According to pinkvilla.com, Alia says she was not much of a fashionista initially, but during the shoot of Student of the Year, in which she plays the role of a brand-conscious diva, she fell in love with the fashion world. However, the 21-year-old owes her fashion influences to Karan Johar. “Basically, Karan Johar has a great influence on me and he has a great fashion sense. He tells me when I am inappropriately dressed and when I am looking good,” adds Bhatt.
She credits celebrity designer Manish Malhotra for her fashion line inspiration, “I definitely look up to Manish and also because I had the privilege of working with him in my first film. Even today, he is very enthusiastic about his work; he changes his clothes and collections with time,” Alia told IANS.
The actor describes her clothing range as a reflection of her own self. “The collection is very simple, it’s very me. It’s a fall/winter collection. So there are lots of sweat shirts. It is very personal and special for me. I want everybody to enjoy this. A lot of importance has been given to animal prints as I love animals,” she said. On the film front, Alia is currently shooting for Shaandar with Shahid Kapoor.
