KL Rahul, who is currently in the United Arab Emirates for IPL 2020, announced on September 15 that he has released a new collection of streetwear called ‘KLR edit’. Rahul took to Twitter to announce that he had utilised the lockdown period to dive deeper into some of his other passions, barring cricket. It was then that he came up with the 'KLR edit' collection which he has chosen to release under the brand Gully Live Fast. KL Rahul created the brand in 2018 with a mission to help younger men dress better, according to an interview with Red Bull. The brand now has collections for both men and women on its website. 

Posting a series of pictures on his social media handles, Rahul said that he had created the 'KLR edit' collection to fit his mantra of clothes being both, cool and comfortable. He added that fashion played a huge role in his life and he believes that clothes 'define our personality'. He also said that the collection, his first, is very close to his heart.
