6 degrees of style with John Abraham : Bollywood News

Monikkers like Uncle and father of modern Indian biking apart, John Abraham retains his place as a youth icon.

Think John Abraham, and you either picture the dapper Jai Mittal of Taxi No 9211, or Dhooms chic Kabir. Hardly surprising then, that his name has become synonymous with a unique kind of style: laidback, yet elegant.

Taking time off from a shoot for the new Bikers range of eyewear from Timex Fasttrack, Abraham spoke about his sense of style, his label and how he doesnt mind being called Uncle.

What makes him tick as an ambassador for youth products:

I think I have been where the youth is today, in terms of life in school, college and achieving aspirations. In that sense, I think I am able to connect with them.

On his personal style statement:

I recently received a comment from someone who said I dressed very simply. As an afterthought that same person then said, maybe thats what appeals to the youth. Thats my style, simple, but very cool.

On his line of clothing, called John Abraham:

I am wearing my own pair of jeans right now. Whenever my name is attached to any product, I get involved in the whole cause. The line, John Abraham, also has my similar involvement. Its a niche line, and when it was launched, we took a decision to market it through word of mouth, and the response that we had was amazing.
