Ashley
Rebello
is
not
an
unknown
name
in
the
film
industry
or
fashion
circles.
In
the
circuit
for
15
years
and
having
worked
with
the
likes
of
Shahrukh
Khan,
Aamir
Khan,
Aishwarya
Bachchan,
Mallika
Sherawat,
Sushmita
Sen,
Karisma
Kapoor,
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Sonali
Bendre
amongst
others,
Ashley
is
now
busy
collecting
bouquets
for
his
work
in
Jaane
Tu
Ya
Jaane
Na
that
is
creating
a
fashion
storm.
The
apparels
have
been
loved
by
one
and
all
with
the
school
and
college
going
crowd
lapping
up
his
designs.
Ashley
admits
that
it
was
fun
dressing
up
the
youngsters
for
Abbas
Tyrewala
directed
Jaane
Tu
Ya
Jaane
Na.
Recollecting
the
times
when
he
started
working
on
the
designs,
Ashley
reveals,
"It
was
great
dressing
up
Imran,
Genelia
and
other
members
of
the
film's
cast.
The
idea
was
to
play
it
simple
without
going
overboard.
The
challenge
was
to
not
have
anything
overtly
plain
to
being
flashy.
A
lot
went
into
designing
Imran's
look
but
a
sweetheart
that
he
is,
he
was
a
complete
sport
to
whatever
I
gave
him
to
wear.
He
never
came
with
an
impression
that
he
is
working
in
his
uncle's
film
so
he
could
behave
as
a
star.
He
surrendered
himself
completely."
How
about
Genelia?
"For
her
I
had
to
design
two
contrasting
looks",
says
Ashley,
"As
you
would
have
certainly
noticed,
when
she
is
hanging
out
with
her
friends,
she
is
casual
with
a
layered
clothing.
She
wears
young
tops,
capris,
slacks,
the
stuff
that
a
college-goer
is
made
of.
However,
when
she
is
out
in
a
formal
gathering
(remember
the
scene
where
she
goes
out
with
her
finance
for
the
first
time),
she
wears
long
gowns
with
an
entirely
different
hairdo
and
makeup.
I
had
to
try
something
new,
different
yet
girlish.
The
transition
that
comes
in
her
also
had
to
be
demonstrated
gradually
through
her
clothes."
Ashley
goes
on
to
add
that
when
it
came
to
Nirav
Mehta
and
Karan
Makhija
(the
guys
who
play
Gujju
and
Rotlu),
he
had
a
blast.
He
could
go
casual
as
well
as
slightly
flashy.
Basically,
it
had
to
go
as
per
the
mood
that
the
characters
found
themselves
in.
On
the
other
hand,
for
Alishka
Varde
(Boms),
he
made
sure
that
in
line
with
her
lovey-dovey
persona,
she
carried
the
color
pink
with
her
throughout.
Any
regrets?
"Well,
Renuka
Kunzru
-
the
girl
who
plays
Mala
(Gujju's
girlfriend)
-
has
a
constant
complain
that
the
jeans
I
designed
for
her
could
never
be
seen
by
the
audience",
smiles
Ashley,
"Even
though
she
appears
in
quite
a
few
scenes
at
the
airport
throughout
the
film,
only
her
black
top
is
seen.
Most
of
her
shots
have
been
in
close-ups
due
to
which
only
upper
half
of
the
body
is
visible.
Maybe
if
I
work
with
her
again,
I
will
insist
with
the
director
that
he
captures
her
in
frames
that
project
her
entire
attire!"
