Shilpa Hazra, a wardrobe wordsmith and a proud mom of a spirited two-year-old, spins fashion stories that speak every language. Off the keyboard, she escapes into Rabindranath Tagore's poetic universe, stirs up flavorful tales in her kitchen and drafts silent stories from the corners of her favorite cafes.
Fashion in India has never been just about clothing. It is memory stitched into fabric, tradition wrapped in craftsmanship, and stories passed from one generation to the next. Long before sustainability became a buzzword, Indian families were already doing the work, carefully preserving treasured sarees, heirloom jewellery, embroidered shawls, and handcrafted textiles for the generations still to come. From a grandmother’s Banarasi saree to […]
Some brands preserve tradition. Ekaya Banaras reimagines it. Renowned for bringing the artistry of Banarasi weaving into contemporary wardrobes, Ekaya Banaras has become one of India’s most celebrated luxury textile labels. Every collection reflects the richness of centuries-old craftsmanship while embracing modern silhouettes, understated elegance, and effortless wearability. The result is clothing that feels deeply rooted in heritage yet perfectly suited to […]
Raksha Bandhan in the USA often looks a little different. Maybe you’re tying rakhi before heading out for brunch, hosting a backyard barbecue with family, or squeezing celebrations between work meetings and weekend plans. The last thing many women want is a 10-kilo lehenga, a dupatta that refuses to stay put, or an outfit that feels more exhausting than festive. […]
Raksha Bandhan isn’t just a thread on the wrist; it’s an excuse to dress like the occasion means something. Whether you’re headed to a family lunch with your brother across the world or hosting the whole clan at home, the right outfit does half the talking. This edit moves through three silhouettes, the flare of an Anarkali, the swing of a Sharara, the drape of […]
Eid Milad-un-Nabi in the UAE is observed with reverence, reflection, and togetherness. Whether you’re attending a family gathering, a community event, or an intimate evening of remembrance, your outfit often reflects the spirit of the occasion: graceful, modest, and thoughtfully chosen. While trends come and go, some silhouettes remain favourites year after year. For Eid Milad celebrations, few styles capture elegance […]
A runway can introduce a collection but a conversation with its designer brings it to life. On 11th July 2026, Aza Ambawatta invited fashion lovers to step beyond the garments and meet the creative minds behind them. The exclusive Meet the Designer event featured Jigar Mali from 2 PM to 4 PM and Salil Bhatia from 4 PM […]
Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Saudi Arabia isn’t loud. It’s reflective, warm, and deeply rooted in faith and community, family gatherings that linger long into the evening, conversations shared over Arabic coffee and dates, and moments of remembrance observed with sincerity and grace. It’s a celebration that asks for reverence first and festivity second. Much like the elegance seen in modest dresses for women and timeless Saudi festive fashion, the focus remains on […]
Some love stories don’t need a press release. They need a church, a cathedral-length veil, and one perfectly timed Instagram reel. Jennifer Winget just gave us exactly that. With a series of dreamy bridal-inspired visuals, the actor stepped into a world of romance, elegance, and old-world charm. The internet paused, zoomed in, and immediately started asking the same question: […]
There are fashion shows, and then there are the ones that make you forget you’re sitting in a convention centre in Mumbai. Gaurav Gupta’s second independent India couture outing, Light Song, staged at the Jio World Convention Centre, belonged firmly to the latter camp. Poetry recited live, acrobats from Cirque de India suspended mid-air, mridangams and veenas humming […]
There’s a reason your feed has been flooded with deep indigo and rust-red prints lately. Ajrakh, one of India’s oldest surviving textile crafts, is having a full-blown red carpet moment.
