Excerpts from the interview:
How high was the excitement level for being the creative mastermind behind Nora x FIFA?
It was a month back that we got the confirmation of her presence and performance at the FIFA fanfest and thereafter the closing ceremony. This being a milestone for an Indian Bollywood actor, singer, and dancer to represent India at such a big level was super exciting for us all. Her look and outfits were to play a huge part and I was excited and proud to put it all together.
Representing India at an international platform in a middle eastern country with a few clothing norms, how did you prep to execute this delicate assignment? Was it challenging?
The beauty of working with Nora is that she’s a stylist’s and a designer’s dream. She can make just anything look insanely good. She moves like a dream, Cartier off almost anything, and looks ultra Hot and sexy. Therefore creating both her performance looks was a dream
Nora looked absolutely stunning in her scintillating Michael Cinco crystal dress. What was the mood board behind this look?
Her being at such a prestigious platform performing in front of billions of people we had to make sure the outfit and the look were impactful yet comfortable for her performance. Black being such a strong colour, the moment we saw this dress, we were sure this is it. I’d also seen this dress on Lady Gaga and it was such a powerful look, making it even more perfect for the occasion.
How did you manage to source and put this look together? Did you face any challenges there? In what time duration did you manage to pull this all together?
The timelines were quite tight and we had less than a week to prepare the entire look thus I flew to Dubai and met Michael at his atelier and when I saw this dress I couldn’t stop thinking about how stunning it’ll look on Nora. We had a few other options as well but this dress was it. We did the trials in Qatar and the moment she wore the dress, we all went gaga about it.
Which international celebrity would you wish to style?
Anne Hathway, Jlo, and Kim Kardashian
Celebrities are observed every minute. Sometimes, this leads to trolling and constant criticism for a particular look. Do such incidents affect you?
Thanks to social media trolling and criticism are something one can’t get away with. It’s good to hear different opinions, it leaves room for improvement as long it’s constructive criticism.
