Deepika Padukone. She needs no introduction. Here is what fashion,style and being a brand ambassador means to this young star, in her own words.

The last week was rather fashion-heavy. Not that I don't have to dress up for work or public appearances otherwise, but I won laurels for being fashionable. How cool is that! I walked the runway for Delhi-based designer duo Gauri and Nainika at the fashion week held in Mumbai last week. They made me wear a classic black and white gown which I found extremely beautiful

As I chatted with the duo post the show, I discovered that the inspiration for their collection was the legendary actress, Audrey Hepburn. But the diva isn't their idol alone. For as long as I can remember, she's been my style icon, too! Simple, classic and elegant. That's my style. Although I believe it's important to keep up with trends that rule the fashion circuit, one shouldn't lose his or her individuality.

I've always believed that you should wear what suits your personality and makes you comfortable. Comfort brings out confidence and adds that extra something to your trendy piece of clothing. Any sort of discomfort reflects in your body language and ends up ruining the whole effort. Fashion also got me to Delhi over the weekend.

I was here to pick up an award as the 'Fashion Icon of the Year'. To be labelled a youth icon is a huge responsibility. Everything you do is closely observed, scrutinised and even followed. This is why I'm also very selective about brands I endorse, whether it's a cola or an airline company.
