The concept of discovering fashion through travel is interesting, says Rocky S. 

From Goa to Chennai, celebrity designer Rocky S explores a range of style scapes in Season 2 of the famous TV show Style & the City

For a change, Rocky S abandons the comfort of his swanky studio and hits the streets in search of style. As Style & the City returned to the small screen (Fox Traveller, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 p.m.) the Mumbai-based designer whose creations are a staple in the wardrobes of Bollywood celebrities, talks about the show and exploring new markets, craft traditions and sensibilities as he travels from Goa to Chennai. Joining him this season are designers Nikhil Thampi and Shantanu & Nikhil, besides well-known names from the swish circuit Shilpa Shetty, Kalki Koechlin, Harman Baweja, Richa Chadda and Yami Gautam. A quick five with Rocky…
What made you return to Style & the City?
It’s the challenge of creating styles from the very foundation of Indian culture. There’s a thrill in travelling to various local and historic markets in search of an inspiration. The concept of discovering fashion through travel is interesting as every place has so much to offer in terms of art, culture, textiles, architecture and craft. It’s a combination of all these that help me develop an inspiration and take it to the final stage.
There’s a line-up of Bollywood personalities in the show. To what extent does celebrity style come in?
The stars provide the designers with a brief of the style they want to wear. It’s the designer’s job to understand that and come up with choices based on their exploration of different places. We have to make something that not only suits the stars but also fulfill the purpose of the show — which is throwing light on the finer points of our destinations. A new dimension to the show is that the stars share a special memento, something that has an emotional resonance to their lives, with the designers and we are supposed to weave that as well into the creation.
Since the show will cover West and South India, can you tell us what you liked about these regions as a designer?
Each region is distinct. There are various techniques in terms of weaving. When you get into the nuances of textile traditions, it’s so interesting. From the hand-woven Kunbi saris of Goa to the rich silks of Chennai and Kancheepuram, this is a fascinating journey. Sawantwadi and Pune are in the itinerary too.
This is a different experience compared to work in your studio. What’s it about hitting the streets that you like most?
The experience of understanding street style in terms of accessories, textures and drapes is truly memorable.
The viewership for style on the small screen seems to be growing. Many designers are experimenting with the medium…
Style & the City is an interesting concept wherein you travel to create. So yes, it does attract substantial viewership. It’s wonderful the way designers connect with viewers. Experimenting in terms of style, design and fabric and having an audience relate to it becomes much simpler on this platform.
Stars and statements
Here’s what Rocky S thinks of celebrities in the show and their style sense
Shilpa Shetty: Extremely feminine and classy
Kalki Koechlin: Youthful sense of styling, quirky and innovative
Harman Baweja: Streamlined and casual
Richa Chadda: Experimental
Yami Gautam: Subtle and individualistic


Cricket meets Bollywood as UAE welcomes Indian Premier League 2014 with open arms

Far away from the media spotlight, the Indian Premier League launched its seventh edition in glamorous style in UAE on Tuesday night.

  
      
Abu Dhabi:  MS Dhoni danced with Shah Rukh Khan, Shane Watson strummed the guitar, Virat Kohli performed a mock 'wedding' with a cut-out of good-friend Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone added spark to a glittering night as the Indian Premier League made a typically glamorous start in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday. With so much controversy around the tournament, the IPL chose to keep the event a 'private' affair and far away from media spotlight.

The Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi shone like a star on Tuesday evening. The players let their hair down ahead of a gruelling event that will see the world's best cricketers in action for almost two months.
 
After the spot-fixing scam erupted last year and the Supreme Court suspended BCCI boss N. Srinivasan, the plan to keep the blitz 'low-key' was understandable. After all, Sunil Gavaskar, the BCCI's interim chief (IPL affairs), wants IPL 7 to be remembered only for cricket, nothing else.
 
Shah Rukh, whose team Kolkata Knight Riders, play the tournament's first game against defending champions Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday night, was the lead man on the stage. He danced, he joked and the cricketers just had some great fun. The world got to know two big 'secrets' - that Watson is an accomplished guitarist and that Kohli and Anushka are 'walking' on the highway of love.
 
If the men are having fun, how can their lady loves be far behind. Wasim Akram, back as KKR's bowling brain this season, was seen with his Australian wife Shaneira and Cheteshwar Pujara walked in with his less-than-a-year-old wife, Puja. Sachin Tendulkar, looking dapper in a suit, blended effortlessly with India's most powerful industrial family, the Ambanis.
But the limelight was stolen yet again by Dhoni. His appearance alongside Shah Rukh and Deepika would easily have won the moment of the evening award, if there was one. The Chennai Super Kings' captain, under the scanner for alleged links with bookies, showed why he is called Captain Cool.
Cricketers and Bollywood, just like in the Eighties, took the desert by storm.
