Hes not your typical model,but when businessman Naveen Ansal walked on to the ramp dressed in snugly-fitted paisley trousers and jacket,his aviators cutting out the glare of the arclights and revved up the vintage Harley Davidson,you knew that menswear in India is done with playing second fiddle to womens clothing.
Since noon,despite the steady rain casting doubts about people making it,The Grand,the venue of the first Van Heusen India Mens Week,was abuzz with activity. Designer Manoviraj Khosla stood on the porch,taking in the crowd coming in,Kalyani Chawla turned up in a chic black outfit and grey hat,newbie Himmat Singh of Jaipur,whose claim to fame has been tailoring for erstwhile royalty of Rajasthan,strutted around in a sharpsuit,a harried but ever-beaming Sunil Sethi,president,Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) greeted the guests,but of course,the cynosure of all eyes was the man of the moment,Ravi Bajaj,who came back to the fashion week after over two decades in the industry. This is not my first time at the fashion week,but I hope to be pleasantly surprised since its Ravi, said restaurateur AD Singh,kitted out in a white suit and a fedora hat,accompanied by socialite Thenny Mejia. The mens week should make for good news in the retail sector. In any case,its refreshing to see the other end of the spectrum, smiled Mejia.
