Meet India’s first male model who walked the Versace runway at Milan Fashion Week with Gigi Hadid

The world of global fashion and luxury is synonymous with exclusivity and confinement, often showcasing a narrow and specific definition of beauty and styles. However, with the evolution of this industry, there has been a course of change with the growing emphasis on diversity and inclusivity. The evolving landscape has seen a broader range of diversity giving individuals from different corners of the world a platform to be the face and change the narrative of what is considered to be a global icon on the international stage. Formerly, fashion houses were predominantly focused on Western aesthetics and their style. However now, the significant change that the industry has seen is the increasing representation of talent from different countries that were previously underrepresented. The growth and evolution in global fashion are now embracing a wider array of cultural influences, allowing for a richer, more vibrant tapestry of fashion narratives. Amid this transformation, a young talent from India has emerged as a groundbreaking figure. At just 21 years old, he has made history as the first Indian male model to walk the runway for Versace at Milan Fashion Week besides some of the pioneer supermodels,  like Gigi Hadid.

Hailing from Delhi, his journey to this milestone was fueled by a deep passion for fashion and a relentless drive to succeed. His achievement is not just a personal triumph but a significant moment for the global fashion industry. His presence on the Versace runway is a powerful statement about the changing face of fashion, where talent from diverse backgrounds is finally being recognised and celebrated. For Indian models, who have long faced limited opportunities on international platforms, the success of this young Indian model represents a turning point, paving the way for greater representation of India on international platforms.

If you are wondering who we are talking about, it is none other than the young and talented- Nakul Bhardwaj. Nakul’s story is one of perseverance and resilience. His determination to make his mark in the fashion world saw him overcome numerous challenges, both physical and mental. He spent months rigorously preparing himself for the demands of the international runway, ensuring that he was in peak condition for the opportunity of a lifetime. Nakul has always had a knack for parkour affinities and considers himself a highly competitive person.

In an interview, Nakul spoke about his journey and gave credit to his mother for being his greatest support “My mother motivates me to work hard and remain consistent.” He also acknowledges the importance of this milestone, not just for himself, but for the broader community of aspiring models in India. He hopes that his success will inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how distant they may seem. With his sights set on even greater achievements, Nakul is committed to continuing his journey in the fashion industry, determined to push boundaries and break new ground for Indian talent on the world stage.

In a world where the fashion industry is increasingly embracing diversity, Nakul Bhardwaj stands as a testament to the power of determination and the importance of representation. His journey is a reminder that the global runway is open to all who dare to dream, regardless of where they come from.
