Coronation for Yuvraj?


AS THE adage goes `leaders do not do different things but do things differently', this cliché holds true for young Yuvraj Siddharth Nagpal, who took his first step into the fashion industry at a tender age of 16. An ardent admirer of the `the high priest of high fashion', JJ Valaya, Manish Malhotra and others, he is determined to become a fashion designer like one of them.

At the age of 18, he launched his first studio - Yuvraj at Lado Sarai. "My flair for creativity flourished in a one year fashion designing course that I did from J.D. Institute of Fashion and people do appreciate my work and I thought of opening a store in my name then," says this excited young designer.

His exceptional Indo-western collection in tones of flaming greens, pinks, whites and blues look delightful with the matching accessories like heels and bags. Whether a traditional Lucknowi kurta-pajama, dhoti or the cocktail wear shirts and trousers with embedded stonework, or the lehengas, cholis, blouses, sarees and ponchos each one of his outfit is distinct in design.

"I have created designs that suits the wardrobe of every class of the society and I make sure that they cater to the age from 17 to 70." This being his first visit to the India's fashion capital, this youngest designer award winner promises "a lot of things for the fashion divas of the city soon". His collection starts Rs.1200 onwards.
