Colours Of Couture: A Personal Journey Into AiSPi x Varun Bahl’s Artful Universe By Sakshi Batra Colours Of Couture: A Personal Journey Into AiSPi x Varun Bahl’s Artful Universe 20 December 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement As I stepped into the enchanting world of AiSPi “Colours of Couture” at Varun Bahl’s flagship store in Mehrauli, Delhi. I was greeted by a sensory experience that felt like stepping into a living canvas. This wasn’t just a trunk show, it was an art gallery, a fashion wonderland where every piece was a work of art, and every corner told a story of elegance, tradition, and innovation. The event showcased the perfect union of Indian Couture and Global Luxury. AiSPi brings over 40+ luxury global designers from Italy to France to Turkey to Japan, Brazil and beyond that brought their distinct visions to life, presenting designs that spanned the globe, from avant-garde silhouettes to timeless classics. As I walked through the creation, I couldn’t help but admire the thoughtful details that merged artistry and fashion so seamlessly. This AiSPi X Varun Bahl event pushed the boundaries of what we usually know, transforming fashion into art. What stood out for me was the way each piece offered not just aesthetic beauty but also a narrative through expertly told stories. The textures, patterns, and silhouettes felt like poetry woven into fabric, each telling a story of heritage, modernity, and craftsmanship set against the mesmerizing interiors of Varun Bahl’s flagship store. "Colours of Couture" felt like a sensory escape, offering a serene and beautiful heaven, far removed from the chaos of the world. Emergence & Upcycling: A Vision of Sustainable Couture Adding to the glamour of the event and celebrating over two decades of excellence in the industry, the designer “Varun Bahl” also known as the “Couturier of Flowers” unveiled his much-anticipated collection, "Emergence & Upcycling." This collection draws inspiration from the art of upcycling, reimagining past garments with a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern couture to create truly unique pieces. Each garment was a masterpiece, embodying the evolution of fashion as old fabrics were deconstructed and reborn into stunning new forms. The collection emphasized sustainability with its intricate patchwork, layered textures, and symbolic representations of transformation. Witnessing his curations was a surreal experience, showcasing the power of reinvention through art. Highlights from the Trunk Show One of the event's highlights was the exclusive customization corner by the Italian luxury accessories brand, “ Rosantica ” - A true celebration of Italian craftsmanship and bold design, every piece showcased carried its own unique story. While the collection boasted an array of extraordinary creations, a few stood out to me for their distinctive character, charm, and individuality: Rosantica Holli Osiris Bag A true statement piece, the Holli Osiris Bag or the pearl bag by Rosantica felt like carrying a piece of the ocean in your hands. This mini bag is encrusted with scores of lustrous faux pearls; its intricate design spoke of timeless luxury. It was the kind of bag that could elevate any outfit be it an evening gown or a saree with its opulent charm. Adding a personal touch, the customization corner allowed me to make it uniquely mine, ensuring it was not just an accessory but a personal heirloom. This statement bag is a must-have for any collection. Rosantica Mini Porcino Bag Playful yet sophisticated, the Mini Porcino Bag or for people like me a mushroom bag was an unexpected delight. This limited edition of Rosantica was inspired by the original shape of mushroom, made with golden brass structure embellished with red, clear & champagne-coloured crystals. Its whimsical design caught my eye immediately, it was a blend of fun and fashion that stood out in a room full of couture. What I loved most was how it defied traditional notions of luxury, proving that high fashion can have a sense of humour. Its bold design made it not just an accessory but a conversation starter, perfect for someone who wants to make a quirky yet stylish statement. Rosantica Spiga 50 teodora Bag AiSPi, in collaboration with Varun Bahl, paid homage to the designer’s signature style as the "couturier of flowers" with a bag that instantly captivated me. Adorned with intricate hand-embroidered blooms and shimmering rhinestones, this piece beautifully reflected Varun’s exceptional craftsmanship. The seamless blend of traditional Indian artistry with a modern aesthetic made it an absolute standout for me. Carrying it felt like holding a garden in your hands - a serene, wearable masterpiece that effortlessly brings a touch of romance to any outfit and makes you feel like a princess. The Allure of Fashion as Art What made this event extraordinary was how it transcended the boundaries of fashion. It wasn’t just about shopping; it was about experiencing a different world together. Varun Bahl’s “Emergence and Upcycling” collection, for instance, was a powerful reminder of the potential in reimagining the old into something new and vibrant. His focus on patchwork, deconstructed textures, and sustainable craftsmanship was inspiring, proving that luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand. Naso Profumi Adding to the immersive experience was the presence of “ Naso Profumi ”, whose artisanal fragrances added a sensory layer to the event. The air was scented with notes crafted from locally sourced ingredients from distilleries in North India, making every moment feel even more magical. A Celebration of Uniqueness Colours of Couture wasn’t just a fashion event, it was a celebration of individuality, artistry, and culture. From Rosantica’s customizable bags to Varun Bahl’s handcrafted masterpieces, every piece encouraged attendees to embrace their personal style and tell their unique story. Walking out of the store, I felt inspired, not just by the designs I had seen but by the narratives they embodied. This was more than just a trunk show, it was a reminder of the transformative power of fashion as wearable art. Iconic Pieces and Inspiring Personalities The trunk show was filled with captivating pieces that stole the spotlight, including a fur bag, chic shades, and a pill bag, each one a true masterpiece. The event also saw the presence of several influencers, such as Sumaya Dalmia , Varun Pratap , Chandni Girdhar , Meghna Pahwa , Agou Hengoulal Sitlhou , and Amrita Mehra, along with the visionary behind the floral creations, Varun Bahl himself.

Personal Growth And Relatability: Ishita Khanna's Key To Influencer Success by Akshra Khandelwal Personal Growth And Relatability: Ishita Khanna's Key To Influencer Success 26 August 2023 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Ishita Khanna, a renowned digital content creator, has carved her own niche in the lifestyle and fashion space for over three years. In an exclusive interaction, we sat down with Ishita to deep dive into the world of content creation in an ever-evolving digital landscape, what drives her to create relatable content for audiences, lifestyle and grooming hacks, the importance of self-care and her approach to personal development. "Work's been incredible. If I talk about my typical work day, it has a lot of team huddles, meetings with brands/agencies, and ideating/scripting for future content and shoots," Ishita shares as she delves into the busy world of a lifestyle influencer. Her days are filled with brainstorming sessions and collaborations that allow her to craft content that resonates with her audience. As we settled in for our chat, we were eager to know more about Ishita's creative journey. "It's fascinating how life takes us on unexpected paths," she began. "In 2018, I started freelancing in social media and content roles, which eventually led me to work for a food blog. While creating videos for the blog, I rediscovered my passion for creative direction. That's when the idea of starting my own YouTube channel struck me like lightning!" Ishita's journey is a testament to the diverse backgrounds that lead one to digital content creation. "Despite my academic background – a postgraduate degree in financial economics and preparing full-time for the UPSC examinations – my heart has always been set on creative direction, filmmaking, editing, and digital media since my early school days," she revealed. Within three months of diving into full-time content creation on YouTube, Ishita gained a massive audience of over 100K subscribers. Her fashion, styling, and lifestyle content hit all the right notes with her viewers. Since then, she's been on a mission to create her own lane in the lifestyle and fashion digital content world. Her adventures have taken her across India and beyond, where she collaborates with brands she genuinely connects with. "I believe in unleashing the power of my visual language, creativity, and marketing to connect with audiences," Ishita shared passionately. "It's not just about my content; I want to give the brands I represent more visibility too." What sets Ishita's content apart is its relatability. Naturally, we were curious about her secret sauce for creating relatable content regularly. "Inspiration comes from everywhere," she said. "From recent travels to magazine archives, movies, and even my friends – they all contribute to my creative process. But the real magic lies in the women around me – my friends, family, and women in power. Their confidence and authenticity draw me in, and I strive to push the same energy into my online content." The most fulfilling part of being a creator, according to Ishita, is the heartfelt messages she receives from women who resonate with her posts. "When someone tells me that my content helped them find what works best for their body type or boosted their confidence in what they wear, it's truly heartwarming," she shared with a warm smile. Of course, with a hectic schedule, self-care becomes essential. Ishita's self-care rituals include her beloved cup of coffee and spending quality time with her furry friends. "My dogs are my stress-busters," she admitted. "But I also find joy in cycling, working out, and spending time with my friends – those little moments of bliss keep me balanced." In the realm of fashion, comfort is key for Ishita. "I've been all about comfort lately," she laughed. "Joggers or cargo pants paired with an oversized tee are my go-to fits. I believe you can look stylish without sacrificing comfort!" For aspiring creators looking to grow personally and professionally, Ishita has some golden advice. "Stay focused on your goals and treat every day like it's day one," she emphasised. "Collaborate with others, be open to feedback, and engage authentically with your audience. Stay curious and explore new creative avenues – that's the path to growth!" As our delightful conversation neared its end, we couldn't resist asking Ishita about her upcoming projects. "Exciting content pieces are in the works with brands and agencies," she revealed with a twinkle in her eye. "Keep your eyes peeled for more in the coming months!" Her journey teaches us the value of staying true to ourselves, finding inspiration in everyday moments, and embracing personal growth with open arms. Until next time, keep sipping your coffee and unleashing your creativity – just like Ishita!

By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma The Nykaa Cosmetics Edit: Decoding Top 5 Brightening Face Washes And Cleansers For Your Creative Canvas 4 November 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Let’s be real. In the world that runs on deadlines, mood boards, and endless travel—the world we live in—your skin is the first thing that tells the story. And darling, that story needs to be radiant, not ragged. We spend so much time perfecting the frame, the light, and the vibe , but none of it works if your canvas is tired, dull, or throwing a barrier tantrum. As a beauty influencer, I'm constantly testing. I need products that are efficient, impactful, and utterly dependable . My sink side isn't for decoration; it's a meticulously curated lab. The idea that a cleanser is just 'soap' is a myth we’re retiring immediately. Your cleanser is your first treatment—your skin's daily reset button. I’ve pulled the five formulas from Nykaa Cosmetics that truly belong in a professional kit. These heroes, packed with Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, and Rice Water , are the reason my skin still glows after a 48-hour flight or a week of heavy makeup. Consider this your cheat sheet for flawless, filter-free radiance. My Five Indispensable Cleanser Secrets I've categorized these based on the skin mood you’re currently battling. Choose the one that speaks to your skin's emergency. 1. When You Need To Look Instantly Expensive: The Exfoliation Heroes If you feel like your skin has a film over it—a layer of dullness that just won’t quit—it’s time for a controlled micro-resurface. These two deliver that fresh, smooth feel that makes foundation feel like silk. L'Oreal Paris Glycolic Bright Daily Foaming Face Cleanser (100ml) : This is what I reach for when I have zero time for dullness . It's potent. The Glycolic Acid gets straight to work, lifting that weary layer and giving you an instant shot of clarity. It truly makes the skin look brighter after just one use. It's the pre-event secret. High-impact, quick results. If your skin is resilient and needs a wake-up call, this is it. Minimalist 7% ALA & AHA Brightening Face Cleanser (100ml) : For the ingredient-obsessed among us, this is a masterclass in formulation. Pairing AHA (Glycolic Acid) with 7% ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) gives you deep texture refinement plus serious antioxidant power. It’s tackling roughness and protecting against environmental stress simultaneously. Smart, multi-tasking, and perfect for when your pores start looking a little too friendly with the camera lens. 2. When Breakouts and Shine Are the Enemy: The Balancing Act If your creative genius is accompanied by an oily T-zone and congested pores, you need a smart solution. You need balance, not stripping. Plum 2% Niacinamide Face Wash With Rice Water (100ml) : I adore Niacinamide . It’s the ultimate good-guy ingredient. The 2% concentration here is fantastic for regulating that annoying mid-day shine and subtly tightening up the appearance of pores. It's brilliant prevention. A gentle approach to oil control. The Rice Water ensures your face feels plump and hydrated, not tight and squeaky—a rookie mistake in oily skin care. 3. When Your Skin Is Throwing a Tantrum: The Recovery Crew If you're dealing with redness, irritation, or post-retinol sensitivity, the only goal is to cleanse gently and support the barrier. Treat your skin like the fragile, brilliant thing it is. Dot & Key Barrier Repair + Hydrating Gentle Face Wash (100ml) : This is my emergency reset button . It’s ultra-gentle, non-stripping, and formulated to respect the skin’s acid mantle. When my skin feels sensitized from a heavy peel or too much travel, I switch to this immediately. Calming, restorative, and essential for ensuring your expensive serums actually work, instead of trying to fix a damaged barrier first. Nykaa Naturals Rice Water & Glycolic Acid Face Wash (100ml) : I’m including this one again because it’s the best choice for daily maintenance . It proves you can have the clarifying benefits of Glycolic Acid without the drama, thanks to the incredibly soothing nature of Rice Water . It’s the cleanser I always recommend to friends who want to "dip their toe" into active ingredients. Consistent glow, zero irritation. The perfect balance of gentle and effective. Don't Be Loyal—Be Smart The biggest mistake I see people make is sticking to one cleanser. Don't be loyal, be smart. Your skin changes daily based on stress, diet, climate, and your routine. Keep a Glycolic one for brightness (L’Oreal or Minimalist). Keep a Barrier one for comfort (Dot & Key or Nykaa Naturals). Invest in these formulas. They are the scaffolding for every other beautiful product you use. When your canvas is clean, bright, and calm, your genius can finally shine through.

Going Green, One Stitch At A Time by Anushka Sharma Going Green, One Stitch At A Time 24 April 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Isha Nabar’s sense of fashion is eternal, because it is ethical. The very multi-talented fashion designer “Isha Nabar” uses a variety of hand stitched techniques on the hand woven fabric of khadi to do her bit for the betterment of the environment. Isha , an accomplished fashion designer of Indian origin, is based in New York and commenced with her multi-disciplinary learning at the Parsons School of Design, New York. Her niches of interest included fashion, business and jewellery design, the knowledge of which has actually given her quite an edge as a designer. Her much discussed initiative, ‘Charkhara’ (colloquially translated as wheel - 'Charkha' and green - 'Hara') is based on the design of a sustainable garment that is completely hand-stitched, through the usage of a hand spun fabric that is ‘Khadi’. This fabric, constituted of natural fibre, has played a significant role in the cultural, political, and socio-economic past of the country as many of us know. It was introduced by Mahatma Gandhi during the colonial rule in India, when he himself spun the yarn on the wheel to instil a sense of self-reliance amongst people. Khadi is since then spun on the ‘Charkha’ (the spinning wheel on which the yarn is hand spun.) The Charkha, with 24 spokes, which is also present on the Indian flag, is a symbolic representation of the hours of the day and the value of time. Taking this forward, Isha’s garment has 24 unique joinery techniques which beautifully acknowledge the efforts of those who spin the wheel painstakingly for 24 hours a day. The key intention behind this initiative is to avoid the use of machinery altogether in order to make a truly sustainable garment. She has therefore innovated these non-intrusive and hand crafted joinery systems of a wheel and a coin - a ‘paisa’ (equivalent to a penny) to construct the entire piece. One can spin the wheel to adjust the fit of the garment, while pulling closer the coin. The ‘paisa’ is meant to be a reminder of the minimal wages of the artisans. Isha explains “With this project, I hope to raise awareness on the khadi fabric, the negligible pay of the khadi artisans and the laborious process of hand spinning this fabric.” She wants to increase its perceived value and shift the mind-sets of the audience to more conscious consumption for a greener tomorrow. By using a hand woven fabric like khadi, along with specialised hand stitched techniques, she brings to the forefront the possibility of a process that is entirely sustainable in not only producing a garment but also in its end use. Her thoughtful and intentional design now lends the wearer the possibility of draping the exquisite Khadi fabric in multiple stunning and fashion-forward forms of outerwear. Isha’s design is disruptive, shows brilliance in its concept, is innovative and most importantly, has a deep emphasis towards responsible fashion. In a complex and evolving industry, ‘Charkhara’ is a conversation starter and clearly representative of her unique and novice design ideology, which is going beyond the mere aesthetics and functionality of fashion. It also explores the realm of sustainable material development and empowers the artisanal communities. Isha’s superlative skills, technical expertise and intelligence is well displayed in the complex joinery system which holds the fabric together. The final outcome was an outstanding, one-of-a-kind couture piece, born from the harmonising generational heritage with some unmistakably luxurious silhouettes, whilst carrying a profound message. This collection stays true to the roots of Khadi, thus retaining its rawness and presenting itself as an exhibit that is earthy and tonal. “The fabric itself is so well-worked, I wanted to let it shine and give it the stage it deserves” Isha tells us. There is nothing more captivating in fashion than the synergy of a sense of play and a purpose, which Isha has exuded graciously! She brings a point of view to the table that is rare to come by. Ironically maximizing a sense of purpose within a minimalistic framework, ‘Charkhara’ tells a story of rich artistry in a way that repositions the Khadi fabric with refinement and finesse. Isha is internationally recognized for her distinctive skills and ingenious design thinking, resulting in her bagging the AATCC Foundation Jasani Textile Scholarship and being a finalist for UK’s Creative Conscience Award. Isha has also worked with fashion houses like Tanya Taylor, Oscar de la Renta and Derek Lam in New York and Masaba and Vogue in India, giving her global exposure and fuelling her creativity as an artist. She is a new age designer to watch out for with her aesthetic sensibilities, critical thinking and views on a greener tomorrow. And she believes in getting there one stitch at a time!

In a Candid interview with Aparajita Jaiswal she relays how grateful she is to be a part of cinema and having lived in a country that is so beautifully united even though we have such diverse cultures and inhabit disparate worlds of thought. She talks about taking a flight from Delhi to Hyderabad and how that experience changed her life, opening her to a range of cultures and then eventually learning multiple languages including Tamil. “This journey has taught me everything that I am today and it has made me stronger. It has made me understand the power of cinema and how beautiful it is. I’m so grateful that I’m part of cinema. Also, I feel it’s beautiful how language changes the flavour of people. Every language has a different sense of humour and different ways of telling stories but one thing that unites cinema is that one ‘camera’ that we act for and that one ‘action and take’. It’s magic that happens and that’s what makes us alive. I am so grateful I’m part of the cinema.” Shriya Saran speaks about her experience working with Ajay Devgn, one of Bollywood’s gems and a legend. “With Ajay Devgan, I have worked in Drishyam 1, Drishyam 2 and RRR. Thankfully with Krishna’s blessings, they have all been very big hits. It was a pleasure working with someone as trained and as articulate as he is. He lights up the camera, he lights up the screen and he’s a very giving actor. He speaks with his eyes and expresses so beautifully with his eyes. He’s a wonderful actor. He gives a lot to the actor he works with too. It’s just amazing to work with him.” Today’s world and today’s cinema is perceivably about beauty and the visual arts. Shriya talks about going back to her pre-pregnancy shape, being a public figure. “It’s a visual medium and I’m an actor. Visually, everything has to be perfect when I’m on stage and when I’m in front of the camera. So, there is the stress of losing weight and today, we live in an Instagram world where everything has to be perfect. There are filters and what not. I feel like it’s about the pressure that you put on yourself today. Today, I’m very respectful of my body and I love what my body has done for me. I’m very grateful for it, I’m very grateful to Krishna for my body and for my health. I’m moving towards being healthy, doing a lot of yoga, dance and kathak. It’s more about competing with my own self and being a better version of myself than trying to look like somebody else.” Therapy for mental health issues amongst men and women in today's age and climate is a must and a rising issue. Shriya Saran comes forward to speak more about it. “I think that it is very interesting that mental health is being addressed, thanks to a lot of people. Somebody who really came forward and spoke a lot about it is Deepika Padukone and then Alia Bhatt’s own sister spoke about it. I was talking to Ishaan and his wife spoke a lot about it. So, a lot of people who talked about it were more honest about what they were feeling before it was supposed to be not cool to talk about it but now it’s more normalized and I’m very grateful to all the beautiful people who came out and spoke about mental health.” Shriya Saran also talks about women empowerment and how it should be about equality more than anything else. “I think women empowerment for me is all about getting equal rights for women and men and respect. Just giving us equal opportunities and actually stop asking questions like ‘How will you work now that you are with child?’ Or ‘How will you work now that you are married?’. Just creating a space which is very favourable and easy for women to work.” Women empowerment means strengthening women with all the rights of social, economic, and educational needs. It is to create an environment having no gender inequality for women. It is to empower them with equal rights in the family, society, community, and workplace. Everyone loves seeing Shriya and her relationship with Radha on her Instagram. She speaks very fondly of her as she says, “‘The mother’ has changed everything in me. Radha is everything to me. She’s my life, she’s my sunshine. I see her feet on the sand when she runs and when she touches water, her little fingers and she says these little little words: ‘Mama’, ‘Papa’. It’s just beautiful, every day’s a new day. I love her. She’s making me a better person. I love my work more now and I feel like today, I want to make her proud and everyday I’m at work, I’m on the set, I want to make her proud. I want her to watch my films one day and say ‘I love what you’ve done, Mama. I’m very proud of you.’" SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Shriniwas Kodape The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash 4 October 2025 COVER STORIES By Anurag Sen Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob 25 September 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree 22 August 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Off Script, On Truth: Anshumaan Pushkar In His Own Words 30 June 2025 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

Shadows & Silk: Bunny Nana’s Aw Romance In Bangkok By Ananya Patankar Shadows & Silk: Bunny Nana’s Aw Romance In Bangkok 9 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Crafting Bespoke Elegance: From Hong Kong to Thailand’s Runway Muted dove gray and structured elegance meet in this tailored overcoat, redefining winter wear with bridal precision and couture restraint: that’s how Bunny Nana took over the runway. Bunny Nana, hailing from Hong Kong, has long championed the art of made-to-measure elegance. Best known for its bespoke bridal and evening wear, the brand merges impeccable craftsmanship with a poetic sense of storytelling. Every gown, every seam, is designed to celebrate individuality—quietly luxurious, deeply personal, and effortlessly romantic. This season, stepping away from ornate tradition and into a more nuanced, textural world, Bunny Nana brought its signature grace to Thailand Fashion Week , unveiling an Autumn/Winter collection that whispered sophistication in every thread. Nana’s Autumn/Winter collection leaned into the language of fabric—where texture replaced embellishment, and movement spoke louder than metallics. Sumptuous silks, brushed satins, and fluid crepe took center stage, each selected for how it draped, caught light, or responded to motion. The palette stayed understated—ivory, dove grey, soft charcoal—allowing the quality of the textiles to command attention. There was a quiet luxury in the restraint: no sequins, no excess—just folds, flow, and finish. Whether it was a structured wool-blend coat with architectural shoulders or a silk gown that swept the floor like mist, every piece was a tactile experience. In a world often obsessed with embellishment, Bunny Nana’s choice to let fabric lead was both a design philosophy and a statement of confidence—showing that true romance can live in simplicity. This collection paid attention to making a statement, one which voices that silhouettes can stir emotions. The runway unfolded with opulent gowns that moved like whispered secrets—draped silk and crepe forming liquid lines that trailed behind the model like memory. Off-shoulder necklines revealed delicate collarbones, while subtle pleats added softness without overwhelming the structure. Contrasting this ethereality were moments of architectural clarity: tailored outerwear in sculpted wool, with clean shoulders and cinched waists that nodded to bridal corsetry without feeling constrained. Flowing capes, some sheer and others fully lined, created a cinematic sense of motion—part cloak, part veil. This interplay between form and fluidity, control and release, defined the collection’s romance. Each look felt personal, like a silhouette designed to echo its wearer’s energy. Whether worn for a winter ceremony or an evening affair, these shapes were less about trend and more about timeless emotional design. Each look was crafted to instill a feeling, stir emotions of romance, gracefulness and echo timelessness. This collection felt right at home within Bangkok’s refined fashion landscape—one that increasingly favors elegance with intention. The label’s commitment to craftsmanship and quiet beauty aligned effortlessly with the event’s broader celebration of Asian minimalism. In a sea of spectacle, Bunny Nana’s subdued grandeur stood out, not by demanding attention, but by rewarding it. Each look moved with purpose, echoing the cultural value placed on grace, poise, and personalization. The show felt less like a presentation and more like a procession of living portraits—each garment tailored not just in cut, but in spirit. In a region where storytelling is intrinsic to design, Bunny Nana’s narrative of bespoke romance resonated deeply, making it one of the most poetic highlights of the week. Bunny Nana’s Autumn/Winter collection wasn’t just a seasonal offering—it was a quiet revolution in how romance can be worn. With restraint as its canvas and craftsmanship as its voice, the brand delivered a story that lingered long after the final look. In a world chasing spectacle, Bunny Nana reminded us of the power in subtlety. Because sometimes, the softest silhouettes leave the strongest impression.

by Priti Sharma by Priti Sharma Life Changing Trips Everyone Should Experience At Least Once 15 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement A vacation is usually an excellent idea. It's never a terrible thing to switch up your surroundings and put work aside for a few days, no matter where you're going. However bizarre it may sound, becoming bored when on vacation is possible. I'll give you an illustration: You're not taking full benefit of travel if your yearly vacation involves going to the same little beach town every summer, where you stay in the same lodgings and dine at the same eateries. It's good to return to a location that seems familiar, but discovering new things is one of the most delicate parts of traveling. It's a chance to venture beyond your comfort zone and experience sights, sounds, and tastes that are unavailable to you at home. If you're ready to try something different the next time you go OOO, let us give you some ideas. We've put up a list of 11 amazing journeys that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. You can cross these off your bucket list when you go on your next journey. 1. Hike in a National Park One of the finest ways to see the natural beauty that can be found right here in the United States is to visit a national park. It's hardly surprising that tourists from all over the world flock to these locations given the abundance of animals, magnificent natural features, and unrivaled stargazing. Make it a point to visit at least one (but ideally many!) of the 63 national parks that are dispersed around the nation during your lifetime. The Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone, and Glacier are just a handful of the amazing places that should be on your bucket list. 2. Visit Paris Romance, creativity, fashion, and cuisine. Although Paris sells them throughout the year, the Salon du Chocolat is when they are highlighted. The top chocolatiers, confectioners, and cocoa specialists in the world celebrate unique flavors and innovations every fall. Paris is usually an excellent option because of its iconic architecture, world-class museums, and delectable cuisine, to name a few. It's a city that everyone must see at least once. Visit Paris for the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre; stay for the city's quaint sidewalk cafés, outdoor markets, and stunning parks. 3. Head to a Tropical Beach Nothing screams leisure like sprawling out on a beach with a fruity cocktail in your hand and the crystal blue sea out in front of you. A leisurely trip to the tropics can be exactly what you need if you're used to holidays that are jam-packed with activities. With places like Hawaii, Tahiti, the Maldives, or of countless Caribbean islands, you can't go wrong. 4. Experience an African Safari The experience of viewing lions, giraffes, and elephants in their natural habitats is incomparable to visiting a zoo. One of those once-in-a-lifetime events that you must actually experience is an African safari. You will experience incredible animals and scenery that you won't find anywhere else on the globe while being led by a local expert. Start your vacation in one of the top-rated safari locations, such as Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, or South Africa. 5. Take a Tour of Italy It is impossible to choose just one Italy location to check off your bucket list because of the country's diverse landscapes and rich history, including Rome, Tuscany, and the sparkling Almafi Coast. The greatest way to experience it is as a complete. Italy's train system, fortunately, makes it simple to travel the whole length of the nation. 6. See the Big Apple Nothing compares to New York City. It serves as the famous backdrop for several films and TV series and serves as a representation of a great deal of American culture. Of course, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge are all must-see features, but what will make you fall in love with New York is its different neighborhoods, indie eateries, and hidden-gem boutiques. 7. Spot the Northern Lights A little price to pay for some wind and snow is the chance to view the Northern Lights, which involves enduring Arctic conditions. The stunning light show may be seen in places like northern Canada, Alaska, Iceland, Finland, and Norway, despite the fact that the phenomenon is notoriously hard to spot. 8. Road Trip Across the Country Even though flying is frequently the more convenient choice, a road vacation includes travel as a component of the experience. It provides you the chance to eat quickly in quaint rural towns or take photographs at tacky roadside sights en route to your destination. Additionally, you never know when you'll find a fantastic location that wasn't on your schedule. Therefore, inflate your tires, pack the car, and don't forget to bring a tonne of goodies. 9. Visit One of the Seven World Wonders The seven wonders must be included on each traveler's bucket list. Any one of these wonders is certainly worth the trek across the globe; they are among the most amazing human-built buildings ever made. Choose from the Taj Mahal, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum, Chichén Itzá, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, and Chichén Itzá. 10. Explore Australia Australia is a place that is genuinely unique. It has famous landmarks like the Great Barrier Reef and the Sydney Opera House, as well as a broad range of animals that are unique to this continent (think kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies). Australia provides an experience for everyone, with everything from humming cities and sandy beaches to deep jungles and alpine summits. 11. Eat Your Way Through Southeast Asia Southeast Asia, which includes nations like Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, is unquestionably a culinary lover's dream. The area offers so many mouthwatering delicacies that it would be hard to sample them all, and it boasts some of the greatest street cuisines on the whole globe. In addition, the region is rather affordable for travel (and very well-liked among backpackers! ), making it possible to see several nations in one journey. What's next on your travel list? With so many places worth traveling to, it can be hard to narrow down your top spots to visit. Sometimes what draws us to a place are the well-known sights, delectable cuisine, and luxurious hotels, and other times it's the bragging rights that come with seeing every continent, nation, or state. Whatever your reason, we've compiled a list of 11 extraordinary journeys that include once-in-a-lifetime encounters and renowned sites that are unique to each location. What then qualifies a vacation as really transformative? One thing is certain, though: After reading this list of iconic road trips and African safaris, you'll be itching to start planning your next big journey.

The Audi A6: A Legacy Born From Rebellion And Refined Through Innovation By Aarti Singh The Audi A6: A Legacy Born From Rebellion And Refined Through Innovation 1 March 2025 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Few automobiles carry a legacy as rich, defiant, and enduring as the Audi A6 . To understand the A6's journey, one must first appreciate the bold origins of its predecessor, the Audi 100—a car born not from corporate planning but from quiet rebellion and sheer determination. It was this spirit that set the stage for one of the automotive world's most celebrated lineages! A Rebellious Beginning: The Birth Of The Audi 100 In the mid-1960s, Auto Union GmbH, the company behind the Audi brand, faced a stifling mandate. Volkswagenwerk AG, having taken control of Auto Union, prohibited the development of new models, relegating Audi to the mere production of existing designs. But Ludwig Kraus, then Technical Director of Auto Union, had other ideas. He envisioned a mid-range model—a car that would not only secure the future of the Audi brand but also redefine its identity. Against orders, Kraus and his team began developing the Audi 100 in secret. It was an act of defiance driven by foresight—a belief that Audi's survival depended on innovation. When the prototype was finally revealed, it impressed even the sceptics in Wolfsburg. Kraus's gamble paid off. Production of the Audi 100 commenced in 1968, and it wasn't long before the model became a resounding success. Demand quickly outstripped the capacity of the Ingolstadt plant, prompting production to expand to Neckarsulm in 1970. The numbers spoke for themselves: 800,000 units of the first-generation Audi 100 were sold, setting the stage for a model that would come to define Audi's philosophy of "Vorsprung durch Technik"—progress through technology. Golden Wheels And Global Acclaim Over its four generations, the Audi 100 didn't just sell—it triumphed! It claimed the prestigious Golden Steering Wheel five times, earned the title "Car of the Year" twice, and was crowned "World Car of the Year" by automotive journalists once. The success was not just in accolades but in sheer popularity, as 3.2 million Audi 100s found homes around the world. What made the Audi 100 extraordinary was its continuous innovation. From pioneering fully galvanized bodies that defied rust to flawless aerodynamic designs that enhanced both performance and efficiency, the model consistently pushed boundaries. Its highly efficient engines set new benchmarks, while the car's spaciousness and refinement redefined expectations for mid-range luxury sedans. The Evolution: From Audi 100 To Audi A6 By 1994, the torch passed to a new name—the Audi A6—but the spirit of innovation remained. Each generation of the A6 is built upon the legacy of its predecessor, introducing cutting-edge technologies, advanced safety features, and unparalleled comfort. From quattro all-wheel-drive systems to the integration of digital connectivity, the A6 became synonymous with progressive luxury. Today, the Audi A6 stands as a testament to nearly six decades of evolution. The exhibition at Neckarsulm celebrates this rich history, showcasing nine iconic variants of the Audi 100 alongside eight generations of the Audi A6. Among them, each car tells a unique story—the "first one" that defied corporate constraints, the "globetrotter" that conquered international markets, the "feat of spaciousness" that redefined comfort, and the "supreme one"—the 2024 Audi RS6 Avant GT. A New Chapter: The Ninth Generation As history has shown, Audi never rests on its laurels. On March 4, the world will witness the next chapter—the unveiling of the ninth-generation Audi A6 Avant. This new iteration promises to continue the legacy of technological leadership, luxurious refinement, and the daring spirit that first propelled Ludwig Kraus to defy expectations in the 1960s. From secret sketches in Ingolstadt to global acclaim, the journey of the Audi 100 and its successor, the Audi A6, is more than just an automotive success story—it's a testament to the power of vision, courage, and unwavering pursuit of excellence. The road ahead remains as promising as ever—and if history has taught us anything, it's that Audi will continue to lead it.
