With the wedding season in the air, the one name that is celebrated for defining men's fashion is fashion designer Arjun Khanna. Known for his innovative approach and avant-garde aesthetics in fashion, Arjun comes with a 30-year legacy. The nonconformist in him thinks there is much more to learn.
He feels flattered about being relevant after three decades. "In those days, I was dressing the man, his father and grandfather. Today, I am dressing the father, his son and the grandfather. What I love is that people come and say 'Hey, I bought this 20 years ago for my wedding, it feels lovely. It pretty much makes it a legacy then,'" He adds. "Understanding the body type is my edge. I cater to the torso and people appreciate that they're going to be fitted."
For Arjun, designing is like painting, where he gets emotionally connected with every piece.
Excerpts from an interview

What is at the heart of the Arjun Khanna label?
