SURILY GOEL

Creative deadlock: "It’s a very natural thing. Just give yourself time and space, things start getting better."
His Muse: "My wife because she’s got everything, she handles her personal and professional life very well. It is a challenge to dress up a normal person than a model."

ADARSH GILL

The look for the woman of 2008: "Women will use fashion to highlight their confident persona."
RAVI BAJAJ
Inspiration: "Fashion for me is ‘tangible’, so only something very physical can inspire me to create something physical."
Creative deadlock: "We have to come up with ideas 'on demand', which is not easy. The best way to deal is to analyse the situation and then work for it, don’t run from it."
His muse: "Anyone who has natural and personal sense of style."
He envies the creativity of: "Oh...there are many, especially the international designers."
Look for the woman of 2008: "She is a combination of feminity and dare. She can be ‘coy’, ‘in-your-face vulgar’, but not someone shy."
ROHIT GANDHI & RAHUL KHANNA
Inspiration: "It can come through travel, meeting new people or things that happen around us."
Creative deadlock: "For a designer, the creative deadlock can be compared to a writer’s block. An innovative idea keeps you going."
Their Muse: "Keeps changing every season keeping the look of our collection in mind."
They envy the creativity of: "It is very difficult for everyone to bring out new things every season, so we appreciate talents of all."
Look for woman of 2008: "She is a working woman who has very little time and wears what can be carried from the day to the night. She picks up classic pieces and puts them together in her own individual style."

She envies the creativity of: "There is no creative comparison."
Look for woman of 2008: "I design for a woman who is aware of fashion and yet not a victim of it."
