Khushi Kapoor once again proves that the magic lies in the details. From the glimmer of Mukaish embroidery to the playful flicker of mirror-work, her Jo Malone Diwali bash look in Mumbai, strikes that perfect balance between old-world craftsmanship and modern glamour. Outfit in question: her head-turning purple Arpita Mehta gown. And if you’re looking […]
Stripes have never really gone away, but this season they’ve come back to take over. After a long stretch of hushed, minimal dressing, fashion is turning up the volume, and stripes are leading the charge. The Spring/Summer 2027 season began in New York with bold stripes that simply couldn’t go unnoticed. Proenza Schouler and Tommy […]
If a painting could leave its frame, wear a thousand embellishments and walk into a room, it might look something like this. At Swadesh’s first anniversary, Isha Ambani arrived in a Torani lehenga that brought Radha and Krishna to life in a riot of colour, craft and couture. Ten artisans, 90 days and 2,000 hours […]
Navratri has never been shy, but this year it got articulate. The nine nights belong to dandiya and devotion, and the wardrobes of Bollywood’s best have turned them into a masterclass in Indian craft. Patola dupattas that pour like stained glass. Bandhani in sapphire and plum. Ashavali brocade that took five months to weave. Cowrie […]
Some outfits are engineered to grab all your attention. Janhvi Kapoor’s recent white saree, however, earned it by doing the opposite: a hush of ivory, then a burst of gold, garnet and green exactly where you least expect it. At the Business of Fashion BoF 500 Gala in Paris on October 3, the Gen Z style […]
Some looks arrive like a whisper. Alia Bhatt’s finale walk at Manish Malhotra’s 15 Years of Mijwan show was exactly that: held in Mumbai on September 26, hushed, luminous and impossible to look away from. Think ivory silk caught in candlelight, with chikankari doing the talking. The Saree That Made Ivory Feel Extraordinary This […]
For a generation that has made quiet luxury, personal style and breaking tradition part of the fashion conversation, Gen Z is surprisingly drawn to one very traditional symbol: the big diamond engagement ring. But this isn’t simply about wanting the biggest stone in the room. For Gen Z, a statement diamond is becoming a way […]
The saree is having a bridal makeover. Across the USA, brides are looking beyond the classic drape and choosing silhouettes that feel more fashion-forward, effortless, and distinctly their own. Think corseted blouses, pre-draped silhouettes, dramatic capes, ruffles, belts, and sculptural details that bring a couture sensibility to the six yards. From the wedding ceremony to […]
There is something almost architectural about a drop waist. It refuses to sit where a waistline is supposed to sit, sliding down toward the hips instead and rewriting the rules of proportion in one quiet move. Born out of the flapper era, resurrected in every decade that wanted to look a little rebellious, the silhouette […]
Some outfits get styled. Ananya Panday’s recent gown got engineered. Outfit in question, her latest red carpet appearance, a deep bronze gown from Rahul Mishra’s Fall 2026 couture line, “Devi: The Eternal Muse”, didn’t so much dress a body as translate one, borrowing its entire vocabulary from stone instead of a sketchbook. In a season of safe, […]
