Menswear Styling for the Modern Gentleman
For me, menswear is about more than just a suit; it is about structure, personality, and the story you want to tell. Whether it is high-fashion editorial work or refined looks for public appearances, I focus on the details that define your presence.

About Menswear Styling
When I approach menswear, I focus on how the fabric moves with you. For formal attire, this means precise tailoring that layers subtle, complementary tones to add depth rather than relying on standard black or white options. It is about ensuring your outfit enhances your presence without wearing you.
My approach to styling men centers on clarity and character. Whether we are preparing for a red carpet entry or a high-impact editorial shoot, the goal remains the same: the clothes must align with the narrative.
The Art of Layering
In projects like the campaign for J. Hampstead with Hrithik Roshan, we moved away from the clichéd black suit. By layering three-piece sets in complementary shades of blue and grey, we created a modern, polished aesthetic that felt fresh while maintaining formality. It is a technique I use often to add visual depth to classic silhouettes.
Focus on the Subject
Sometimes, the most powerful look is the simplest one. In my work with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, we stripped away the extras to focus on a crisp white shirt. This was a deliberate choice to center the personality and mood of the portrait rather than the outfit. Understanding when to stop adding layers is just as important as knowing how to build them.
The Collaborative Process
Styling is rarely a solo endeavor. On every set, I work closely with photographers, hair, and makeup teams to ensure the visual tone is consistent from head to toe. If you are preparing for a major appearance or a portfolio shoot, expect me to handle the coordination—from sourcing the right labels to ensuring the fit is flawless before the camera clicks.
My goal is to give you a look that feels authentic to who you are, whether that means sharp, structured tailoring or something more relaxed.
