    retail customers, fleet owners and dealers.

    What is the potential of this business andhow has the response been?The financial business in extremelyimportant to us as 80 per cent of the cars aregetting financed. India is a financing marketand mostly all people are looking to financetheir dream machines. We seek to controlall the touch-points with our customers andfinancing is something we are passionateabout as its about the right treatment ofthe customers. The response has been

    very good. Almost every other car that gotfinanced last year got financed throughBMW Financial Services. I think this is an

    amazing achievement in such a short time.

    Does BMW have plans to develop a car justfor the Indian market?I think one of the core beliefs in thepremium car business for us is to maintainthe German pedigree that it has, which iscrucial for our customers. We are talkingabout thinkers and engineers with a globalthinking as our customers, including in India,are global customers.

    Which celebrity, according to you, is themost stylishly dressed?I will have to say George Clooney as he is

    pretty stylish. Irrespective of the charactershe portrays, he always manages to lookdashing. He adds a lot of Italian flavour tohis American origins.

    What does Dr Schaaf like doing in his sparetime?I have two small kids, aged two and three,

    which occupy my free time. Therefore, Icome back home to my family and thats howspend my evenings. I had been away fornearly ten days and I cant wait to meet all ofthem in the evening.

    Which is your favourite holiday destinationand why?There are many that I like and dont havea clear winner there. I have travelledextensively across the world and have seensome truly phenomenal places. Korea, forinstance, is never taken as a typical touristdestination. But it has some of the mostscenic places anywhere. Coastal areas of

    Korea, their Buddhist monasteries, heritagesites are truly amazing. In Europe there alot of beautiful places to see. I particularlylike Italy, which is a paradise for food lovers.Last year I went to southern coast of France,which is gorgeous too. In India a love goingto Goa (I go at least four times a year!). InSouth East Asia I love going to Thailand.

    What is your favourite business attire?Anything to do with blue. Black is bettersuited to a darker skin tone. Indians carryblack off really well. For paler skin tones, itis blue.

    LAMBORGHINIhas had a long listof producing sensational supercars as

    their flagship offerings, beginning withthe oh-so-beautiful Miura in 1966. Andover the years theyve continued thetradition, producing more and moreoutrageous and outlandish cars, whichhave been benchmarks of style andperformance, such as the radical wedgeshaped Countach or the even morefuturistic Diablo. Needless to say, postersof Lamborghinis flagship cars havegraced the bedroom walls of many a childand adult alike.

    Carrying that legacy forward is the latestbeast from Lamborghini, the Aventador

    LP700-4, which is powered by a brandnew 6.5-litre V12 engine producing691bhp and 510lb ft of torque. Along

    with the brand new engine, Lamborghinihas made a myriad of innovationsand changes to the car that ensurethat it features technologies used on aLamborghini for the first time, such as afull carbon fibre monocoque, resulting inlighter weight. Formula 1 style inboardsuspension and a semi-automatic gearbox,gears of which can be changed manually

    via the pedals mounted behind thesteering is a superb inclusion too. Drive tothe ground is transferred via the standard

    all-wheel drive system, which ensuresthat the Aventador has supreme traction

    in all conditions and its easier for thedriver to put the power down effectively.

    The net result of this gamut of changesis that Lamborghini has produced a carthat is lighter, faster and easier to drivethan ever before. And combined withthe sensational design of the companyensures that for a supercar connoisseurthis is the must-have of the moment.The only slight fly in the ointment, whichI should point out, is a meagre price tagat `3.69 Crores making it a car that onlya few lucky souls of the world can affordto enjoy.

    YOULLprobably ask yourselfwhy you took the trouble of flying almost11 hours by the time the shantytownsurrounding the Ninoy Aquino airport inthe Philippines Capital comes into view:Manila is not very impressive at first

    glance. And theres not that much youllencounter in the city over the ensuing dayswhich will change your mind either. Thatexplains why most travelers only make pitstops in the city en route to tropical islandparadises like Boracay and Cebu, whichput the Philippines on the tourist map.Its almost as if Resort World (the globalfranchise which is known for its mega-resorts in Singapore and Genting inMalaysia), built their latest multi-hotel,integrated tourist complex in Manilakeeping the citys lack of charm in mind.The destination then, is not Manila per

    se, but Resorts World Manila. And its asmuch a draw for locals as it is for tourists.

    Whether youre a traveler, thrill-seeker,gourmet, shopaholic, or an art and musiclover, RWM has gone al the ways tocome up with an expansive integratedcomplex encompassing three hotels, a

    host of restaurants, a top-end luxury mall,a sprawling casino, theatres, the biggestperforming art theatre in the country,cinemas.you get the idea.If youre flush, and want to splurge, thencheck into any one of the 172 suites atMaxims Tower each of which is decadentlyfurnished and comes with its a personalbutler. The Marriott is pretty god for asecond option while the economy rangeRemington hotel brings up the rear.There are too many dining options totouch upon, but Passion which servesCantonese and Southeast Asian cuisine, is

    probably the one that shouldnt be missed.Interconnected with the Maxims hotel isthe flashy Newport Mall four levels ofshopping and entertainment ensconced

    within a magnificent indoor piazza.But the real draw is the gaming centre: atpar with gaming capitals all over the world.

    RWMs casino is the largest in the countrywith 1,000 slot machines and 300 tablegames. Its not just about gaming though Bar 360 in the centre of the Casino hostslive acts every night while the GentingClub is the most upmarket lifestyle clubyoure likely to find in the city.By the end of your trip, you may or maynot find yourself enticed by Manila enoughto want to return one day. If you do, thenthe odds are that youll find yourself goingback for that one last spin of the wheel onthe roulette tables at RWM. In fact, youcan bet on it.

    7With bold colours beingreally in this season, doyou think they make for agood style statement when

    worn to work?Definitely! As long asthere are not too manycolour-blocks. A boldcolour, complimented witha neutral one, can workbeautifully. Certain coloursgo with certain personalitiesso be sure not to go wrong

    with that ever.

    Wear&WhatMenswear maverick and fashion expert Raghavendra Rathores conundrum counter

    KURTAS WITH BREECHES>> POCKET SQUARES>> CASUAL RESORT>>COLOUR BLOCKS>> CHUNKY KNITS >> BODY PROPORTIONS

    I love wearing kurtas when itcomes to formal-wear but nowwant to break the monotony andwear something different.

    Please suggest.Try a shorter, crisper version ina kurta with stripes and contrast

    white cuff to emulate a slick feel.Couple it with breeches and it

    becomes very versatile. Also awaitcoat, combined with a kurtaand breeches, looks equally good.

    Bandhgalas make for a perfectfashion statement. How can apocket square further add tothe look?

    A pocket square rich in colourtones always accentuates abandhgala. Silk, satin, twill,

    printed or woven dobby andjacquards work very well. It alsoadds a dash of texture, colour andstyling to a classic plain ensemblesuch as the bandhgala.

    Given the current weather, I likelayering up my garments. Butwith my big body frame, I endup looking stuffed. Are there

    really any norms that should befollowed while layering?Do not layer up to the extentthat it becomes cumbersomeor unflattering in terms ofbody proportions. It is best to

    wear inners before putting on agarment. Try wearing a thin layerbefore you adorn a jacket overit. Keep a check on the chunkyclothes or anything that adds toomuch volume.

    63

    60s and 70s trends are makingquite a comeback in the currentfashion scenario. Accordingto you, are flared pants a good

    option to sport a casual look?Flared pants usually work as alook for tall and slim people. Thereshould not be too much flare forshort people but can work very

    well if kept in proportion with onesheight. The flared-pant look is not

    a very classic one. However, whenin fashion it makes for a greatcasual look.

    I am a big fan of drop-crotchjeans and trousers, but not sureof how to sport the trend formally.Please help.This look does not work formally.It is difficult to suggest this as adefined look but can work in a

    casual resort-like setting very well.

    I like brocade as a fabric butgo clueless when it comes tocombining it in my formaldressing. According to you, if Ihave to wear a brocade sherwani,what fabric lowers should it be

    combined with?

    Avoid brocade that is very shiny.Brocade with a dull shine worksbetter than one with a sheen.Buttons should be jewelled andshould be chosen in keeping withthe colour of the brocade. Rubies,diamonds or any other jewelcolour can work well on a creamcolour achkan. The fabric of thelowers should always be cotton or acotton silk combination. Suggestedlowers: breeches!
