The 79th Cannes Film Festival officially opened on May 12, 2026, at the Palais des Festivals on the French Riviera and fashion showed up with a capital F.

The latest Meet the Designer event featuring Ashna Vaswani at Aza Defence Colony, Delhi, brought together the world of fashion and community in a celebration of artisanal excellence. As we continue to translate the world of fashion into a personal language of style, these intimate gatherings serve as a bridge between the creator and the collector.

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate the massive cultural contributions of the South Asian diaspora. When we look at Western pop culture, South Asian talent has completely transformed how we think about style, representation, and identity. For decades, mainstream Western fashion offered a narrow view of beauty. […]
For Italy in 2026, build a capsule of breathable Indo-Chic pieces that bridge two aesthetics — handloom chanderi sets, organza kurtas with palazzos, pre-draped sarees, embroidered co-ords, anarkalis, and one show-stopping lehenga for a destination wedding. Lean into Italy’s natural palette (terracotta, Amalfi lemon, Tuscan gold, Pichwai blue, ivory, sage) and Indian craftsmanship (chikankari, block prints, gota patti, mirror work). Pack one […]
For an Indian American wedding in the USA this summer, plan one outfit per function. Pick breathable fabrics (organza, chanderi, cotton-silk, georgette, mulmul, tissue), lean into Summer 2026’s signature palette — baby pink, butter yellow, sage green, dusty rose, Pichwai blue, silver-grey, and tone-on-tone ivory — and match the formality to the event. A pre-draped saree or lightweight lehenga is the safest summer pick for the main ceremony; […]
For decades, the sherwani dominated men’s wedding fashion. But as grooms increasingly look for ways to blend heritage with sharp, contemporary tailoring, a historic outfit is making a massive comeback. The Achkan—a knee-length coat steeped in royal Indian history—is officially reclaiming its place in the modern groom’s wardrobe. Originally worn by nobles and royalty, this style features a […]
Let’s be real for a second. We stared at beige, greige, and oatmeal matching sets for three consecutive years. The “clean girl” aesthetic had us slicking our hair back, buying identical gold hoop earrings, and whispering our luxury. We bought into the idea that looking expensive meant looking invisible. But suddenly, something shifted. The internet woke […]
An iced coffee is sweating on a small café table. Your shirt feels a little wrinkled from the warm weather. Big sunglasses help hide how late you stayed out. No one here looks like they tried too hard to get dressed, but everyone still looks put together. All over Europe, people dress in a way […]
There is a photograph of Rabindranath Tagore that stops you in your tracks. He stands draped in a long, flowing robe, somewhere between a Brahmo achkan and a Greek philosopher’s cloak, his beard full, his bearing unhurried, entirely himself. No borrowed Western suit. No performative tradition either. Just a man who knew, deeply, what it meant to wear one’s identity. […]
Finding the perfect lehenga can feel overwhelming. You want an outfit that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and stylish. For decades, bold reds, deep maroons, and heavy golds dominated Indian bridal and festive fashion. Now, the tide has shifted entirely. Soft, dreamy hues have taken over the fashion runways and wedding venues. Pastel lehengas offer a refreshing, […]
