What is fashion to you?

I think fashion is fearless and it should set people free.

Which sport has the best dressed athletes?

Tennis, where you can play around with shorts and dresses. I personally like Maria Sharapova바카라™s style and also Usain Bolt바카라™s.

Which male celebrity you think is best dressed?

Ranveer Singh has a personal identity and a quirky, outlandish sense of style.

Which celebrities would you love to dress up?

Rihanna and Beyonce. And Michelle Obama.

Do you have any favourite team and players in the IPL?

Well, I like the Chennai Super Kings and Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a batsman. When it comes to bowlers, I fancy Lasith Malinga.

Do you expect the WICL jerseys to catch on like IPL jerseys have?

The intention is to give importance to women in a male-dominated sport. You can do much where fashion is concerned. We hope it catches on.

Factors you바카라™d keep in mind while designing for a competitive sport?

We바카라™ll have to work backwards as we await the guidelines. We바카라™re working with a local manufacturer in Australia and while we can바카라™t play with the fabric, the textures or the cuts, we can work on the caps, armbands and training gear.

Which colours are picked for the franchises?

We바카라™re still waiting on the franchises, what they stand for. The owners may also have ideas.

Which other projects can we look forward to?

This year we바카라™re focusing on collaborations, like home decor and crockery. We also have Masaba Lite, which offers a cheaper version of products, and accessories and nightwear.

One outfit in your wardrobe that you keep coming back to?

My ripped jeans바카라”now tattered, but I love them.
