I marvel at how fashion designers or stylists contradict themselves, almost all the time. They want to influence you with their choice for everything practical or wearable, and then they will toy with something so experimental that you wouldn't dare to don it while taking the public mode of transport. In that regard fashion is a tricky thing, you want it to reach to people while not allowing the people to reach where they intend to reach, with the fancy creations on!

Prateik Babbar turned up in this avatar at the Lakme Fashion Week 2018 only to make our eyes pop out of our heads. The man is surely pushing the envelope and redefining what normalcy is, in his drag queen avatar. But this is not what we would like Prateik to don to woo ladies or men or whoever he likes in his personal or professional space.

This is an attempt to symbolise both the yin and yang, both female and male energy. One can also see a lot of quirks thrown in. But frankly put, hasn't this theme been exploited and done to death by the king of quirks and everything experimental, Alexander McQueen? This could be the tribute to that genre by dishing out 'Chola' theme.

On the movie front, Prateik has been appreciated for his role in the much-appreciated movie Mulk. And now the man is likely to give us a never seen before avatar that can inspire a story or two! Tell us what you have to say about Babbar lad's fondness for experiments? Is this daringly creative or pure deadly?
