Designer’s Choice: Men do not insist on their choice of style and leave it to the designer. Says Pawan, “At times, they insist on their choice, but by and large, my clients stick to what I decide for them as they have confidence in my creativity and what I choose designs for each of them according to their personality. This is because whatever the fashion, I prefer to stick to a man’s personality and his body and then alter the fashion accordingly and give him something which is latest as far as fashion is concerned and yet suits him perfectly well. By and large, men like tuxedo and sherwani but today’s man is opening up to the fashion and is trying all new styles.”
