's mine.
It's kept so well I can see you like all the pouches and everything they know I’m in all of my
staff also knows and nobody's allowed to touch it I have to do this myself so they all go
back in their pouches but you can see, you can see like it's a little bit worn but these are like
my vintage pieces which are my most treasured pieces. So my dear friend Vipul Shah I’m sure
you've heard of him king of boho bags and many things
boho all of these are gifted by him to me I mean he said sweetheart keep sending me bags
And now we've come to the end of our episode, we just have this fun little segment that we've
planned for you. So we did this Q&A on our Instagram where we asked your fans to ask a few
wardrobe related questions.
Oh.
So, we have them curated in this bowl. Okay, itz_anjum_20 says, the first purchase from your income?
You know what I’m very sad but I gave it to my cousin, a dear cousin of mine but it was a
nylon Prada backpack which is now very much back in fashion and I want to kick myself but
listen about that income part let me tell you one thing little bit was donated by my father truth be told.
I couldn't afford the whole thing.
Lavendargurl.4 says, who according to Seema has the best dressing sense from her friends?
My friend Tanya, Tanya and I have very similar taste like all my friends whether it's Maheep
or whether it's you know Amu anyone they all dress really well.
I'm surrounded by cool chicks.
Next is _dibya_ says, did you ever buy two pairs of something because
you liked it so much just so that you don't run out of it?
Okay so as a rule I never buy two of anything, I find it a waste and I’m very loyal to my
things and like I showed you I have things that are very, very old even if you ask me where a
pair of scissors are I have the same black scissors since the last maybe I don't know how
many years it's lying in its place there's no twos for me.
Shrutiankurmehrotra says how often do you repeat your clothes?
I repeat my clothes all the time I think we’re living in an age of Instagram where everyone
feels the need to you know change their outfits and like I said earlier now it's becoming more
of a conscious effort on my part that you know what I mean I’m trying to control my
shopaholic in me I’m being more conscious of what I buy I honestly I take great pride in repeating my clothes.
And last two questions we have s. hotchandani says top three luxury bags?
Luxury bags
Listen what is luxury there's no such thing
Even a Vipul Shah is luxury
A Vipul Shah, I don't have his tote here it's lying somewhere up but this according to me is a
luxury bag I mean it's so cool you can you know wear even with Indian clothes it
looks so nice and even on the beach or if I’m wearing a black dress or a white outfit or even
if I’m just if I were to wear this and put on these shoes of mine which are my current
favourite so cool I mean I think I’m dressed no yeah fully
This of course which I’ve already showed you and can you see the condition of my day bag?
Just see how it's thrown there full of you’ll find chap sticks, you
will find sanitizer and you'll find mask and yeah
But it's a lovely customised yeah it was again a friend of mine gave this to me.
Lovely friends I want these friends
I have I am telling you I have the world's best friends and family and actually they know me.
Now last question we're taking is saniya_ali says, most impulsive buy or your most regretful buy?
Okay listen you know what I’m being mean these I bought these in New York with a friend
of mine and honestly, I’ve never won them this is never ever it was an impulsive buy and also
when I came home, my sister looked at me and she said what were you thinking? She was like
Everyone who knows me know I’m not so girly
This is so nice
They're very pretty but I’m not this girly, bows and me don't work, they just don't go together.
So, you are not into frills and all
There was a time I was younger it was all about the bows but I’m not in school anymore
but see this they're cute but no this pair again was impulsive I absolutely love them again
what was I thinking? Because it’s like punishment you'll have to take me on a stretcher
Can we just show the camera the heels?
What do you mean? I can't even stand one shoe, I can
Can I do one shoe at a time?
They are beautiful, they are gorgeous shoes absolutely last worthy but they are for my shelf
my Tara will get them when she grows older.
Just look at the heels guys it's bigger than my palm
Again, what was I thinking?
With this we come to the end of this episode, I would just like to
say thank you so much for doing it.
Thank you.
