He was one of the most iconic & original designers in fashion & A champion for LGBT rights .
He had given me an opportunity to close his fashion week show in Mumbai after spotting me in Bangalore at a fashion show and was gracious, kind & encouraging. He was one of the reasons I had the courage to move to Mumbai from Bangalore to pursue modelling when I was just 18 years old .
RIP Wendell ?
