As a kid, I was fascinated by my grandmother’s collection of handwoven sarees. (After thoroughly examining the inhabitants of my own ‘saree closet’ now, I think I was genetically predisposed to hoarding these handcrafted sartorial marvels.) But as much as I loved the demure chanderis and supple linens and beautiful pochampallis, they seldom kept me […]
While everybody who’s somebody in this grand fashionscape has been busy raving about the Couture Week, my discerning eye was deconstructing looks belonging to a particular somebody from well within a much more local radius. I’m talking about Sharmin Segal – who’s slowly, but steadily on her way to becoming a household name, given that […]
Regardless of whether your style is really low-key or your wardrobe is a literal manifestation of this year’s Met Gala red carpet (camp, duh!), chances are, you’ve always looked at a character or two on-screen and found your sartorial match in them. For the purpose of this style edit, we looked at a bevy of […]
If you’ve ever wondered what sets apart a bride of the Y2K milieu from the members of a slightly older bridal camp, it is the ease with which she subverts rules that are out of alignment with her new-age femininity.

If I took a bite out of a cake (preferably the red velvet one from Love & Cheesecake) every time someone mentioned ‘celebrity airport looks’, I’d be so big I’d probably have to be rolled down the aisle – assuming that I’ve managed to squeeze my way through the airplane door first. Although I’m glad […]
As arbitrators of style around here, we usually have our hands full with a bevy of collections that make their way from the runway and directly on to our website. And although it’s almost always difficult to love only one collection so much that we start swearing by it on social media and name-dropping the […]
I’ll be honest, even the Paris Fashion Week – perhaps one of the most important annual events, spread over the starting two slices of the calendar, where the precedent for any and every major sartorial trend is set by the biggest creative directors and their mercantile liaisons for future seasons – doesn’t come close to […]
Think Women’s Day and, chances are, you can only conjure images of somewhat agitated women throwing verbal grenades about empowerment and breaking – more like obliterating – the glass ceiling. I would have probably nodded in complete unison about this connotation had I not been transcribing my thoughts into words in an environment that’s fueled […]
