The Indian Couture Week 2023, which kickstarted on Tuesday, July 25 in Delhi is witnessing acclaimed fashion designers enthraling fashion lovers with their impeccable collection of ethnic ensembles. The first day of the fashion extravaganza served lessons on inclusivity in fashion with an out-and-proud gay model Rabanne Victor walking the runway for Falguni Shane Peacock.
Quashing the popular narrative that only women can wear lehengas, Victor was seen decked up in a beautiful gold lehenga from the designers’ latest collection. The model cut a stunning figure in his gold fish-cut lehenga, with a bralette-style blouse and a sheer veil with a floor-sweeping train. Victor’s outfit was accessorised with a pair of chokers and elaborate studs.

For the unversed, Victor began his professional life as a model at 27 and regularly models for acclaimed Kolkata-based designer Sabyasachi. Narrating his struggles and life before the fame, Victor said that he started his career late when he was 27. Being naturally skinny, the model also faced a few difficulties at the beginning.
