Style ka Badshah

Taking a look at musician Badshah's videos, one might think that his style revolves around big cars, big brands and big Rollies. Surprisingly, he admits that he wasn't always brand conscious and when not on the red carpet, you are sure to find the Kar Gayi Chull singer in shorts! He defines his personal style as casual and comfortable and when we ask him who his style icons are, he cheekily replies, "Kanye West, Virgil Abloh and me?" An impulsive shopper, Badshah always keeps an eye out for exclusive, limited-edition pieces by big brands. "I really don't think music influences my fashion. I just wear what I feel. However, I do believe in making a change in the street fashion scene in India, hence I launched my brand Badfit. I try to keep my style quotient expressive in my music videos," he says.

Some of his biggest and valuable purchases are his Balenciaga, Off-White, Louis Vuitton and Dsquared pieces and he says that there is no key to making a luxury purchase — just buy it if it fits your identity and if you feel you can carry it off without any fuss. "One memorable luxury purchase for me would be my first Rolex. It was more of a dream achievement for me than buying a brand!" he says proudly. He prefers to shop in Dubai, the luxury mall haven, and is proud of the fact that everyone in the industry says that he made Balenciaga popular in India, which might be true as he is often seen in logo jackets (remember the Koffee with Karan episode?) and luxe street-style pieces from the brand. His weakness: jackets and sunglasses.
