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, […]
Forty years in, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla don’t do subtlety — and their anniversary night at Mubarak Baug proved it. Four decades of reviving Chikankari, layering Zardozi and treating embroidery like architecture called for a guest list that could match the scale: the Ambani women in full couture regalia, Dimple Kapadia rewriting the rules […]

Menswear has always had its classics: the straight kurta, the structured sherwani, the dependable Nehru jacket. But lately, designers are drawing outside those familiar lines. Geometric menswear is bringing angles, grids, prisms, lines and abstract motifs into traditional wardrobes, giving occasion dressing a more contemporary point of view. The appeal is easy to see. Geometric […]
Some outfits whisper. Sonam Kapoor’s latest doesn’t, it recites poetry. For her most recent appearance, the actor traded her usual palette-play for total blackout, letting a single, spectacular anarkali carry an entire evening’s worth of drama. No colour to hide behind, no prints to distract, just silhouette, craft, and jewellery doing very deliberate lifting. Styled by […]
Gone are the days when Jewellery used to finish an outfit. Now, it can be the outfit. Yes, for Gen Z and young fashion enthusiasts, the jewellery box is anything but boring. They are no longer making way for predictable pieces but are about little pieces that mirror the wearer’s personality. A sculptural ear cuff, a […]
There was a time when necklines were an afterthought. The outfit did the talking, and everything above the collarbone simply followed along. Not anymore. In 2026, the conversation has shifted to a detail that changes the entire mood of a look without demanding attention: the V-neckline. From festive dressing to vacation wardrobes, the V-neck is […]
