Cinema aside, Indian fashion lost a dear muse: Irrfan Khan’s stylist pens emotional note

'I daresay no one can carry off a lungi the way he does. He spelt it with charm, suave and made it look absolutely royal,' Irrfan Khan's stylist wrote on Instagram.

Given the looks Irrfan Khan donned in most of his films or otherwise, his sartorial mantra did seem to be that of minimalism and not particularly in line with trends. But over the years the artiste, known to be open-minded, experimented with his ensembles too.

“Irrfan Sir, the unmatched legendary actor we always knew, was quite passionate about fashion. Lover of all things art,” his stylist Isha Bhansali wrote on Instagram to express condolences.

Bhansali revealed she had worked with Irrfan on a couple of looks for the movie Piku. But it was during Hindi Medium that she “discovered how much fashion holds dear to him”. In the movie, we see him in extravagant, blingy attire in the role of a businessman, something he was not usually associated with. Like his films, he took deep interest in his clothes too. “He knew his fabrics. He knew his fits (I barely remember doing fittings with him). Black won’t be as bold without him now,” she further wrote.

“His personality was a magnet. At his age, he had elegance and swag in equal measure. Not many have them both,” the stylist wrote in her note.

As Irrfan breathed his last today, Bhansali added, “Cinema aside, Indian fashion has lost a dear muse.”
