EEVERYTHING'S POSSIBLE

Ace costume designer Veera Kapur Ee has worked on the wardrobes for films like Piku, Pink, Hindi Medium, October, Bulbbul, Gulabo Sitabo, Sardar Udham, Jhund, Darlings, and Maharani. The latest film that has been the talk of the town is the Anvita Dutt directorial Qala. This was her second collaboration with Anvita Dutt and Triptii Dimri post Bulbbul. She won two Filmfare Awards consecutively for Gulabo Sitabo and for Sardar Udham. In an exclusive conversation, she talks about all things fashion and why marrying fashion to films gives her an inexplicable joy.

YOU’VE WORKED IN DIVERSE GENRES. TELL US YOUR PROCESS OF UNDERSTANDING ERAS, CHARACTERS, AND STORIES

I put in a certain basic amount of research into all my films because I enjoy that part of referencing, looking at real people, and looking at characters. My favourite genre is period films because they give you a chance to go into the past and look at things for which you may not have too many images sometimes. I love creating and visualising something and taking it to the next level. Doing movies of different genres is what keeps you engaged in the process. It keeps you interested. I do not want to do one kind of film, I want to do different things, things that keep your brain cells active. 

WHICH FILM WOULD YOU SAY HAS BEEN THE HARDEST FOR YOU IN TERMS OF SOURCING AND PUTTING THE LOOKS TOGETHER?

Sardar Udham. It was one of the toughest films because there were so many people, so much to do and so many locations. Almost everything was made. I wouldn’t say tough, but I would say it was challenging.
