ORRY On His Favourite Brand, Bollywood Bestie, And His Recent Collaboration With Adidas India | Exclusive
Harper’s Bazaar Arabia (HBA): What are the 3 things you cannot live without?
Orhan Awatramani (OA): So it would be:
- Minoxidil & finasteride
- Insoles with about 2-3 inches of added height
- Homemade basic aloe Vera gel made by my mother in a kitchen
HBA: What would you say are fashion staples everyone needs to invest in?
OA: I don’t wear staples, I buy a new outfit for every event.
HBA: What are your favourite brands and why?
OA: For traditional Indian wear, Faraz Manan, obviously. And for street style, Balenciaga. Controversy is key.
HBA: Who do you follow for style inspiration?
OA: Not one person out there is relevant enough for me to cop their fit.
HBA: Your Bollywood Best friend that has an on-point style game?
OA: Janhvi Kapoor, obviously & quite self explanatory.
HBA: Since you just came back from Dubai, what would you say was your favourite moment and look from the trip?
OA: The Atlantis Water Park. I am a total thrill seeker. The look was a shockingly bright yellow Moschino t-shirt with matching short swim trunks and of course, the statement goggles that had giant eye lashes coming out of them was a moment.
HBA: Your favourite fashion show or event that you attended? Any interesting story about that?
OA: Balenciaga’s Summer’23 show. Stated in a mud pit, opened by Kanye West and featuring so many top models like Bella Hadid. This show was the most memorable for me. And funny story, I thought the mud pit was all fake fun and just decor, and me being me, I walked right into it and found myself stuck mid-calf deep. I ended up having to hose myself down backstage just so I could get into my car ride back home.
I also did get to meet Demna and Alexa Demie back stage, but after you have voluntary fallen into a mud pool nothing else can be a memory.
HBA: We saw you are hosting something for Adidas India. Tell us a bit about that and why did you decide to do this exciting project?
OA: Honestly, I never ever do brand collabs, I don’t actually consider myself an influencer. Influential, yes, influencer no. But when Adidas reached out, I was on board because I love the brand. So I am launching their new Originals in India. The launch is at a small bar, Slink & Bardot, and we are transforming the space into a really cool experiential house party.
I guess I am also known for throwing some cool house parties in Mumbai, like my Halloween party last year & the jungle party I hosted for my friend Tania Shroff’s birthday recently, so the house party theme just clicked. We usually dress the house in décor to make it a club; here, we’re dressing the club with décor to make it a house.
HBA: Any future projects you are working on?
OA: Me. I am the project. I am always working on me.
HBA: And lastly, What are your travel plans for 2023?
OA: Antarctica. I really want to visit Antarctica and that too in full Antarctic fashion. If you see any photos of me landing up there .. you’ll know I’m on destinies path.
