‘Akshay Kumar is the biggest metrosexual star’

ESIGNER ROCKYS has clothed Bollywood star Akshay Kumar for eight long years and says the actor is the most stylish and metrosexual man around. “I really respect him for the way he has groomed himself.

He has become one of the biggest metrosexual stars, most stylish fashion icon and he is so successful that I am proud of him. Just look from where he has come and where he has reached,” Rocky told IANS.

However, he is no longer designing for Akshay. “I started designing for Akshay in 1992. But I stopped working with him in 2000 because I had to move on. Also, both of us needed to take a break from each other,” he added.

Unlike most other Indian designers who started their career by showcasing their collections at fashion shows, Rocky started his stint designing for Bollywood stars.

Currently Rocky’s clientele includes big names like John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Shilpa Shetty.

Rocky claimed: “The people I dress up are the best dressed. They have a great body to carry off anything and they have a good style of their own.”

Talking about the likings of his female clients, he added: “Shilpa likes deeper and rich Indian colours. She likes to wear emerald, she loves red and it really suits her. Even Bipasha likes red. Katrina likes pastel and lighter shades.”

His most recent project was Singh Is Kinng. He dressed Katrina in the fi lm and is also working with her in Yuvraj. Apart from that he has designed Bipasha’s clothes for Pankh and Kangana Ranaut’s for Raaz - The Mystery.
