Zayn Malik’s Mexico Tour Look Puts Indian Fashion Duo Rohit Gandhi-Rahul Khanna In Global Spotlight
Zayn Malik stage presence on the international tour in a Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna design is, at its core, more than just a fashion story it’s a cultural message in a very subdued way.
Zayn Malik as one of the members of One Direction has distinguished himself as a performer by developing methods of making himself different from other artists through the use of costumes. His connection to his audience has rooted deep with his audience, allowing him to be able to express himself more creatively with his fashion and appearance than the average artist in the industry. Unlike many artists today developing their fashion sense as a result of current trends, Zayn gets his style based on his belief of what will help him showcase who he is as a person. So when he stepped onto the stage during his Konnakol Tour stop in Mexico, nobody was surprised that his outfit was worth talking about. What did turn heads was the name on the label — celebrated Indian fashion duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna.
The Jacket That Stole the Show
Let us be honest — when you are performing in front of thousands of screaming fans under stage lights, your outfit needs to do a lot of work. Zayn's choice did exactly that without trying too hard, which is perhaps the most Zayn thing about it. The centrepiece was an embellished black biker jacket, and it was stunning in the most understated way possible. Structured shoulders, broad lapels, an asymmetric zipper running across the front all the bones of a classic biker jacket were there. What the foundation pieces have been created by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna are what set these pieces further apart than anything else you would see hanging on a regular rack. The detailed embroidery along the sleeves had so much detail that it requires an observer to look closely. Its design does not demand your attention. It simply earned it.
