The applause was resounding though some did ask of his outrageous ensembles, ‘How wearable is this?’ And, mainly the funky answered, “Very!”

Inspiration? I never have inspiration for clothes. The phase that I am going through in my life, shows in my garments. Some little things may inspire me but the main collection is what I am all about.

Eroticism? There is no eroticism in my collection, at all. The black and white images of two boys hugging each other is something that you see on Indian roads, everywhere. I just thought that this was a funny image, looking particularly at foreign buyers. This is something that they are not used to and this line has attracted the maximum orders.

Not depicting homosexuality? No. People have only one thing on their minds!

Fave clients? All the clients who have the guts to wear my clothes are my favourites. There are lots actually, ranging from actresses… Koel Purie, Avanti Birla, Rhea Pillai Dutt, Kumaramangalam Birla, Sophia Haque…. Even Malini Ramani who is a great friend of mine, wears my clothes.

Greatest pleasure? I’ve seen people on the street wearing my clothes and that gives me more pleasure than celebrities wearing them because you do not really expect that.

Different? My latest collection is totally different from what came before. I have used a lot of stretch, experimented with T-shirts. Style-wise, the collection is different but look-wise, it is always my look. Of course, you have to keep international silhouettes and forecasts in mind. I have used a lot of fluorescent colours and ’80s fashions and these will be back in style by next year.

Slogans? Every year, I have something written on my clothes and it reflects exactly what I am going through and thinking about. Take ‘India Rocks’ – India is happening everywhere, it has become a very important country, suddenly. All this is happening in my mind and I portray it. Some of the coolest fashion people are in India, unlike 10 years ago. Today, they know exactly what is happening abroad.

Flavoured condoms? I came up with three Fish Fry (his prêt label) products – Fish Fry cigarettes, Fish Fry condoms and Fish Fry anti-ageing cream. These are three products that people use the most. The anti-ageing cream is for the over forties and there are people who are 60 who also wear my clothes. These are just for fun – this is just my sense of humour.

Style statement? I never mean to make a statement. I just do what I feel like and it always ends up making a statement. I really do not know how that happens!

More than clothes? I would like to make a film one day – that’s my dream. Though right now, I don’t know anything about film making!
