Style, sensibility extremely personal: Celebrity stylist Allia Al Rufai

New Delhi Aug 9 (IANS) Celebrity stylist Allia Al Rufai who has styled actresses like Deepika Padukone Anushka Sharma and Alia Bhatt says its not essential to follow someone s fashion as style and sensibility are extremely personal and everyone has their own unique take and opinion.

"Everyone is beautiful in their own essence. I think it s important to accentuate and work with being yourself. Taking a cue from celebrities helps to get an overall feel of a look as celebrities have the privilege of a large team behind them at times that puts some of their looks together " she told IANS.

She also says that everybody has good days and bad days and different moods it s human nature hence it s important not to take things to heart or too seriously.

"Style and sensibility is something extremely personal and everyone has their own unique take and opinion " she added.

Allia is now set to style the commoners with some of her best on and off duty looks she s created in collaboration with online-led fast fashion brand FabAlley. A brand synonymous with young and sassy girls who come with a whole lot of swag and style.

And she liked the idea of association.

"I like the idea of associations not everyone can have a piece of affordable clothing that has a twist or something special to bring to it as you see in many designer collaborations. I am happy for my association with FabAlley it s a fun way to change things up for a brand and bring in a new perspective " said the stylist.

Recalling her journey how she started the costume styling she said that she started out as an intern in the movie Fashion .

"The first Bollywood actresses I worked on the movie with were Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra. The exposure was great and I learnt a lot. Hard work dedication and sincerity have gotten me where I am in the industry today. That and being blessed of course " she said.

So any plans to write a tell-all book or make a film?

"No plans to write any book . I m the girl who does her work and then disconnects and goes home " she said adding that may be she will come up with her own interior line someday.

"My own fashion line ... never say never but I like being a stylist much more breaking down and crafting something beautiful from what designers create. I don t know how much I would enjoy designing. I like interiors though I may consider that down the line " she said.
