Manavendra Singh Gohil, the Prince of Rajpipla who caused a nationwide stir by coming out of the closet in 2006 and declaring that he is Gay was recently in New York. Being a part of the Raj and a Gay caught the Americans’ fascination and was lapped up by the rag-mag – V Magazine, which did a feature on him.
The interesting bit however is that Manavendra Gohil was fortunate to be shot by none other than the inimitable photographer STEVEN KLEIN and the shoot was styled by the Creative Director of Thierry Mugler and the stylist of Pop-Diva, Lady Gaga NICOLA FORMICHETTI.
Manavendra Singh Gohil however didn’t wear anything of Mugler. The Prince wore his traditional Sherwani and Safa!
Nice post. I like the V Magazine article written on the Prince.
