That metallic tracksuit you see? We had to test the fabric for reflection under extreme studio lighting and ensure it held up during intense stunt sequences. When you are planning a look, always perform the 'movement test'—if the talent cannot run, jump, or sit comfortably, the costume needs a rethink before we ever reach the camera. The glamour of a finished shot is the final 10 percent of the work. The other 90 percent is managing logistics, sourcing, and constant communication with the director to ensure the visual language is consistent. ### The Reality of Film Styling When I designed the wardrobes for 'Crakk', every piece had a purpose. A puffer jacket had to be light enough for a stunt performer to move freely in, while still looking textured and high-fashion under the Poland lighting. We spent days coordinating with international crews to ensure that the costume's color palette popped against the environment, not just in a static fitting room. ### My Process My work on set involves three distinct stages: * **Conceptualization:** Reading the script to understand the character's background. Is this person wealthy? Are they struggling? The clothes should tell their story before they speak a word. * **Technical Fitting:** This is where I look for issues like jacket bunching, trousers riding up while seated, or fabric friction. I use body tape and expert pinning to make sure the silhouette stays perfect, no matter the action. * **On-Set Continuity:** A shoot is a long day. My team and I are monitoring the monitors for every take. If a collar flips or a strap twists, we are there to fix it immediately. Whether it is an action movie with metallic tracksuits or a TV drama requiring elegant sarees, my goal remains the same: to help the talent embody the character through what they wear. The goal is to make the styling invisible so the audience sees only the person, not the costume. ## About Anushka Tugnait I'm Anushka, and to me, styling is all about building genuine connections with the people I dress.
