Deepika Padukone played the southern belle in the hit movie Chennai Express. Many of you inquired about her looks, and now I can exclusively tell you that Manish Malhotra styled her costumes.
Malhotra studied the culture and street style of Southern India and that’s when the idea of the half sari was born. He tried as far as possible to use traditional fabrics,borders and interesting, vibrant colour combinations.
Pattu Pavdai – the quintessential south border detail was used extensively.
In terms of styling, he has kept it simple yet effective with detailed traditional accessories.
