Bornon Jun 9, 1985, Indian actress and fashion icon Sonam Kapoor remains the only Bollywood star who has graced the cover of Prestige. ,
Shot by Anushka Menon.
Happy days.
Mumbai born, Singapore educated, Sonam revolutionised Western fashion in India and brought designer names into the desi fashion lexicon. Not all have the posture and pulchritude to pull it off... but that's another story. Rumour has it (I used to use the phrase 'legend has it'... but that magazine makes it impossible to use in common vernacular), that her younger sister Rhea Kapoor is the curator and architect of Sonam's sartorial selects and designer dreams. The stylish, stylist sisters could be on top of the fashion heap... alas, they only work with and work for each other. Well, mostly.
Sonam gets more than her fair share of criticism for her frank and outspoken nature, but we can only lean in on how our experience was. She was on time, she was professional, she gave great and fun quotes and did one of the best photoshoots ever (also, take a bow photographer Anoushka Menon).
I worked on this project from remote - we were in Central, Hong Kong office and everything was happening in Mumbai studios.. Chaotic. In the best way possible...
Till date, Sonam Kapoor remains the only Indian star to grace the cover of Prestige.
More on that... for another date.
