Narendra kumar turning to films

Bollywood fashion designer Narendra Kumar, who has styled clothes for Madhur Bhandarkar’s upcoming film “Fashion” and plays a bit role in it too, has another ace up his sleeve - designing the line for the Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Aladdin”.

The Mumbai-based designer is upbeat about his role in “Fashion”. Kumar, who shot to fame after designing outfits for John Abraham in “Babul”, said “Aladdin” would showcase some more of his creativity.Kumar said he doesn’t agree with the idea of showcasing or including “weird clothes” in the name of fashion and creativity.

There are designers who design weird outfits but they remain in the cupboards of people and can’t be worn. What is the use of such creativity which can be of no use to people?, obliquely hinting at Rohit Bal and Manish Arora’s collections. His collections are as stylish as iphone is and yet full of utility.

Kumar, who teaches at various fashion training institutes like NIFT Mumbai, said though youngsters possess tremendous potential, there is a dearth of trained faculty members.

Well, we wish to see more of his work in films.
