On April 13, Ranveer surprised the fashion industry by taking the runway as the showstopper for Raymond’s esteemed Chairman’s Collection. With his unique blend of culinary expertise and high fashion, Brar graced the ramp with undeniable charm.
Discussing his evolving fashion perspective, Ranveer shared with IANS, “My fashion sense has matured over the years. Now, I dress for myself, which is the most significant shift I've experienced. I want my clothing to reflect my personality while offering comfort and practicality for long days.”
When asked about adhering to or defying fashion norms, Brar intriguingly compared the kitchen to the catwalk. He remarked, “In my view, there are no strict rules in either cooking or fashion. My goal is to make the lungi a mainstream choice in menswear.”
He further elaborated, “The ultimate representation of fashion is when you see a military or navy officer in uniform. It’s transformative, allowing one to embody a different identity.”
Reflecting on a defining fashion memory from his childhood, Brar recalled the lasting impact of his grandfather’s army uniform. “For me, growing up, it was my grandfather's uniform,” he recounted, noting how its crisp lines and dignified presence influenced his style.
