Karan Johar turns heads with ₹1.56L Schiaparelli brooch
What's the story
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is known for his flamboyant style and love for high-end fashion. Recently, he attended an event in Mumbai wearing a Kanika Goyal suit, accessorized with a bold Schiaparelli Telephone Dial brooch worth ₹1.65L (€1, 850). The unique accessory is made of hammered gold brass and enamel, featuring a telephone dial design inspired by the historic collaboration between Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali.
Unique accessory
Johar's statement handbag by artist Sanuj Birla
Along with the brooch, Johar also carried a one-of-a-kind handbag - Sanuj Birla's Birkin Drip limited edition bag. The bag, which is not available for purchase now, was once listed at ₹2.29L on 1stdibs.com. Interested people can still enquire about it on Birla's site. This unique piece by the Delhi-based artist features a Birkin bag that seems to be melting away, giving an artistic element to Johar's ensemble.
Past trendsetter
Johar's previous fashion statement with braided-hair tie
Johar has a penchant for making fashion statements with his quirky accessories. In October, he attended the launch of luxury skincare/haircare brand Augustinus Bader in Mumbai in a beige suit. But it was his blonde braided-hair tie from Schiaparelli's Autumn-Winter 2024 collection that stole the show. The accessory, made from real hair, retails for ₹1.87L (€2,100) on Schiaparelli's website. To recall, the fashion-conscious filmmaker was applauded for styling his characters in his last directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
