Tech talk with the Fashion Week fashionistas

On the sidelines of Lakme Fashion Week, we caught up with three fashionistas and quizzed them on everything from fashion fundas to gadget must-haves. Here's what  they had to say:

Simone Singh

The one accessory you won't leave your home without?
Shoes! Because it's advisable to not leave your shoes at home.  

One gadget you must have... 
Thought my husband is a Mac worshipper I love my Dell laptop. That and my mobile phone! 

Who are you wearing today?
Gaurav Gupta 

What's on your iPod? 
Old '70s rock, jazz and world music 

Your personal sense of style?
Understated and nuanced 

Fitness secret?
I don't work out much. Instead I try as far as possible to eat healthy. 

How do you keep your skin so radiant? 
I chose my parents wisely! 

Are you on Facebook? 
No!

Model Shaurya Chauhan

The one accessory you won't leave your home without?
My perfume. I usually change my perfume every two months. I am currently wearing Gabbana. 

The gadget you must, must have...
Play Station 3! Don't go by my looks, I am a complete tomboy. I am always on the lookout for new gadgets and keep myself updated on all tech-related news. 

Who are you wearing today?
Chaitanya Rao. I like his designs because they are very nice and feminine. 

What's on your iPod? 
I don't have an iPod. 

Your personal sense of style...
Anything that is comfortable. I am very high on comfort. I believe you might be wearing a D&G but if you are not comfortable in it, you won't be able to carry it off. 

Fitness secret?
I do a lot of yoga. But over the years I have realised the importance of eating well. Work out as much as you want but if you don't eat well, it won't help.  

How do you keep your skin so radiant?
I moisturise and drink a lot of water. As a rule I always wash my make-up off at the end of the day. 

Are you on Facebook or Twitter? 
No

Model, TV host Ranjini Haridas

The one accessory you won't leave your home without?
I am not so much an accessory person. I can live without most of my fashion accessories. 

The gadget you must, must have?
I cannot live without my iPod. It's the one sole companion I have. 

Who are you wearing today?
Chaitanya Rao.  

What's on your iPod? 
Black Eyed Peas and Akon 

Your personal sense of style...
Anything that's casual scores high on my chart. Nothing works better for me than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. 

Fitness secret?
I suffer from slip disc so I cannot workout. The only option I have is to maintain a strict diet. I am almost often off sweets and milk .

Your skincare tips?
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Plus I try and stick to a single brand as far as possible. 

Are you dating someone? 
Not for the last one month. I plan to stay single for the next one year.
