Sydney’s Style queen Karan Kaur is fast becoming a household name in the international Sikh community.

Karan Kaur, of Glendenning in Sydney, is the first female Sikh fashion blogger in the world to make her turban the centrepiece of her blog.

Accordign to Daily Telegraph, Miss Kaur started her Instagram fashion blog Style At the urging of her friendsabout seven months ago and now has more than 7000 followers.

“My friends and family were like ‘you should really start up a fashion blog for Sikh women’- because obviously, when we’re representing our religion, you have to wear modest clothing and still be fashionable,” she said.

“So I was actually going to start up a website but I thought I’d start up an Instragram Twitter and Facebook because that’s so much more important these days,

“I was like, I’ll just start up instagram and see where it goes.”

The blog took off quicker than Miss Kaur expected with about 1000 followers within the first month.

“I would get personal messages from people (around the world) that would ask me, ‘I have my prom coming up. I want to wear … modest clothing’. So people ask me what’s an alternative.

The 20-year-old business student is now preparing to study fashion next year and create her website to inspire other Sikh women to wear the turban.

“This is my turban. this is the main reason I started Style With Kaur,” she said.

“Living in a western society wear you’re putting yourself out there with social media. It’s a really hard thing.

“You know people are saying you shouldn’t put your religion and fashion together. It doesn’t go hand in hand. It’s just stupid comments like that.

“But obviously the positive response has honestly been overwhelming and overshadows the negative”.

One day Miss Kaur wants to design Sikh ­garments that mix modern styles and traditional ­values.

“I would love to design clothing or to cater for Sikh women’s needs or other religion needs as well.”

Designing clothes and blogging is not the end for Miss Kaur, she would also like to introduce the turban to the runway.

“In other countries Sikh men have modelled for Louis Vuitton and Tommy Halfinger, Gap and been the face of Samsung and it’s all been men, it’s not been a Sikh woman that’s modelled.

“I would love to change that; I would love to model for Chanel or Louis Vuitton.”

Singh Street Style, run by male blogger Pardeep Singh Bahrawas, was the first fashion blog to feature turban-centred outfits.

Nam Japo

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
