Race drawn huge response for the fashion

rawn huge response for the fashionable One of the most awaited films this year is Abbas-Mustan’s multi starrer Race. Set amidst horse racing and betting in South Africa, the promos of Race which are currently on air have drawn huge response for the fashionable yet edgy look of the film. We spoke to Anahita Shroff Adajania, who was given the job of giving each of the six stars a look of their own but yet look a part of the entire ensemble.

The entire film has a very rich look to it. The money and style shows but its all very understated. As a stylist my job was to make each of them look like they knew exactly what was in fashion and on the ramps but still give them each their own distinct identity. And so we shopped and picked up things from everywhere. The entire world was my shopping complex!

Saif is extremely open to suggestions. The main aim was that his clothes were bespoke. He plays an extremely successful businessman who doesn’t go shopping for himself because he simply doesn’t have the time. He probably has a tailor sitting in London at the Saville Row whom he calls and says I want six more suits and they swiftly arrive. He is your dream businessman. We didn’t want to go typical either so if you see the colours that he wears are very avant garde. The ties that he wears in the film are extremely expensive - brands like Etro, Gucci, Ferregamo. And his glasses are Alexander McQueen and are very Saif in real life too but he wasn’t allowed to wear them anywhere else till the film releases!

Bipasha plays a model in the film so she dresses fashionably but there is a street edge to it because that’s the way models dress. Models might wear their favourite top and then mix it up with a pair of designer jeans that they bought on a high street in New York. Like Bipasha might wear a Cartier watch but she also wears chappals on that we which got from Colaba causeway for 50 rupees! We also styled her hair to be very long because I find that there is a certain edge to it. She has a very strong character in the film… like she isn’t what we call feminine at all!

Katrina plays Saif’s assistant/personal secretary in the film. She is again very strong but also very feminine. So she wears fitted silk shirts with slim slit skirts which are high waisted. She works for a highly successful businessman and travels with him so she knows that is happening fashion wise in the world.

Sameera plays a mole in the film who works with Anil Kapoor who is an inspector. She is what I would call the modern day ditz… you know someone who matches every thing. She thinks that her shoes should match her hand bag.
