This weekend, the 2nd edition of Van Heusen + GQ Fashion Night Out will be held at The Taj Lands End Hotel in Mumbai. India’s top menswear designers: Rohit Bal, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Shantanu & Nikhil, Sahil Aneja, Abhishek Paatni, Kunal Rawal, Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna will unveil never before seen collections and Team MissMalini has exclusive backstage access! Don’t forget to catch live updates on our social media platforms on December 3rd and 4th starting at 7:00pm. So, what to expect (apart from the handsome hunks who’ll be walking down the runway)?
We asked the designers where they draw inspiration from. Check out some of their unlikely answers below:
Kunal Rawal says mundane things in his office inspire him.
Abhishek Paatni finds inspiration from Japanese Samurai warriors.
Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna are influenced by travel and art.
Shantanu and Nikhil’s creative juices are motivated by Kashmir circa 1990.
