The 34-year-old "Yaariyan" director said the new generations takes her as an inspiration.
"Fashion is very important. One should always look presentable. Since I direct youth-oriented films, youngsters follow me and take inspiration from me so it is very important for me to dress up properly. I can't be shabbily dressed.
"Directors usually have an image of being too casual when it comes to fashion. But as a women, it is very important to be prim and proper. I don't go and sit in parlour for two to three hours that's not my cup of tea, but I make sure I am nice and well dressed," Divya told PTI on the sidelines of the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016.
Their collection "Femmes di Tahiti" was inspired by native Tahitian prints, colours and motifs. The garments were easy flowing silhouettes having a soft handloom chanderi, cotton matka, woven bapta silk and chiffon textures with vibrant colours.
On her professional front, Divya, who recently had a decent success stint with her film "Sanam Re", starring Pulkit Samrat and Yami Gautam in lead roles, will start working on her next project after a month.
"Right now, I am resting as I did two movies back to back. I am just trying to rejuvenate recover and get back to my healthy self. I will again do young movie. Within a month I will get back to my work. And start brain storming on my next project," she said.
