Rahi Chadda’s Journey from Law to Luxury and Beyond
How Rahi Turned into a Global Icon? Why do Mega Influencers like Orry, Unnati, Otherwarya, Ruhee, Trinetra and many more Follow Him?
When we think of global icons who gracefully transitioned from traditional careers to the ever-sparkling world of fashion and beauty, Rahi Chadda’s name stands as one of those.
Born into a British-Indian family, Rahi started his career as a law student but later traded courtrooms for catwalks. Today, he is a supermodel, a fashion influencer and a beauty entrepreneur. His story has reinventions and bold decisions that inspire anyone who dreams big.
Let’s get to know the remarkable Chadda.
Early Life and Education
He was born on 21 May 1993 in London, England, to Shivraj and Usha Chadda. Rahi was brought up in a family that values traditional career paths. He earned a Bachelor of Law (LLB) at Oxford Brookes University to fulfil his parents’ wishes. He then completed a Master of Science (MSc) in international employee relations and human resources at the London School of Economics.
Though his academic achievements were distinction, Rahi always felt challenged in the corporate world. So, he longed to be part of the freedom offered by creative, art and fashion careers. He leapt into the fashion industry to break free from expectations, a decision that would redefine his life and courage.
A Fashion Transition
Rahi’s fashion adventures began during his master’s master’s studies. He modelled for a friend’s photo shoot and caught the attention of the British Asian fashion community. Soon, he was asked to give auditions and was selected to walk the ramp for River Island at Lakmé Fashion Week, beginning a notable career.
Eventually, he signed with London’s Storm Vision modelling agency, and that was his turning point. London’s Storm played a major part in collaborations with luxury giants like Alberta Ferretti, Armani, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada.
In 2018, he represented Chopard Fragrances as their brand ambassador at the Cannes Film Festival and started getting noticed in the global fashion industry. By 2021, he was sitting in the front rows at Milan Men’s Fashion Week for brands like Giorgio Armani, Zegna, and Prada, not as a visitor but as a VIP.
If efforts are made, they will not go unnoticed. In 2022, Rahi became one of the first brown male UK ambassadors for Dior Beauty. This achievement highlighted his role in promoting diversity in the beauty-focused world. In 2023, his name appeared in Forbes 30 Under 30, making him a global icon.
Entrepreneurship with The Panache & Marina Skin Clinic
With all the modelling contracts and brand ambassador deals, he started earning more than he ever imagined he could. Eventually, he had to invest smartly yet effectively, which remains close to his heart. Rahi jumped into the entrepreneurial streak in 2015. He launched the Panache & Marina Skin Aesthetic Clinic in London. This was purely personal, as Rahi struggled with acne during his teenage years and often found it challenging to locate effective skincare products.
The clinic provides and works towards personalised skincare solutions and essential elements like SPF, hydration and proper sleep cycles. Rahi endorses not just his but also other products, such as Charlotte Tilbury’sTilbury’s Magic Eye Rescue Cream, Estée Lauder’sLauder’s Advanced Night Repair, 111SKIN’s111SKIN’s Rose Gold Mask and Dr. Barbara Sturm’sSturm’s Anti-Pollution Drops. He also claimed several times that homemade turmeric-based face masks can’t be beaten and that it is one of the best secrets he picked up from his Indian heritage.
Daily Life and Interests
His mornings begin at 7 AM with Pilates or boot camp workouts, and he sets the tone for a productive day by writing and meditating. He splits his time between clinic and attending to various professional commitments.
Rahi enjoys meditation, reading and practising positive affirmations that align with his philosophy of self-care and wellness. He wants to learn the piano and dreams of someday witnessing the northern lights. His childhood memories include cycling near his family’s country home in the Lake District, eating candies, and sipping coffee at local shops.
Notable Achievements and Milestones
- Rahi became the director of Wex and Co in January 2013.
- He took charge as the company director of Chaptar & Co LTD in March 2014.
- He made a cameo appearance in Netflix’s Masaba Masaba in 2020.
- He worked closely with brands like Chopard, Estée Lauder, Paul Hewitt, and Roja Parfums.
- He’s always invited to the high-profile fashion weeks across New York, London, Paris, and Milan.
Skin and Self-Care Tips
Rahi’s glowing skin and polished looks are only possible because of the essentials he uses and their consistency. These include SPF, hydration, and restful sleep. His favourite products are a mix of high-end brands and homemade remedies. Rahi advises a consistent routine for anyone seeking clear skin, including drinking plenty of water and using protective skincare.
Raw Rahi, Behind Everything
Rahi Chadda is loyal to his roots; he supports Indian-owned businesses like Misho Jewellery by Suhani and many small unnamed businesses. His favourite fragrance is Clive Christian’s No.1, which reflects his penchant for the finer things in life. Despite his success, he’s always grounded. He often enjoys walks around London like any other commuter, uses public transport most of the time, and finds time to spend with friends and family.
A journey from a law to a global fashion and beauty icon is amazing. He has not only tasted success for himself but also paved the path for many in the fashion industry. Of course, he’s too modest to reveal those. Whether it’s his collaborations with luxury brands, entrepreneurial ventures, or influence as a beauty ambassador, Rahi continues to inspire a generation.
Through his fearless approach to life, he proves that pursuing one’s passion can lead to extraordinary outcomes. He also creates challenging situations and sets new standards and problems.
At least your problems won’t be poor, unsuccessful and unable to live your desired life.
