The unconventional Q&A format of the book makes it an easy read while taking the reader through the various segments of style and glamour. With a foreword by ace couturier, Tarun Tahiliani, and stunning cover design/illustrations by Marangoni Istituto trained designer, Aniket Satam, Castelino’s racy style with quirky anecdotes and hilarious one-liners, makes Fashion Musings a great travel read or a relaxing bedside book.
