After strutting the ramp for designer Ramesh Dembla at the 2017 India Luxury Style Week Men’s Edition, Akshay Kumar is set to hit the global runway next year.

Talking about the fashion week, which concluded on Sunday, Dembla, also the curator and managing director of the show, says, “We plan to take the show to a global audience. For the timebeing, we are targeting Dubai, UK, USA, Canada and Australia. A concrete plan is yet to be chalked out.”

Since its inception in 2015, the fashion show has had Kumar as the showstopper. Designers Rohit Verma, Sumit Das Gupta, Himmat Singh and Ken Ferns showcased their collections this year.

Without revealing further details, Kumar confesses to have given his nod to the collaboration next year. “Akshay will be on board. He has been our greatest strength, sharing his inputs at every stage. He ideates on choreography, and suggests ways to make every show different. I am sure he will help us with the forthcoming edition too.”
