With
his
guy-next-door
looks,
Shayan
Munshi
has
won
a
lot
of
hearts
around
the
nation.
He
featured
in
Aryans
indipop
song
"Yeh
hawa
kehti

kya" and
was
also
liked
in
the
film,
Jhankaar
Beats.
Shayan
has
walked
the
ramp
for
international
designers
like
Calvin
Klein
and
many
more.
He
shares
his
fashion
mantra
with
us.
Where
do
you
mostly
shop
from?
Mostly
Dubai
and
London
,
when
I
am
traveling
on
work.
I
seldom
shop
in
India,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
kewl
stores
in
Bandra.
I
often
visit
Tommy
Hilfiger,
Nautica
and
Atria
mall
as
it
has
some
good
shops.
Any
particular
reason
why
you
shop
in
Mumbai
as
well?
Good
variety,
lot
of
options
and
most
importantly,
by
the
time
a
collection
from
abroad
is
brought
to
India
it
becomes
very
expensive.
And
it's
not
worth
shelling
out
so
much
when
you
know
it's
not
worth
it.
Any
specific
brand
you
prefer?
I
like
Diesel,
the
fit
and
shades
are
amazing
and
it
fits
me
well.
There
is
a
new
brand
of
footwear
in
the
market
for
monsoons
called
Crocs,
I
think
that
the
range
is
very
stylish
and
perfect
for
the
monsoons.
I
am
very
sporty,
so
I
love
wearing
a
lot
of
sports
apparel,
shorts
and
cargos.
Do
you
prefer
adorning
yourself
with
accessories?
Yes,
I
am
very
much
an
accessory
guy.
I
pick
up
a
whole
lot
of
stuff
when
I
am
traveling.
Silver
rings,
bone
lockets,
coconut
shells.
And
sunglasses
are
a
must
while
travelling.
Diesel,
Gucci,
Cavalli
have
some
amazing
glasses.
Which
brand
do
you
prefer
for
your
footwear?
I
keep
experimenting,
wearing
chappals
and
slip-ons.
I
like
alligator-style
leather
shoes.
I
am
a
huge
fan
of
the
Canadian
brand
Aldo.
What
is
Shyan
Munshi's
definition
of
fashion?
Just
be
yourself,
and
if
you
can,
find
a
combination
between
your
personality
and
dressing.
And
stick
to
it.
Which
perfume
do
like
most?
I
guess
Davidoff
cool
water
is
good.
Euphoria,
the
new
fragrance
by
CK,
is
also
amazing,
and
so
is
Ice
Man
cologne
by
Thierry
Mugler.
Any
particular
diet
you
follow
during
monsoons?
Nothing
special,
I
just
avoid
seafood,
like
crabs,
prawns
etc
during
monsoon
as
it
might
invite
cause
diseases.
Which
brand
of
underwear
do
you
prefer?
Calvin
Klein.
What
according
to
you
are
essentials
in
a
wardrobe?
Jeans,
a
nice
watch,
and
a
pair
of
shoes
that
can
go
with
jeans,
cargoes,
as
well
as
semi-formals.
Basically,
it
should
go
well
with
all
kinds
of
wear.
And
a
solid
colour
t-shirt
is
a
must-have.
Which
brand
of
watches
impresses
Shayan
Munshi?
I
am
not
the
kind
of
person
who
would
spend
lakhs
on
a
watch,
because
I
don't
have
that
much
money.
I
feel
Tommy
Hilfiger
has
some
nice
collection.
My
wife
has
gifted
me
this
Citizen
Navy
Hawk;
it's
amazing
but
also
complicated.
Are
you
a
gizmo
freak?
Not
much.
I
have
only
what
is
needed.
What
gadgets
do
you
possess?
A
DVD,
Video
Cam,
and
an
I-pod.
What
is
your
most-priced
possession?
My
1953,
speed
twin
motor
bike.
