Aza Kolkata hosted an extraordinary Meet-the-Designer event at its landmark destination. The afternoon spotlighted three distinctive designers—Sheetal Batra, Istya, and Soup by Sougat Paul. Guests enjoyed a rare opportunity to meet the creative forces in person, experience the new collections up close, and discuss the design stories shaping this season’s wardrobes. Where Craft Meets Conversation […]
Menswear is loosening up. Not in a chaotic, anything-goes kind of way — more like a slow exhale after years of playing it safe. The sheer shirt is at the center of that shift, and it’s moved well past the runway experiments and celebrity red carpet moments that first put it on the map. Right […]
Most guys circle through the same four colours on rotation. Black shirt. White tee. Navy blazer. Grey trousers. Repeat. It’s not a bad uniform—but it’s not exactly memorable, either. Here’s the thing: colour doesn’t mean loud. The right shade, worn the right way, can make a relaxed kurta look considered, a simple co-ord look editorial, […]
There’s a particular kind of pleasure in watching a character’s clothing do the heavy lifting. Not in a theatrical, costume-drama way — but quietly, almost imperceptibly, the way a real person’s wardrobe shifts when their life does. Sudha, played by Vedika Pinto in Musafir Cafe, is exactly that kind of character. Her outfits don’t announce […]
Some evenings simply feel different. On 29th July 2026, Aza Bandra became that kind of evening — a beautifully curated showcase where designer fashion, compelling craftsmanship, and a high-profile guest list converged in one of Mumbai’s most celebrated fashion destinations. At the heart of it all was Varun Chakilam, presenting his latest collection to an […]
The saree has always been timeless. But 2027? It’s rewriting the rules — and the blouse is where all the action is happening. Brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests alike are shifting their focus from the drape to the detail. The blouse, once considered secondary, is fast becoming the most directional piece of the entire look. […]
There’s a certain kind of designer who doesn’t follow trends—they quietly create them. Arpita Mehta is exactly that. While the fashion world was busy chasing maximalism for its own sake, she was doing something far more interesting: making occasion wear that felt effortless. Lehengas you actually want to move in. Saris that look like they […]
Fashion has always played with volume. But right now, the conversation has shifted from simply adding fabric to sculpting it and balloon pants are leading that charge. This season’s most talked-about silhouette isn’t understated. It’s structured, considered, and unmistakably intentional. If you’ve been paying attention to the runways, the street-style circuits, and even the quieter […]
Every awards season leaves us with a handful of looks we’ll forget by next week. And then there’s that one outfit you keep coming back to, not because it’s dramatic or trend-heavy, but because everything about it just works. Ananya Panday’s look at the Filmfare Awards Marathi 2026 was exactly that. While the red carpet […]
The bridal conversation has shifted. Where once a bride’s styling story began and ended with her lehenga and jewellery, today’s modern bride understands something the fashion world has long known: it’s the finishing touches that define the look. The dupatta has been reconsidered, the maang tikka reimagined, and now, bridal hair styling is having its […]
