Karan Johar flaunted his usual superior sense of style at a recent Mumbai event, but this time, he took all the attention for a rather disturbing accessory braided-hair tie designed by the eccentric fashion label, Schiaparelli. At the India launch of a luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader, filmmaker Karan Johar was spotted looking sharp in a beige suit from Label Crestelli.But the world was abuzz over his tie. A braided-hair piece from Italian fashion house Schiaparelli‘s Autumn-Winter 2024 collection, Johar’s necktie looked more like a blonde braid than any traditional neckwear.
Pegged at a massive ₹2 lakh, this tie was surreal and morbidly fascinating against his otherwise well-groomed self. The same tie was seen first at Paris Ready-to-Wear Fashion Week, and it is again part of Schiaparelli’s infamous repertoire-one that beautifully combines high fashion with avant-garde elements, which Karan Johar chose to go beyond the bounds and mesh perfectly with his attired self.
It was beiges everywhere, and in structure standard double-breasted beiges the outfit did manage to catch attention, but just then, KJo added a hair-tie accessory to make it striking. He sported almost same tan-heeled shoes along with a jumbo Hermes bag and nerdy Lennon-style glass put an eccentric touch to the whole thing. An eye brooch for the embellishment, courtesy of Schiaparelli yet again, rounded off the entire look.
Although the tie was rather unconventional and even creepy, Johar’s fearlessness in dressing proved once more that he will not back down from any endeavour. Love it or hate it, Karan Johar knows how to turn heads.
Karan Johar is always synonymous with fearlessness in fashion, that effortless mingling of the classic elegance with bold, eccentric accessories that scream. Whether it’s an eye-catchy embellishment or a surreal piece as that infamous braided-hair tie from Schiaparelli, Karan Johar wears quirky, avant-garde clothing with conviction. He has always been a sartorial rebel on the filmmaker, often opting for sharp suits, polished silhouettes, and daring details.
His eclectic mix of classic luxury with unusual, often bizarre, accents-such as his bejeweled brooches, oversized glasses, and outrageous neckties-underline his singular talent to make unusual items something iconic in fashion. Karan Johar’s style is a reflection of his boldness in wearing his personality on his sleeve through fashion; hence, the more unpredictability, the more sophistication.
