FOR A SLICKER, SUAVER VERSION OF YOU... GO FOR A TAILORED SUIT

ANIL KAPOOR CAN CARRY A CLASSIC SUIT REALLY WELL, JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. IT RESONATES HIS IMPECCABLE REGAL STYLE. IT’S TRULY TIMELESS

Who inspired you to get into the tailoring business?

I inherited into this business technically! My grandfather started out as a small store about eight decades ago. Fortunately, I was passionate about it, though my vision was slightly different. I started my own line, focusing at taking tailoring to a new height with the addition of cutting-edge designs.

Do you think Indian designers need to learn from Italian craftsmanship?

I think there’s a lot to learn and emulate. But there is also immense talent here which needs to be channelised.

Other than Anil Kapoor, which other actor you think pulls off a suit well?

For a modern edgy look, Ayushmann Khurrana is an ideal candidate. The way he puts it together is just right and makes any look effortless. He has the right body language that balances a fine suit, making it experimental and fun.

What is the future of tailoring?
