Black and White
What lies behind the closed doors of a designer’s closet? TGIF takes a sneak-peak
A designer’s collection makes one’s closet. But what makes a designer’s closet? For Yubi Thapa, a closet doesn’t need to be colourful but has to be up-to-date. His medium sized wardrobe is mostly dominated by black and white, and flaunts the latest trends designed by Thapa himself. He ensures that nothing is outmoded and his closet has nothing less than the latest seasonal wears. “Your outfits reflect your emotions,” says Thapa. He reveals that he feels most comfortable in formal clothes — tuxedos, suits, blazers,shirts and pants,
occupy large space in his closet.
