His recent achievements include the Received Title of ‘Mr Gujarat Fashion Stylist of The Year 2018’. Belonging to a Gujarati family, Patel has worked along with some of popular fashion designers. We recently met up with the man himself, after much scheduling to adjust into his busy life.
Interviewer- It is so very nice to meet you Mr. Patel… or, should I call you Satyyaa? Speaking of which, a lot of your fans are curious about your name- is there any reason for the stylisation?
Satyya- Hahaha, no it’s not a problem, you can definitely call me Satyyaa… and as for the name, my original name on Documents is Satish Chandra M Patel. Satyyaa is a screen name in acting and modeling industry. I felt that Satish Chandra wouldn’t really catch on in the fashion and Acting industry and wanted a name that would suit my career. So, I settled on Satyyaa.
Interviewer- Sir, could you tell us a bit about your early life?
Satyyaa- I was born on 15th August 1992, to a traditional Gujarati Hindu family in the Pusad town in Yavatmal district Maharashtra. My father, Mukesh M Patel and my family were initially hesitant of my career choices. They felt that I would be more successful in something more orthodox. But this all changed after I started working in modeling and acting field… I will speak more on this later.
Interviewer- Oh no! You cannot leave us on such a cliff-hanger. Please tell us more.
Satyyaa- Well not many people know this but I had been struggling for around 3-4 years actually, but then… around the end of 2018, I recieved the MR. Gujarat Fashion Stylist of the Year 2018 Title.It must have been God’s plan to make me involved in that Fashion Show Event. SR Runway Production had originally organised it. This was certainly a huge turning point in my life because it gave me a lot of exposure to the outside world and I started receiving approach from small brands and fashion studios as different profiles,after that I have judged many fashion shows and also worked on-ramp as a Show Stopper in Gujarat Fashion Industry.
Interviewer- What an exciting journey your life must be. So, tell us Sir, what are the qualifications one must have to be able to follow in your footsteps?
Satyyaa- My educational qualifications include a high school degree from Shriram Asegaonkar School in Pusad, Maharashtra.
After this, I pursued a diploma in Mechanical Engineering from JSMP’s Dr. N.P. Hriani Institute of Polytechnic (MSBTE Mumbai University). You may be wondering, why I chose my field in art then, rather than engineering. Actually, ever since childhood, after I completed my schooling, I decided to try my luck in fashion and acting industry. I had maintained a good physique. When I had applied to my first show, they had found my looks and personality fitting for their brand. And the rest is history. So, my advice for anyone wanting to go down the same lane would be to build on their personality. You don’t need too advanced an education and I’m sure you would succeed if you put your mind to it.
