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 […]
Bollywood has never just told stories through dialogue. It has told them through fabric, silhouette and colour. Some characters live on in our collective memory not because of a single scene but because of what they wore in it. A backless blouse, a chiffon saree caught mid twirl, a nose ring that became a whole […]
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 […]
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 […]
Kiara Advani’s break from the spotlight just ended with two outfit changes, not one. After a gothic moment in a black velvet-and-lace Manish Malhotra saree for her Toxic promotions in Hyderabad, she pivoted hard, from midnight velvet to molten gold, in a three-piece look from Yash Patil’s label That Antiquepiece.

There’s a reason every couture conversation this season keeps circling back to one name. Anamika Khanna has quietly turned Anshula Kapoor and Rohan Thakkar’s wedding festivities into her own personal showcase, dressing practically the entire Kapoor clan in pieces that took months, sometimes years of relationships to create. From hand-embroidered capes to heirloom fabric reborn, here’s how the designer kept delivering masterpiece after […]
Picture the deck of a cruise gliding past the Toronto skyline as the sun melts into Lake Ontario. The DJ drops a Pritam classic, the dance floor fills, and everyone’s outfit is catching the golden hour light just right. Bollywood cruise parties have become one of the hottest tickets in Canada’s desi summer calendar, popping […]
There is a moment at every Indian wedding when someone walks in and the entire room quietly turns. Not the bride, not the groom. The wedding guest who got it exactly right. The saree is pressed to perfection, the blouse is something between art and architecture, and the dupatta falls like it was placed there by someone with a theology degree in fabric. […]
Something quietly radical is happening at Indian weddings. Brides are trading in centuries of red for something quieter, cleaner, and frankly more cinematic-white It feels especially of the moment in a year where soft, understated tones are dominating fashion conversations alongside Pantone’s Colour of the Year. What was once considered inauspicious is now the most aspirational shade on the shaadi circuit. And […]
There is something almost poetic about fashion returning to what it was always meant to be, graceful, layered, and deeply rooted. And right now, no trend captures that spirit better than the dupatta saree. Not the saree alone. Not a dupatta sitting sadly on a hanger. But both, together, in motion, creating something that is part heritage, part runway, and […]
