Karan Johar dons designer’s hat for a women’s collection
MUMBAI: After designing for his friends, Karan Johar is now taking his love for fashion a step further. The filmmaker is all set to make a grand debut as women’s wear designer with fashion brand Vero Moda.
The brand synonymous with contemporary international fashion for women in India is collaborating with the film maker to create the Vero Moda Marquee collection, which will be unveiled by him at Mehboob Studio on 19 September.
“Through the years, I have used my films as an outlet to showcase my own sense of fashion, which is luxurious and grand, yet functional at the same time. This is my first attempt to recreate my own distinct style by putting together a collection for a women’s fashion brand. The fact that I get to do it for a brand like this one makes it very exciting for me,” the film maker said in a statement.
Back in 2010, Johar launched his eponymous menswear label in collaboration with designer Varun Bahl which received very good response.
On the Bollywood front, Johar is currently focusing on Brothers starring Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra; which is a remake of the Hollywood film Warriors. He will also be remaking the cult film Ram Lakhan which will be directed by Rohit Shetty. Also, Salman Khan starrer Shuddhi is in the pipeline for Dharma Productions.
