If Clothes alone don't maketh a man, then what does?

The saying “Clothes maketh the man” has been a long-standing belief implying that one’s appearance is the sole defining factor of their identity and worth. However, this notion is not only outdated but also reductive, as it disregards the multifaceted nature of human beings. While personal grooming and fashion can certainly be an aspect of one’s presentation, they do not define a person’s character or their ability to succeed in life.
We must shift our focus from outward appearances to inner qualities that make a person truly great. True confidence and completeness come from a well-rounded set of skills and qualities that include emotional intelligence, empathy, self-awareness, and critical thinking. These traits are essential for a person’s success in all aspects of life, including personal relationships, career, and personal growth.
Instead of relying on superficial factors like clothing and appearance, we need to encourage men to embrace a more holistic approach to personal development. Men must learn to cultivate a deep sense of self-awareness, to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and to develop strategies to overcome challenges. They must also practice empathy, to understand and connect with others on a deeper level, and to be more socially responsible.
By emphasizing these qualities, we can help men build a stronger sense of identity and purpose, which will ultimately lead to more confident, successful, and fulfilled lives. It’s time to move beyond the idea that clothes make the man and recognize that true greatness comes from within.

CDMTM is the acronym for Clothes Don’t Maketh The Man. The program started as a digital initiative during the first Covid-19 lockdown and was aimed at helping men get better in various aspects of their everyday life including health, fitness, relationships, money matters, communication, technology, social media, personal grooming, sustainable fashion and styling. 

We believe that the old saying ‘Clothes Maketh The Man’  still holds good, but that is only the visible component of the idea. There is a bigger and an invisible component to being a complete man. CDMTM aims to introduce & educate men about both the sides of this long held belief about beauty and style. While looking good and being presentable are essential, qualities like integrity, tolerance, gratitude, generosity, honesty, patience, etc,. are important for wholistic growth. 

The online learning and mentoring sessions will be held every Sunday between 7pm and 9pm. The learning sessions  will continue for 12-15 weeks depending on the availability of mentors, etc. 

We will also be scheduling styling & grooming sessions for which the finalists will need to physically be present at a partner store or salon. There could be 2-3 such engagements every month. 

Overall, the finalists will be required to set aside 2-4 hours every week for the program. 

You must be 18 years of age on the 1st of September 2023. If you are less than 18 years of age on the 31st of August 2023, please wait for the next season of CDMTM. 

CDMTM is India’s first hybrid mentoring program for men. The approach is holistic. The program covers various aspects like communication, technology, entrepreneurship, spirituality, time management, financial discipline, personal grooming and style. There is a modelling component to the program but the focus is on being a role model than just a conventional model. 

All applicants must pay the registration fee when submitying their registration form. There is absolutely no other fee or any hidden charges. The Finalists will go through the program without having to pay for anything. 

CDMTM is an initiative by DIScover India Studios in association with the Australian Supermodel of the Year Organisation.
