Bernard Chandran on fatherhood and how he keeps it 'real' with his kids


The Chandrans are one big happy and colourfully-dressed family. Pictured here (from left) are Terimunite, Tanestrran, Bernard, Trunan, Mary, Thanya and Tanzanite.

He is known for designing beautiful clothes. His grand runway shows often stun and impress with elaborate setups. Yet, Datuk Sri Bernard Chandran on any given day – is just a dedicated father.

The 52-year-old is very much the doting dad. Married to Datin Sri Mary Lourdes, 56, who is a former model, he has five gorgeous children: Terimunite, 26; Trunan, 24; Tanzanite, 22; Tanestrran, 19, and Thanya, 18.
