Sonny Caberwal - first Sikh super model in Germany's GQ photo shoot

Remember my previous article about Sonny Caberwal being featured in Kenneth Cole's adverts. That time he made many people proud. He did it again!

American Sikh Sonny Caberwal has become the international face of the prestigious German men's magazine GQ in spring-summer collection 2009. Finally the stereotypes are broken. I suppose there is a big road ahead of Mr Singh but he did it again.

"It's not about me, but about Sikh identity and about our culture and traditions being shown in a positive light to people around the world," the Mail Today quoted Caberwal as saying in Mumbai.

Kenneth Cole - Sikh model

"We all Walk in Different Shoes"
A few days ago, Kenneth Cole unveiled one of his new ads on a wall of Rockefeller Center in New York City. The model is, surprisingly, a sardar.
The campaign features Sandeep (aka: Sonny) Caberwal as a Sikh and in the below video he explains about being a Sikh and standing out.

Sonny Caberwal grew up in a small town in North Carolina.
He’s a practicing Sikh and an entrepreneur.
Still in his 20s, Sonny is the joint owner of Tavlon Tea Bar in New York City – a lounge that sells gourmet loose-leaf tea and tea accessories.
He graduated Duke University in 2001 and went on to graduate from Georgetown University Law Center in 2004.
He currently resides in New York.
