It was Bollywood’s Shahid Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor’s fashion ‘Night Out’ in colourful clothing, cheery attitude and ‘Off-The-Cuff’’ one-liners that had their audience rocking with laughter, even as models swayed and sashayed in animal prints, stripes and a variety of designs and colours at the Marks & Spencer new ‘Spring Summer’ 2019 collections here recently.
Marks & Spencer, the iconic British brand with 71 stores across India, was highlighting its new range of stylish on-trend pieces for Indian customers, which were showcased by show-stoppers and celebrity ambassadors – Bollywood’s Shahid Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor – along with the other models in groovy, bold new looks and fresh silhouettes.
The Bollywood superstar was at his witty best as he described his attitude in clothing as “important to express yourself through work and clothes” and emphasized that “he would be taking home the beautiful modeling prints that he was wearing.”
To a question about fans following stars lifestyles and whether he followed anyone in this manner, Kapoor quipped “I follow 150 people for personal business or so,” and then smiled mysteriously as the crowd roared for more details. “I had no idea about my looks, which are defined by the character that I play – not by my likes and dislikes – in my films like Padmavat, Kabir Singh, as it’s not personal in any movie.”
“I hope I have evolved as I have made all sorts of fashion mistakes,” the filmstar smilingly admitted, while noting “Fashionable is being comfortable in who you are — rather than copying others – by expressing yourself, and in films we display what we stand for and carry it with confidence.”
Earlier, kickstarting the fashion event in revealing their latest collection, James Munson, Managing Director, Marks & Spencer, said that M&S is also encouraging customers to ‘Rethink’ fashion in their own styles by offering ‘in-store’ stylists assistance on hand in helping them to broaden their fashion ranges, while also overcoming their style dilemmas.
Describing India as one of the largest markets for fashion clothing, he said “The SS19 collections offered men and women modern silhouettes, colour palettes and prints for easy outfitting while helping customers to push boundaries through relaxed tailoring, animal and stripe-on-stripe prints.Rethink typifies the next phase of our development in India.”
Francesca Zedda, Global Head of Style & Trends, M&S, said in helping Indian customers to try out fresh silhouettes through playful prints and colour blocking with Rethink, M&S sought to help customers push the fashion boundaries.
