Watch the video to get a sneak peek of the class:
ELLE: What was it like shooting for the sneak peek video of the Myntra Insider Masterclass?
EA: It was so much fun and it felt different being on the other side of the camera and talking about what I normally would behind the scenes while styling.
ELLE: Can you share three quick tips for anyone shopping for festive clothing?
EA: Do your research. Know your colours as per your skin tone. Try different silhouettes. Don’t restrict yourself-only then would you know if a different style or trend actually works for you or not.
ELLE: What’s the best way to accessorise festive clothing?
EA: For women, chaandbaalis, kundan polki choker or a maang tika. For men, get your footwear right, be it cross-strap sandals or leather/suede shoes with or without lace; those are my favourites.
ELLE: What are some of the festive wear trends that anyone can wear?
EA: Cowl kurta, asymmetric plackets in bandhgalas and kurtas, pre-draped saris, and fusion wear. I love mixing silhouettes to create an interesting yet stylish look.
ELLE: What’s the one thing that one should avoid when dressing for a festive occasion?
EA: Being OTT is not bad as long as it’s done stylishly by combining the right things together. For example, a statement choker can be classy when worn without earrings.
ELLE: What’s the best thing about being a stylist?
EA: It’s an art form that’s fun. You don’t just create looks; you can create a persona. I love how spontaneous and creative my job gets.
