Shaleena Nathani has a polished palette that oscillates between minimally chic to high-end style statements. She marries the two seamlessly as has been showcased in the lookbooks of A-listers namely Deepika Padukone, Kiara Advani, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Kartik Aaryan and Shah Rukh Khan to name a few. Having Deepika Padukone on her speed dial is what sartorial dreams are made of. And together they make a winning combo like no other. The latest addition to her stellar portfolio is the splash she's made with her styling in Pathaan. Its wardrobe has definitely grabbed eyeballs. Taking street style glam for a spin, Shaleena has brought back uber-cool '90s trends such as crop tops, chequered prints, cargo pants and denim shorts. What's more, she's taken it a notch higher with an array of boots that's definitely a conversation starter. Excerpts from a candid conversation with the talented fashionista.
Did you always plan to get into celebrity styling?
I am grateful for Anaita Shroff Adajania. I do not come from a fashion background and I started my internship with her. I started off styling celebrities with her and going on shoots with her. What was great is that I came in knowing nothing, just having an amazing passion for clothes. I got to meet interesting people and I have made some of my best friends doing this. To be honest, it is not something that I thought I wanted to do. But I don't think I could be more grateful for being able to do what I do right now.
Tell us about your big break in this field.
Pathaan was a huge break into the industry. I have done films, and it has always been with Anaita or someone else. I have always been a little scared of it because it kind of intimidated me. When you have a film with Deepika and Shah Rukh, two of my favourite people, I don't think I could've gotten a better opportunity.
