Armed with the knowledge of construction, silhouette and textiles he opened his first store Dstress a youthful men’s contemporary wear label that started in 2006. Having graduated from the London school of fashion the brand caters to progressive Indian men by offering immense variety across seasons, geographies and occasions. The multi-utility of every Kunal Rawal garment sets the brand apart from its peers; every piece can be adapted to one’s style aesthetic to express individuality. A natural ’next step’ in his journey was to create an ethnic-evening wear collection for the modern Indian man. This luxury Indian contemporary brand has become popular for its non-conformist and multi-functional approach toward design; the brand speaks volumes for its cultivated imperfection and unconventional aesthetic while being deeply rooted in its Indian culture.
Kunal Rawal’s design aesthetic unites traditional work of art with functionality and the young designer – believes that fashion should be fun and not restricted. As much as he wants men to have a cupboard full of options when it comes to traditional outfits, he also wants them to have an alternative when it comes to clothing.
