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. Designers are stripping mirror work down […]
There is a sound that marks the start of Durga Pujo before anything else does. The dhak. Somewhere between that first beat and the conch shells at Sandhi Puja, wardrobes across Bengal and its diaspora quietly transform. Cotton and handloom sarees gives way to silk. Everyday drapes give way to something with a little more […]
For years, the Indian groom followed a familiar script: heavy sherwani, safe cream palette, a photo op, done. That script is being rewritten. Grooms are now treating their wedding wardrobe the way brides always have—as a chance to say something about who they are. The shift is happening across every detail. Silhouettes are getting sharper. […]
A quiet rebellion is happening at the mehendi table. Brides are looking at hours of dense henna, the smudge risk, the wait for stain to deepen—and asking if there’s a cooler way to do this. There is. It’s called Kundan mehendi, and it treats the hands like a canvas for jewellery rather than a background […]
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 […]
Red has had its moment. So has blush pink, dusty rose, and the endless parade of pastels. The colour quietly stealing the spotlight at Indian weddings right now? Tangerine. Vibrant without being loud, festive without being predictable — tangerine sits in that rare sweet spot that makes an outfit genuinely memorable. This isn’t just a […]
Janmashtami dressing for little ones doesn’t have to mean a full Krishna crown or a literal Radha recreation. The real magic of dressing children for this celebration lies in something more subtle — borrowing the colours, textures, florals and joyful energy that define the Radha-Krishna aesthetic and translating them into festive kidswear that feels contemporary, […]
Gen Z could sucessfully do what the previous generation deemed impossible: they made Indian wear cool without making it feel like a history lesson.The kurta got a little more dramatic. The sharara got a little more attitude. The cape entered the chat. And somewhere along the way, the humble ethnic set went from “What should I wear to […]
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 […]
Celebrating Onam in Sydney’s Parramatta Park, a Melbourne community hall, or a Brisbane backyard changes the setting — not the feeling. There’s still the same rush of flower rangoli going down, the same chaos of Sadya being plated, and that particular joy of being dressed in something that makes you feel unmistakably yourself. What has […]
