Gavin Miguel has dressed Bollywood divas like Priyanka Chopra, Kareena
Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, but designer Gavin Miguel opinions that among
all the ladies, Bipasha Basu outshines when it comes to experimental
dressing.
She will surprise everyone with her new look in forthcoming film
"Pankh", he predicts.
"She gives me complete freedom when it comes to dressing her up. She
is very experimental and tries to change her look in every movie. The
best part is that she carries herself so well that everything looks
good on her," Miguel said.
Miguel is styling Bipasha for Sudipto Chattopadhyaya's "Pankh", in
which she plays an imaginary character. The designer admits that he
initially had thought Bipasha was "broad-framed", but his perception
changed after working with her.
In fact she has lost a lot of weight, Bips is now looking svelte and sexy.
The Mumbai-based designer says Bipasha's look in the movie would be a
total surprise package.
The designer has been in the industry for over 10 years now but he
hogged the limelight with Madhur Bhandarkar's "Fashion" in which he
dressed up the three leading ladies - Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut
and Mugdha Godse.
"Yes, it gave me exposure, but fortunately people in the industry knew
me already because I let my work speak for me. I make customised
clothes and whosoever I dress up, they buy my clothes and this is my
major source of income," Miguel quipped.
Miguel had also dressed Tabu and Priyanka Chopra at the recently held
54th Filmfare awards.
Besides "Fashion", the designer has showcased his work in movies like
"Road", "Kaante", "Dhoom", "Dhoom 2" and "Drona", among others.
Surprisingly, Miguel, who is over 30 years old, hasn't participated in
any of the fashion weeks as he believes there is a right time for
everything.
"Participating in fashion weeks will surely happen but only at the
right time," he said.
His work, he says, is his passion and he believes that bonding with
one's client is very important while dressing them up.
"Understanding your client and bonding with them is the foundation of
this business. You need to have a good rapport with them. The other
important thing is that you have to understand their body type,
understand their personality and then design accordingly," Miguel
explained.
"It is similar when we design for a Bollywood movie. A lot of hard
work goes into every single dress because we have to keep so many
things in mind," he added.
