They won’t hold their age. Instead, they will solace we with stories about a “boys” from Bollywood. When we dress a star for a open sighting, we tend to learn some-more than if he picks brogues over moccasins.
So, we learn that Ranbir Kapoor is not into brands. He will wear what we give him, and lift it off too. “Ranbir couldn’t be cooler. There were times when we wondered, will he wear this? Well, he did indeed wear all we gave him. He is not a code snob,” says Kazim Delhiwala.

Kazim is one half of Vainglorious, a stylist use he runs with mother Priyanka Shahani. They are desirous and miserly to fatten their register of famous, nonetheless they’ve
already ticked off Emraan Hashmi, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput and Tiger Shroff on it.
Their organisation introduces shoppers, including a famous, to general labels that we don’t find online. A lot of a names embody personal favourites, stores a dual have visited on trips and loved.

“We got into styling with a guarantee that we would minister something that wasn’t already there. We investigate a star or client’s luminary closely, cruise how he would dress himself. It shouldn’t demeanour like he has walked out of a repository shoot, or that he went to a store and it exploded on him. It should be honest, organic,” says Kazim when Priyanka jumps in, “…and usually a small some-more glamorous”.
The integrate met in 2000, and married 3 years ago. Their common non-fashion credentials (Priyanka majored in psychology and heads a family-run film studio in Mahim; Kazim is a lerned pilot) has authorised them a uninformed viewpoint on seared men’s conform in India. “Often, organisation are forced to be ashamed of sauce up. So, we see a man in a fit with a shirt that’s not tucked in. They wish to say, we don’t dress up. We indispensable to repair that. We indispensable organisation to demeanour flattering too.”

Their possess dress clarity is as most a head-turner as their work. Famed American blogger-photographer Scott Schuman’s The Sartorialist has documented their style. “Imagine my warn when Scott tapped me on a shoulder and asked to sketch me while we was strolling in Marais, Paris, this June,” Kazim says excitedly.
But, it’s sauce Hindi film stars for film promotions and luminary events that has got them limit attention. The span dipped their toes into H2O with actor Ali Zafar while he was compelling a 2014 Aditya Chopra production, Kill Dil. “It was a time when we were perplexing to figure how a attention works, either it would be sparkling for us to get involved, and not be left creatively mutilated by a demands,” Priyanka shares.
Their initial grave assignment was with Emraan Hashmi during promotions for Ungli. But, it was Ranbir’s sartorial choices while compelling his final release, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil that had people lay adult and take notice.
“We honour ourselves in operative with smaller conform houses. We are fabric, fit and technique geeks, so when we transport abroad, we revisit stores and plead a truth behind a pattern process, that creates a code trust in a values,” says Kazim. “That’s how we make connections. Shopping for ourselves helps, of course,” Priyanka laughs.
Headlining their list of favourites is Paris-based pattern common Vetements (pronounced vet-MAHN; French for ‘clothes’) headed by Demna Gvasalia and his organisation of faceless, puzzling collaborators, and Californian engineer Rick Owens.
“I am spooky with Rick’s grungy-glamorous aesthetic! Saint Laurent is really particular. Their ready-to-wear is accessible usually when a actors transport to Dubai. In India, however, it’s usually shoes. Tom Ford is really picky about whom they work with, though they like a Bollywood actors,” Kazim adds. They dressed adult Ranbir in a Tom Ford turtleneck shirt, coupler and trousers for his coming on Koffee with Karan. “We have been propitious with actors, though we would like to character women,” Priyanka drops a hint.
For now, they are enthralled in styling actors for their open appearances, and a film joining seems premature. “Unless they make an Aisha for men! If a book is centered on a middle-class hero, we won’t be means to contribute,” Kazim says with certainty. “It would be a small income grab, not creatively gratifying for us.”
