Top Indian male fashion bloggers
Fashion blogging is one of the most visible niches in blogging. It is dominated by ladies, but there are some prominent male lifestyle bloggers too.
In India, fashion blogging by/ for males came a bit late and we don't have many blogs devoted to male fashion. I showcase here two top male fashion bloggers from India. Each of them excels in fashion and - as is the basic principle of success in blogging of any type - they are passionate about fashion.
Purushu Arie
Purushu Arie is a fashion designer, illustrator, stylist and fashion blogger since 2009 and "founder of India's first gender-neutral label". He is a strong votary of neutrality of gender, age, race, appearance and other cultural differences.
On the blog, Purushu not only talks of contemporary Indian and global fashion, he talks of history of fashion and cultural influences on fashion (and vice versa). As he claims, his posts also cover gender neutrality in fashion.
