Kunal Rawal on his collection
“This has been a very special show for me. In the last 15 years what I have not played with or toyed with, but had strong feelings for, woh maine 15 saal baad kia hai. There’s drapes, paisley, brocade, stuff that I thought were not for menswear, I have now used them, after 15 years.”
“Menswear is going through such an evolution, it is not so boxed up. Earlier men used to leave occasion wear to someone else in the family to decide. I believe a lot in diversity, when you are retailing you need to see the clothes on a similar skin tone and body type,”
Talking about having Arjun as his showstopper, Kunal said, “I’m also selfish. I am my best around my family and my friends like family. So any special show comes up, I believe a lot in my vibe, my tribe, and that’s what I have represented for 15 years.”
