The Indian fashion industry has seen an influx of new designers. Though Phadnis is glad to see the growing popularity of fashion designing as a profession, he feels they need to have some talent to be able to do well.
"Every second person wants to be a designer. I love some of the young budding talent, but there needs to be a base to it," he said.
Phadnis, who has also designed clothes for Bollywood films like "God Tussi Great Ho" and "Salaam-E-Ishq", said styling in movies keeps on evolving.
