Kashyap presented sixteen men’s outfits inspired by Zubeen Garg’s distinctive fashion, incorporating gamosa, arnai and other traditional scarves into inventive headgear and garments. The pieces included hats, harem trousers, vibrant shirts, short kurtas, loose pyjamas and jackets, paired with bold accessories such as ear studs and neckpieces.

Eighteen male models showcased the designs on the runway under the choreography of Harsh Gautam, a well-known fashion choreographer from Delhi.
