From being conscious about their wardrobe to following trends, Indian men folk have started taking care of their clothing, says designer Varun Bahl and adds that the Indian fashion industry has come of ages when it comes to menswear line.
“Men’s fashion has grown immensely in India. There is a change in the way people perceive fashion today. Men in general are taking care of the way they dress up. They are more conscious and actually spending time in front of mirror,” he says.
Bahl recently showcased his collection at the International Indian Film Academy awards (IIFA) in Singapore. And the designer is mesmerised with the kind of response he has received from international clients. “It’s always good to present your designs to people of that scale as it helps in brand building,” says Bahl who started his label in 2001.
Another feather in the cap was added when he was invited to showcase his spring summer 2007 line at the Milan fashion week, making him the first Indian designer to have showcased his collection there.
Any pearls of wisdom for the India men? “Explore desi designs. Try western clothes but don’t sideline Indian wear,” he says.
