THE STYLE ICON
RAHUL KHANNA, ACTOR
One of India's pioneer style figures, actor Rahul Khanna recently made his foray into the world of fashion. Known for his dapper style and his classic sense of style which has earned him a badge of being one of India's most suave and well dressed men, Rahul has had a close affinity to the world of fashion from very early on. The actor has now entered the world of fashion by curating an exclusive men's accessories collection for Chokore titled - RKXC. Sharing his early memories and bend towards creativity, Khanna says, "I was always drawn to the creative arts when I was growing up. I was a voracious reader and then writer-writing essays and little novellas. I was also constantly sketching, doodling and cartooning and then, later on, developed an interest in drama and performing. It was once I started working in the entertainment industry and interacting with stylists and designers that I started having an appreciation for fashion and personal style."
Shedding light on the odds of a creative breakthrough, Khanna mentions, "Inspiration is elusive and spontaneous. I think the trick is keeping oneself always open to inspiration, so one is ready to receive it when it strikes." As per him, "When it comes to style-old family photo albums (how stylish were our ancestors!), art, cinema and travel," keep on inspiring him. Talking about how his audience connect would differ in this new avatar, he says, "This is the first time I'm venturing into an entrepreneurial space, so I'm still getting the hang of it! I would imagine social media would be a good barometer-customers can communicate directly-and one can gauge their response in real time."
