Karwa Chauth in Britain has its own choreography. Sargi happens in the dark, in a cold kitchen, at an unreasonable hour. Then comes the long day of tea you cannot drink. By evening, the flat smells of ghee and mehendi. Somebody’s mum is on video call from Ludhiana. The moon, meanwhile, is hiding behind a […]
Every September, the Ambani driveway turns into the most iconic red carpet in Indian fashion, except of course nobody calls it that. Because everyone arrives with folded hands and kohl-smudged devotion instead of a step-and-repeat. This year the memo was clear: put the weave first. Patola, Paithani, Banarasi, Bandhani, Kanjeevaram, the looks that landed hardest weren’t the […]

Durga Puja in London has grown into one of the diaspora’s most anticipated events of the year. Community pandals spring up across boroughs from Camden to Redbridge, drawing thousands of Bengalis and non-Bengalis alike for festive traditions. But celebrations in London are different.

[…]
Durga Puja has always been about community. Across New York, New Jersey, the Bay Area, Southern California and Boston, Bengali and broader Indian communities gather every autumn to mark the goddess’s homecoming with five days of ritual, food, music and, increasingly, some seriously good outfits. Walk into any pandal these days and you’ll notice something: […]
Your engagement is one of those rare celebrations where romance gets to take centre stage. For Saudi women, that can mean a look that feels polished and feminine while still making an entrance, whether you are hosting an intimate gathering at home, celebrating at a grand venue or planning an elegant evening with family and […]
Mirror work used to mean one thing: heavy, elaborate, and reserved for the one outfit your grandmother insisted you wear to the wedding. It sat in a box labeled “traditional,” rarely mixed with anything remotely modern, and often felt more costume than couture. That box has cracked wide open.
