- At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus
At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus By Sakshi Shah At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus 9 February 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Day five at Dubai Fashion Week unfolded with a sense of assurance. The collections didn’t rely on spectacle or overt statements — instead, they leaned into clarity of design, strong construction, and clothes that revealed their impact through movement, detail, and intent. Across AI-assisted eveningwear, sculptural couture, and refined femininity, the focus remained on how garments were made and how they lived on the body. NŪRA by Tryano set the tone with a debut that felt thoughtful and composed. As one of the region’s first AI-assisted eveningwear brands, the role of technology remained subtle, supporting design decisions rather than dominating them. The collection centred on jewel-toned gowns in emerald, sapphire, and deep amethyst, paired with fluid silhouettes that moved effortlessly on the runway. One standout look featured a sharply contoured bodice flowing into soft knife pleats that opened with every step, giving the dress both structure and grace. Hybrid silhouettes blended traditional references with modern cuts, making the collection feel rooted yet current. Following this, Asjad by Shamma Majjan presented Motion of Majesty , a collection grounded in form and craftsmanship. Sculptural silhouettes defined the showcase, with controlled volume and architectural lines taking precedence over embellishment. A notable ivory gown featured pronounced shoulders balanced by delicate hand-embroidery along the torso, offering contrast without distraction. Rich fabrics and detailed finishes were used with restraint, allowing the construction to speak for itself. The collection reflected a modern expression of Middle Eastern luxury — confident, composed, and intentional. Strength and precision took centre stage with Krésha Bajaj ’s AW 26/27 collection Tempered . Known for her architectural approach, Bajaj explored the idea of resilience through structure and material. Leather, structured lace, and reinforced metal elements formed the foundation of the collection. A striking black leather cage dress stood out for its controlled framework and sharp lines, revealing strength through restraint rather than excess. Another key look paired architectural lace with sculpted tailoring, highlighting Bajaj’s mastery of construction. The colour palette remained muted — blacks, gunmetal, dark browns, aubergine, and wine — allowing texture, finish, and silhouette to drive the narrative. Closing the day, L’SCARLETT brought a softer yet equally assured energy with Reverie . Inspired by the poppy flower, the Vietnam-born label explored femininity through sculpted silhouettes and refined craftsmanship. One standout ensemble featured layered fabric detailing across the bodice, creating depth while maintaining structure. Delicate textures and hand-crafted elements defined the collection, but the silhouettes ensured the garments retained strength beneath their softness. The debut felt composed and confident, marking a clear step in the brand’s international journey. What tied the day together was not a single aesthetic, but a shared sense of purpose. Each designer approached fashion from a different place — technology, heritage, structure, emotion — yet all remained focused on design integrity. There was no need for exaggeration; the clothes carried their own weight. Day five of Dubai Fashion Week reinforced the idea that impactful fashion doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes, it’s found in precision tailoring, thoughtful material choices, and garments that know exactly what they are meant to say.

- How Soha Ali Balances Authenticity With Content Creation
How Soha Ali Balances Authenticity With Content Creation by Akshra Khandelwal How Soha Ali Balances Authenticity With Content Creation 1 September 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In the ever-evolving realm of social media, where trends rise and fall like fleeting waves, there emerges a dynamic influencer who navigates this digital landscape with grace and innovation. Soha Ali, a name synonymous with creativity and authenticity, graciously sat down for an exclusive interview, offering a glimpse into her journey, inspirations, and aspirations. "It's going pretty well, by God's grace," Soha beams, setting the tone for our conversation. She reflects on the recent trend that swept through social media, the "Barbie mania," a phenomenon that captured the virtual world's attention for a month. With a chuckle, she admits, "It was good fun while it lasted, but I'm relieved it's getting over now!" Beyond the ephemeral trends, Soha's career is on a steady ascent. Transitioning content creation from a passion to her full-time pursuit has opened doors to refine her art and connect with her audience on a deeper level. Rewinding the clock to 2020, Soha reminisces about the birth of her journey. "It was in 2020 when short-form video content on social media platforms was just taking off, with TikTok taking the lead," she shares. The platform's meteoric rise was marked by its subsequent ban, leading many content creators to pivot to Instagram. For Soha, this shift marked a pivotal moment. "I remember posting my first Reel in late 2020 just out of curiosity, which I like to call a happy accident. It blew up," she recounts, the spark of that accidental success still evident in her eyes. Since that serendipitous start, she's found her purpose in content creation—an avenue that offers community, creativity, and financial stability. Her content palette is as diverse as her influences, ranging from beauty and skincare to entertainment and lifestyle, all underscored by a strong focus on Indian fashion and aesthetics. "My phone is my workstation when it comes to planning my content," Soha reveals. "I note what other creators are doing, current trends, what my audience asks of me through comments and DMs, and other ideas I get while browsing through Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest." This meticulously crafted approach is a testament to her dedication to delivering quality content that resonates. Reflecting on her Evolution, Soha shares, "When I first started making content, it was primarily reactionary, heavily influenced by what others like me were doing and current trends." Yet, growth beckoned, and she embraced a more insightful and informative content style. "Over time, as I learned more about content creation, my present and potential audience, and what I would like to show people vs. what they want or need, it evolved to incorporate more helpful content like skincare, haircare, informed monologues about issues I felt were important, makeup tips, etc." Soha's Evolution extends to her tools and techniques. "It also became more professional since I just used my phone and a ring light when I started, but now I use more and more equipment and hire professionals for significant shoots." The journey from smartphone to studio symbolises her commitment to delivering polished, engaging content that captivates her audience. Amidst her trove of beauty insights, Soha imparts a gem of wisdom: "Apply makeup through your fingers and not a brush whenever possible. It makes it easier to spread, gives a more even finish, and helps you understand the correct amount." Her advice is grounded in practicality and self-care, evident in a creator who knows her craft's nuances. As someone frequently on the go, Soha reveals the essentials that find a place in her bag. "My trusted sunscreen, lipstick, mini perfume, a wooden comb, and some wet wipes," she lists, a minimalist kit that ensures she's well-prepared without compromising her signature style. In the realm of aspirations, Soha's eyes light up with a dream. "My dream collab (and please don't judge me for it!) is to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali," she confesses with an endearing laugh. Her admiration for the filmmaker's visual artistry and character-driven narratives is palpable. "I absolutely love his films and his style of creating vivid visual art," she shares, her voice carrying a tinge of excitement. Such an opportunity would be a fusion of her two loves—content creation and cinematic storytelling. Amidst her achievements, Soha humbly imparts a piece of wisdom for budding creators: "There's nothing more rewarding than a free conscience as a creator and knowing you're doing the best you can without compromising anything or being what you are not." Her advice echoes her journey, marked by authenticity, growth, and a commitment to her craft. As our conversation with Soha Ali draws to a close, it's evident that her path is one defined by resilience, creativity and an unwavering belief in her art. With each post and each interaction, she's crafting a digital legacy that speaks not just to trends but to the essence of self-expression. In a world characterised by rapid change, Soha stands as a beacon of authenticity, reminding us all that during the digital storm, it's the genuine voices that truly resonate.

- Behind The Brushes: How Diksha Sachdev Redefined The Art Of Makeup
Behind The Brushes: How Diksha Sachdev Redefined The Art Of Makeup By Akshra Khandelwal Behind The Brushes: How Diksha Sachdev Redefined The Art Of Makeup 31 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Diksha Sachdev has risen as a shining star in the world of beauty and makeup, where artistry meets inspiration. With her vibrant Instagram account and now venturing into the world of YouTube, she has captured the hearts of makeup enthusiasts across the globe. In an exclusive interview with our magazine, Diksha shares her journey, her inspirations, and her dreams for the future. "How's everything going?" I asked, to which she replied with contagious excitement, "Everything's going great. We're finally expanding our business and tapping into YouTube, and I couldn't be more thrilled." It was evident that Diksha's passion for makeup was a creative outlet and a potential career path she was enthusiastically embracing. Her journey began around three years ago when she got her hands on the iconic James Charles X Morphe eyeshadow palette. "I knew then that my first post had to use this eyeshadow palette. So I created a warm, colourful look using it. I was so nervous about the judgement, but I went with my gut, and luckily, it was very well received," Diksha shared with a smile. When asked about her makeup inspiration, she credited the likes of Malvika Sitlani, James Charles, and Nikkie Tutorials. "Through Malvika's content, I learnt to keep up with the Indian beauty industry; James Charles taught me how to step out of the box and create uniqueness; Nikkie taught me patience and precision." Her process of creating a new look is a testament to her dedication. "I have been passionate about makeup since college; since then, I kept trying different looks and products with the help of beauty gurus. After a few months, I decided to show my passion towards makeup to people on Instagram. This happened for the sole reason of showcasing my skills," she revealed. Lockdown allowed her to be more consistent and resilient, even in the face of minimal results. Her perseverance paid off when she joined a makeup school, took on clients, hosted online workshops, and proved to her parents that content creation could lead to a stable career. "Little did I know then that I could make a full-time career out of it. I've learnt, 'If there's a passion within you, the mind finds a way to work things out,'" she expressed with profound wisdom. As we delved into her daily makeup essentials, Diksha shared her must-haves: sunscreen, a concealer of her shade, a cream blush, loose powder, mascara, and lip gloss. And her current favourite product? "Wow, that's quite difficult. If I had to choose one, it'd be the Smashbox halo healthy glow one-tinted moisturiser," she revealed. For aspiring creators, Diksha's advice is empowering. "Be confident in your skill, do not be afraid of judgement, don't be shy to ask for help; I still ask for help/gain knowledge from fellow creators, be humble, do not get disheartened if your content doesn't work well. All you have to do is remind yourself why you started in the first place and up-skill yourself." Looking ahead, her goals for her Instagram account reflect her dedication to her audience. "I intend to create more content and upscale with time. I also love helping my audience with product recommendations and the issues they face in makeup and skincare," she shared. Diksha's journey from a makeup enthusiast to a thriving influencer reflects the power of passion, creativity, and perseverance. She continues to inspire and guide makeup enthusiasts worldwide through her captivating content. As we concluded the interview, I couldn't help but feel inspired by her story—a testament to the belief that following one's passion with determination can lead to fulfilling and successful ventures. Diksha Sachdev's success story is a reminder that authenticity and dedication stand out in the vast world of influencers and content creators. Her journey inspires aspiring makeup artists and content creators, showing them that with a touch of creativity and a sprinkle of confidence, they, too, can make a mark in the ever-evolving landscape of the beauty industry. So, remember Diksha's words of wisdom, whether you're an aspiring makeup artist or looking to delve into content creation. Find your passion, be true to yourself, and let your creativity shine. As Diksha Sachdev expands her horizons, we anticipate the magic she'll bring to our screens next. Until then, let's draw inspiration from her journey and embark on our own path to success.

- Neon, Smoke, And Chili Fire: A Night In Bangkok’s Chinatown
By Shriniwas Kodape TRAVEL Neon, Smoke, And Chili Fire: A Night In Bangkok’s Chinatown By Shriniwas Kodape 2 September 2025 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The night air was thick enough to drink. Heat, smoke, and the smell of a thousand woks clung to your skin like a cheap shirt after a bar fight. Yaowarat Road didn’t ease you in, it pulled you under. Neon dripped down the facades of old shophouses, the glow bouncing off chrome pots, wet pavement, and the eyes of a crab stacked high in a steel tray. A woman in a faded apron stirred a pot the size of a manhole cover, her hands moving like she’d been doing it since before you were born. No smile, no sales pitch, just the quiet rhythm of someone who knows the food will do the talking. And it did. Garlic, soy, ginger sharp enough to wake the dead. Scooters screamed past, brushing the backs of your knees. You took it as the city’s way of reminding you who’s in charge. A kid no older than fifteen shoved a skewer of grilled pork into your hand before you could say no. Charred edges, fat dripping down your wrist, sweet and salty in the way only this part of the world understands. You didn’t bother asking the price. You kept moving. You had to. The crowd here didn’t slow down for anyone, not the tourists with their cameras, not the drunks stumbling out of karaoke bars, not even the monks in saffron robes moving like orange ghosts through the chaos. Dim sum carts hissed like angry cats. Stacks of bamboo baskets opened to reveal shrimp dumplings so fresh they might still have memories of the sea. Down an alley lit by a single bulb, a man with cigarette burns on his forearm poured beer into chipped mugs, the foam spilling over onto the table. You drank it anyway. Chinatown at this hour wasn’t a place, it was a fever. A living, sweating thing that didn’t care who you were, only that you showed up hungry and ready to be swallowed whole. By the time you hit the far end of the street, your shirt stuck to your back, your pockets were lighter, and your mouth burned with the sweet cruelty of chili. You stood there a moment, watching the smoke curl into the neon, knowing you’d come back not because you needed to eat, but because the night here doesn’t let you walk away clean.

- Khushi Bhardwaj Is Growing Up On Screen, And Doing It Her Way
Khushi Bhardwaj Is Growing Up On Screen, And Doing It Her Way By Sakshi Shah Khushi Bhardwaj Is Growing Up On Screen, And Doing It Her Way 31 December 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement Khushi Bhardwaj comes across exactly as she is curious, grounded, and comfortable in her own space. It’s a quality that reflects in the roles she chooses and the way she’s growing up on screen. There’s no rush to appear older or pressure to perform confidence louder than necessary. Instead, Khushi represents a new generation of actors who are learning in real time and letting experience shape them naturally. Her entry into acting wasn’t something she planned years in advance. In 2019, she was selected for a project that unexpectedly shifted the course of her life. Soon after, she moved from Delhi to Mumbai and stepped into a world she was only beginning to understand. At just 11 years old, everything felt sudden, but she moved forward with steady support from her family, especially her mother, who continues to play a key role in guiding her decisions. Over the years, Khushi has built a growing body of work across OTT platforms and films, with projects like Tiku Weds Sheru , Criminal Justice , 36 Days , and Baby John . Each role added something different to her journey, from understanding emotional depth to adapting to physically demanding shoots, allowing her to evolve quietly and consistently. One of her most formative experiences came with Tiku Weds Sheru . Watching Nawazuddin Siddiqui work up close gave her a deeper understanding of how instinct and improvisation shape a performance. Seeing scenes change in the moment taught her that acting isn’t about being perfect, but about being present and responsive. That understanding became especially important while working on Criminal Justice , a role that challenged her emotionally. The night before its release was filled with nerves and uncertainty. She worried about whether her portrayal would be understood the way it was intended. The response that followed, however, was overwhelming. Audiences connected with her performance, and the appreciation she received helped her trust her instincts and grow more confident in her choices. With Baby John , Khushi experienced the scale of big-screen cinema for the first time. Shooting across locations, adjusting to long schedules, and working in physically challenging conditions gave her a new perspective on filmmaking. Although she didn’t share many scenes with Varun Dhawan , what stayed with her was his warmth and humility on set, reinforcing her belief that success and kindness can go hand in hand. When it comes to preparing for a role, Khushi prefers to keep things simple. She spends time reading the script, giving herself space to understand the character rather than forcing emotion. She believes in keeping performances natural and letting small moments speak for themselves. Off screen, her personal style follows a similar approach. She prefers comfort over anything flashy, choosing relaxed silhouettes and easy outfits that allow her to move freely. Her style feels effortless and unfussy, reflecting the same ease she brings to her work. Despite her growing presence on screen, Khushi remains focused on balance. Academics are still a priority, and she chooses her projects carefully to avoid taking on too much at once. She openly acknowledges moments of self-doubt, often looking to directors for reassurance. For her, those moments are part of learning and improving, not something to be afraid of. Looking ahead, Khushi is open to exploring different genres. Action roles excite her, especially those involving adventure and physical challenges. At the same time, she’s drawn to strong, layered characters that allow emotional depth. While OTT platforms feel like a space she currently enjoys working in, cinema continues to be an important part of her future. Khushi Bhardwaj isn’t in a hurry to arrive. She’s taking her time, growing with each role, and allowing her journey to unfold naturally. In an industry that often celebrates speed, that sense of patience might just be what sets her apart.

By evening I come back & then have dinner, edit a few videos & then sleep," she narrates, revealing a well-structured rhythm that fuels her creativity. Her journey as an influencer has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, packed with twists, turns, and leaps of faith. "My journey has definitely been a rollercoaster.

Among the gems in her crown of content creation are the mesmerising recreations that have captivated her audience's hearts.

- The Rise Of Nisha Ahuja: Balancing Passion And Profession
The Rise Of Nisha Ahuja: Balancing Passion And Profession By Anushka Sharma The Rise Of Nisha Ahuja: Balancing Passion And Profession 14 August 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In the ever-evolving landscape of content creation, Nisha Ahuja is emerging as a standout figure whose journey is as inspiring as it is remarkable. Combining a deep-rooted passion for fashion with a methodical approach to content creation, Nisha's ascent to prominence reflects both dedication and strategic foresight. Nisha’s journey began with a simple but profound love for fashion. "I always had a passion for fashion and creating content," she shares. Her venture into the world of content creation was spontaneous yet purposeful. "One day, I just started making Reels. The whole motive was just about my passion for fashion ," she reflects, highlighting the organic nature of her beginnings. A significant breakthrough came just a month into her content creation journey when she secured a contract with Myntra, a leading fashion e-commerce platform. "Myntra actually signed a contract with me for a year," Nisha recounts. This pivotal moment transformed her from an enthusiastic creator posting casually to a structured influencer with a well-planned content calendar. Despite the glamour of brand collaborations, Nisha remains grounded, attributing her success to her genuine enjoyment of the content creation process. "I really loved and enjoyed the process. That’s why I’m still continuing my 9 to 5 and content creation," she explains. Her ability to juggle a stable job with her creative pursuits is a testament to her dedication and exceptional time management skills. Nisha’s insights into the evolving dynamics of content creation offer valuable lessons for aspiring influencers . She sheds light on the barter deals that often characterize early stages in the industry. "They used to give me a voucher of 10k to shop and create content. It wasn’t money, but for fashion people, clothes were a big deal," she notes. However, as creators build their communities and prove their value, she emphasizes the importance of transitioning to fair compensation. "Once you’ve built a community and can provide brands with value, creators deserve to be paid. Nothing comes for free." Balancing a corporate career with content creation is no small feat, and Nisha's approach is both practical and inspiring. "If you have responsibilities and need stable income, a job is essential. But if you're passionate, you should explore content creation as a career option," she advises. Her ability to excel in both realms underscores her organizational prowess and passion for her work. The content creation industry is rife with opportunities, and Nisha is optimistic about its future. She encourages greater inclusivity, noting, "There are a lot of opportunities for everyone," and urges more men to explore this field. Yet, she also cautions against the pitfalls of relying solely on barter collaborations, advocating for a shift towards paid engagements as creators gain experience. Nisha's success is highlighted by a viral reel that amassed 16 million views, a testament to her relatable and engaging content. "It’s a lovely feeling, but it attracts a lot of attention, not all of it positive. Still, the recognition from brands is invaluable," she reflects, demonstrating her resilience amidst the challenges of fame. In addition to fashion, Nisha delves into lifestyle and food content, showcasing her versatility and creative spirit. Her talent for transforming thrifted pieces into fashionable outfits resonates with her audience, reflecting her ability to push creative boundaries. Inspired by creators like Komal Pandey, Nisha continues to experiment and innovate within the fashion space. To combat creative burnout, Nisha advocates for regular breaks and reconnecting with nature. "Timely breaks are important. I do yoga and listen to Sadhguru’s videos to recharge myself," she shares. Her approach to maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial in the fast-paced world of social media. As Nisha navigates her engagement and family responsibilities, she appreciates the multifaceted role of managing both personal and professional aspects of life. "It's a task, but I really appreciate girls who are managing families and content creation. It's like your own little business, and you're working 24x7," she says, acknowledging the dedication required to balance these roles. Looking forward, Nisha envisions a future filled with opportunities and accolades. "I want to be seen and appreciated for my content. I see myself working with big brands and designers, doing fashion shows, and receiving awards," she concludes, underscoring her entrepreneurial spirit and relentless drive. Nisha Ahuja’s journey exemplifies how passion, hard work, and resilience can lead to extraordinary success. As the content creation industry continues to evolve, her story serves as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with dedication and a clear vision.

- Male Fashion and Masculinity
Male Fashion and Masculinity by Priti Sharma Male Fashion and Masculinity 8 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement “Fashion is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”- Orson Welles. A flower of creativity has blossomed in men’s fashion in recent years, igniting the menswear renaissance and refashioning archaic historical ideas of what it means to be masculine or feminine. In particular, feminine and masculine have been shaped and constrained by the gendered expectations of fashion: skirts and dresses are girly, whereas suits are for men; heels are for women, and sports or athletic gear is more masculine. This debate over who should wear what has persisted throughout history. Because of these harmful ideas about what it means to be a man, men are expected to dress nicely to be considered "truly masculine," or else they become weak, frail, feminine, or gay. But none of these terms—"feminine," "gay," "soft," or "fragile"—should ever be used as a derogatory epithet. “The ‘manly men’ are those who have the strength and courage to dress in whatever they are confident and comfortable with and most importantly of their preference.” For many centuries, the way men dressed was regulated—with strict guidelines—in terms of their position in the social hierarchy. Fashion has long been political and associated with power. Men in the seventeenth century were demonstrating traits of power when they appeared in flamboyant velvet and lace ensembles, caps decorated with ostrich feathers, and red-heeled shoes. The French Revolution ushered in significant change as well as the beginnings of more gender-neutral male attire. Male fashion these days follows different channels of transformation. The regular grooming of males is increasingly including makeup. The goal of skincare for men does not include making them seem attractive. In Western consumer shops, the moisturizer was formerly prohibited, but today it's ubiquitous, according to Gough. Along with other roles traditionally held by women, such as parenting and cooking, "makeup is one of the last bastions of femininity that males are creeping onto." Is the future of masculinity being defined by current trends in fashion? Probably, yes. Billy Porter's performance as "a living piece of political art" as he walked the Oscars red carpet in a tuxedo ball gown is evidence of the changes that have taken place, but when might those Hollywood fantasies come true for the average person? While certain Dusty Springfield-inspired miniskirts (from Charles Jeffrey) are regarded a tad "full-on," leopard print, neon, and "mirts"—men's skirts—are highlighted in British GQ's chart of menswear trends for Autumn/Winter 2019. Harry Styles utilizes the language of fashion to debunk common notions about what it means to be a man. Styles has now been able to modify the stereotypical image of conventional masculinity that the media marketed during his One Direction days as an ultra-male womanizer by changing his appearance. He cheerfully explains that he cherishes being in touch with his femininity as he openly flaunts nail paint, glittery suits, tutus, tiaras, and gowns today. No less of a man is Styles as a result of this. However, the boundaries imposed by toxic masculinity are starting to dissolve as menswear possibilities finally move away from this constricting gendered split. In December 2020, Styles became the first guy to appear alone on the cover of Vogue while proudly wearing a dress. Many people appreciated his cover, but it also sparked debate. In response, conservative writer Candace Owens tweeted, "There is no civilization that can thrive without strong males... Bring back the strong guys”. When he shared another image of himself posing for his Variety cover shot in a baby blue pleated suit with white ruffles and a V-neck cut, Styles deftly flipped her statements on their head by explicitly repeating them. His article exposes the toxic masculinity that permeates our culture and demonstrates the fact that a guy may define what it means to be "manly" for himself. Whether he is wearing a dress or not, he is still just as much of a man. Contrasted sharply with 19th-century fashion, which grew much more gender-specific, is this opulently masculine style. Men who wore skirts stopped wearing them once trousers became the norm. The "gentleman" was developed, and the suit developed into the pinnacle of masculine style, signifying male virility, power, and professionalism. In the modern office, menswear nearly always centers on the suit, which is often simple and dark in color. The tie, another not-so-subtle emblem of manhood, completes the look. However, the boundaries imposed by toxic masculinity are starting to dissolve as menswear possibilities finally move away from this constricting gendered split. While the western world is comfortable with women wearing trousers and male attire but a slight change in male fashion and beauty standards questions their masculinity. Because of cultural changes, there is no longer a harmful clothing code for being a guy. Even Daniel Craig attended the most recent James Bond premiere in a pink velvet suit. Daniel Craig's ability to dazzle the red carpet in a vision of pink illustrates just how much the idea of "manliness" has altered. As Harry Styles has demonstrated, being a man today can mean anything one wants it to mean. The'manly guys' are those who have the guts and strength to dress whatever they like. #MaleFashion #Masculinity #Feminine #Manly #Gender #GenderSpecific #BillyPorter #HarryStyles #Masculine #DanielCraig #Skincare #MakeUp SEARCH Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows FASHION From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION Legendary Female Icons Who Made Fashion Statements In The 20th Century FASHION The House of Chanel: History FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Elie Saab H&M Is Bringing The Red Carpet Home 13 September 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah The Art Of Resort Dressing, According To Hanne Bloch 30 July 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah The New Foundations Of Style, According To Invogue 27 June 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah What's The Colour Of My Voice: Inside The Wonderfully Strange World Of Absent Findings' SS27 23 June 2026 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement
