indian queer fashion icons - The Reelstars

Fashion and queer fashion icons are strongly entwined. Clothes are just clothes; however, it is up to the one wearing them to make them the best tool for self-expression. Makeup is another powerful way to add to the overall look. There is no clear definition or set pattern that is being followed. Clothes, accessories, and make-up are ways to express one’s individuality. Each person has their own take & it is precisely what fashion and style are all about – individualism.

With more and more brands and labels showcasing gender-neutral collections. However, it only aids every individual to express themselves the way they want to and queer fashion icons are no exception. 

Here are some queer fashion icons whose sartorial choices and makeup game are so on-point, that whether you are a member of the queer community or an ally, you will be compelled to stop, stare & be in complete awe. 

Queer Fashion Icons in India to follow on Instagram today:

Tejeshwar Sandhoo (Instagram – @Blueberryblackout)

He is one of the leading fashion influencers & content creators in India who gives his followers fashion lessons via his Instagram on how to make everything work. Be it a classic outfit, loud prints, a sporty vibe or how to completely nail an androgynous look. He is also a bonafide sneakerhead too. Sandhoo loves experimenting with his fashion choices and has always been a favourite with fashion brands.

John Dominic Rai (Instagram – @TheWhiteHairedGuy)

Breaking fashion norms is a routine for John. Each post on Instagram looks well-curated and thought over, with intricate detailing from concept and styling to overall execution. While his feed can easily be John’s portfolio but its impact is much more. It is used in a way to induce confidence in anyone looking at the posts to be unabashedly themselves just like John. It surely impresses many & inspires many more to be their authentic selves. He models androgyny perfectly with his choices & styling.

Param Sahib (Instagram – @Parambanana)

Some artists create art which is distinct from who they are as a person & then there are artists who are an exact representation of the art they create. Param falls into the latter category. He did not lie when he wrote his insta bio as THE MAXIMALIST (yes, in capital) almost as if it’s a disclaimer for what you are about to discover. His Instagram is an explosion of hues. It is all there, texture, vibrance, pattern. It is as loud as it gets. Param stands out with a unique individualistic aesthetic that brings joy to him. Furthermore, it is evident from his post & it transcends to his followers making it so heart warming.

Instagram has become a platform for everyone to showcase their uniqueness (because everyone is truly unique). However, share their stories through images and content that inspire and build communities.

With growing awareness and acceptance in society, Androgynous is not an uncommon word anymore. And with an increasing number of out & proud queer personas, the community, allies & everyone, in general, have many more ICONs to admire, be inspired & live life as they want to without any inhibitions.

A Media Solutions Professional with a keen eye on all things in-trend. He is a fashion & cine enthusiast. Has recently forayed into writing "readable" fashion content & loves to curate look-books.

Pavitra aces bold color mixing in a Mero Studio masterpiece

In her first look, Pavitra is dressed in Vaishali S. couture. The detailing on the monochromatic outfit looks intricate and impressive. Also, the minimal styling works perfectly. Pavitra always knows how to embody a perfect amalgamation of bold yet feminine looks. Furthermore, I only have one question, why is such a serve seated and not actually on the ramp?

The second look is equally stunning (like, I am not even surprised now) – Pavitra is wrapped in fashion, literally. Dressed in this gorgeous ensemble from Abhishek Sharma Studio, Pavitra exudes supermodel energy. However, The shoes and the bag are making a statement yet do not take away from the outfit. Moreover, Pavitra has to drop her modus operandi in how she always picks up accessories that are unique, visually stunning and make you want to know more.

Her third look, if you ask me, is giving Carrie Bradshaw vibes. It is also a classic Pavitra Sagar look. Both love mixing eye-popping colours that only they seem to excel in making it look like an absolute slay. However, She glides in this outfit by Mero Studio and a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. (Did I not say it’s giving Carrie vibes??)

As the layered, detailed and exquisite artistry of Indian designers garner much-deserved appreciation at the Mecca of fashion, we see more and more Indian talent that represents this artistry in the best way possible and Pavitra Sagar carries this mantle in her own distinctive style.
