Mayyur Girotra makes history as first South Asian designer to open New York Pride

Couturier Mayyur Girotra is the first-ever South Asian designer chosen to inaugurate New York Pride. On June 2, coinciding with the commencement of Pride month, Mayyur will unveil his highly anticipated luxury pret line, AIKYA, in an exclusive showcase. The event will unfold at Āve – Soho NYC, amplifying India’s burgeoning influence in the global fashion landscape.

Amid the debate in India on same-sex marriage, the Delhi-based banker-turned-designer is channelling his talent to make a powerful statement. Expressing his position on the matter, he shares, “The fundamental right to marry the person you love should not be questioned. It is a basic human right that should be universally recognised.”
