Kunal was first introduced to the garment export industry. 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. The designer’s expansive knowledge and experimental design aesthetic have resulted in strong brand positioning for the label.
Kunal Rawal showcases his collections at Lakme Fashion Week ever since he showcased them in the first batch of Gen Next designers. Celebrities like Anil Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Prateik Babbar and more have closed the show for Kunal Rawal. The brand has not only been worn by most A-listers in India but also the likes of artist Pharrell Williams, comedian Hasan Minhaj, designer Michael Russo, Edouard Guerrand Hermès of Hermès, Senior VP at Apple Eddy Cue, BOF Founder Imran Ahmed and many more. Be it the designing off-field apparels for IPL teams like Rajasthan Royals (2008) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (2012) or collaborating with Salman Khan’s clothing brand Being Human. Kunal Rawal has also worked in many Bollywood movies like Aisha, Desi Boyz, Shootout at Wadala, Besharam, Mubarakan and many more.
