- Glass Slippers And Glittery Masks!
Glass Slippers And Glittery Masks! by Aparajita Jaiswal Glass Slippers And Glittery Masks! 27 July 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Don’t get too comfortable girls! You never know when the other shoe falls off too. Well when Alfred Tennyson said, “‘It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all,” I strongly disagree. Sometimes the best charmers are the ones needed to be kept on lock down. Men would say anything to get the girl. Beware of the dogs! Be with a guy that ruins your lipstick not your mascara! Although, as challenging as atoning can be, the rewards make it worth the time, but most people find it difficult to admit that there was fault to begin with and find it easier to pretend it never happened or that it’s not going to be a bother at all. But the problem with hiding your sins is that they always come back to haunt you. All masks eventually have to come off and with them so do the gloves. We all wear different masks for different reasons. Some masks we put on because it’s truly who we want to be while some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden. Some we wear because we cannot bear to see what’s underneath or because it is what someone else wants us to be. But that’s the problem with wearing them is that they can be ripped off at any moment. Every journey is fraud with twists and turns. The ultimate challenge is to stay the course, move on from the past and forge your path into the future. Because one false move can spell disaster. #tisbettertohavelovedandlostthantoneverhavelovedatall #AlfredTennyson #MasksGirlUltimatechallengeAlfredTennysonsaid SEARCH Ankita Malik: Empowering Change And Embracing Authenticity LIFESTYLE Juggling Two Worlds: The Inspiring Journey Of Kritika Goel LIFESTYLE Juggling Law And Fashion: The Inspirational Journey Of Riddhi Nahata, A Multifaceted Influencer LIFESTYLE Nikita Pawar: From Fashion Design To Digital Stardom LIFESTYLE Join Shruti Yogi On Her Enchanting Journey From Kumkum Bhagya To Wanderlust Saga LIFESTYLE POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Shriniwas Kodape Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s Iconic Celebration Of December 14 December 2025 LIFESTYLE By Shriniwas Kodape The Spa At The Urban Wellness Centre: Four Seasons Bangkok’s Sanctuary Where The Body Forgets The Noise 4 September 2025 LIFESTYLE By Anurag Sen Porsche Unveils The Next Generation 911 Cup: Precision, Power, And Purpose For 2026 24 August 2025 LIFESTYLE By Anurag Sen Mercedes AMG Petronas Keep The Momentum Rolling After A Podium Scoring Hungarian GP 21 August 2025 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement
- Alexandra Victoria Bonte: From Olympic Dreams To Empowering Women Through Real Estate
Alexandra Victoria Bonte: From Olympic Dreams To Empowering Women Through Real Estate By Sakshi Batra Alexandra Victoria Bonte: From Olympic Dreams To Empowering Women Through Real Estate 7 January 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Alexandra Victoria Bonte , a former equestrian champion, turned her competitive spirit into entrepreneurial success at just 23. As co-founder of Bonte Filipidis Real Estate Agency and partner in the Golden Real Estate Investment Fund, she’s redefining luxury living in Portugal, Ibiza, and the French Riviera. Driven by her love for architecture and design, and guided by her motto, “Credere... Lottare... Vincere...” (Believe... Strive... Conquer...), Alexandra’s journey is a testament to passion and perseverance. From Olympic dreams to building a real estate empire, her story is one of resilience, empowerment, and visionary leadership. From Athlete To Entrepreneur To Influencer "My journey has been a rollercoaster of ambition and reinvention “she mentioned. “As an athlete training for the Olympics, I experienced the heartbreak of shattered dreams”. That moment pushed her to pivot and channel her energy into business. Real estate had caught her attention as a niche waiting to be tapped, prices were low, and she saw an upcoming boom driven by global experts. As her business grew, so did her passion for fashion. She adores the artistry of cities like Paris, Milan, London, and Los Angeles, where architecture and trends collide beautifully. “Dressing well is an extension of who you are - it’s a statement of confidence, much like her real estate agency, which celebrates strong, trendsetting women” she says. Championing Women Empowerment Empowering women is the cornerstone of her philosophy. Having grown up in Portugal, where she witnessed cultural chauvinism firsthand, lower salaries and fewer opportunities for women there she decided to challenge the narrative by building a team that primarily employs women, showing that women are just as capable as men. It was never about being a feminist for her but about achieving equality in the workforce. Unfortunately, “Gender disparities still exist in Portugal and beyond” she exclaimed. Rising Above The Challenges Talking about the challenges she mentioned that COVID-19 was a significant test for her. “While the real estate agency was gaining momentum, the pandemic hit, halting everything - marketing, property showings, even day-to-day operations. Our business collapsed, like many others”. But she believed “Adversity breeds creativity”. During that downtime, she leaned into social media, creating content that blended properties with a lifestyle narrative. It was a game-changer for her which not only helped her stay connected with clients but also redefined how they presented their brand. That period taught her the power of adaptability. Fashion That Defines Alexandra Bonte’s Style "I love mixing vintage pieces with modern trends—blazers are my ultimate staple”. Chanel’s timeless elegance is her favorite, and she admires the classic French style as much as the all-American Ralph Lauren look. She gravitates towards prêt-à-porter pieces that flatters her figure without being too revealing—classic yet understated. When it comes to colors, she doesn’t have strict preferences; she simply chooses the shades that complement her complexion and hair at that moment. “My style isn’t just about following trends but about incorporating timeless vintage elements into my wardrobe” she says. Her wardrobe focuses on quality over quantity – The pieces that endures time and trends. Inside Alexandra Bonte’s Signature Instagram Style Secrets "Well, I can’t reveal all my secrets! But I’ll say this - haircare plays a pivotal role”, she exclaimed with a smile. She invests in structured treatments to keep her hair healthy and vibrant. As for styling, it’s about balance and refinement. Her goal is to create looks that feel effortless yet put-together. Shaping The Future: Alexandra Bonte’s Exciting Upcoming Projects One of the projects that she is most passionate about is unfolding in Africa—a sustainable smart city in Nigeria. “This venture is not just about infrastructure; it’s about creating a future that empowers communities and champions women’s leadership” she mentioned. “At the heart of this project is a focus on women empowerment, sustainability, and holistic development. From schools and hospitals to offices, malls, and theatres, it’s designed to be a complete ecosystem that redefines modern living.” For her, this is more than just a career milestone—"It’s a meaningful contribution to Africa’s growth and a testament to the transformative power of women-led initiatives." Redefining Success, Empowering Women, And Shaping The Future Alexandra Victoria Bonte’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From Olympic dreams to building a luxury real estate empire, she has proven that resilience and passion can turn setbacks into triumphs. As a trailblazer in her field and a champion of women’s empowerment, Alexandra is rewriting the rules of success. With bold ventures like her sustainable smart city in Africa, she’s not just shaping skylines—she’s inspiring a new generation to dream big, break barriers, and lead with purpose.

- From Dull To Dreamy: How I Wake Up My Face Instantly With Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish & Stoned Rose Lipstick
By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma From Dull To Dreamy: How I Wake Up My Face Instantly With Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish & Stoned Rose Lipstick 4 December 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement In reality, it’s often 6 AM flights, back-to-back meetings, and very little sleep. Some mornings, I look in the mirror and "dull" is the only word that comes to mind. I don't have an hour to contour; I have five minutes to look alive. Over the years, I’ve tested hundreds of beauty products, and most end up in the "maybe" pile. However, there are two items—my absolute holy grails—that I literally hit pan on. They are the secret to how I fake a full eight hours of sleep and get that "rich girl skin" instantly. I used to avoid powder like the plague because I thought it emphasized my texture and made me look "cakey," but that changed the moment I met the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish 2 Medium . This isn't just makeup; it’s micro-fine magic that has earned a permanent place in my bathroom cabinet. The reason this product has gone viral is that it features soft-focus nanoparticles that blur away lines and imperfections like a real-life filter. When I press it into my T-zone, my pores simply disappear, yet unlike other powders that settle into fine lines, this formula contains Rose Wax and Almond Oil to hydrate while it sets. It is hands down the best setting powder for blurring pores I have ever found, leaving me with a finish that looks like skin, only better. Once my base is set, I’m usually rushing out the door, which brings me to my backseat taxi essential: the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Stoned Rose lipstick. Finding a creamy, hydrating lipstick that lasts all day but doesn't dry out your lips is a struggle, but this shade is the answer. While everyone talks about Pillow Talk , Stoned Rose is the unsung hero of the collection—the perfect everyday coral-rose lipstick that brings instant warmth and life to the complexion. It mimics the natural flush of a bitten lip, making my teeth look whiter and my face look brighter. The satin-soft formula allows me to apply it without a mirror in a moving car, proving it to be the ultimate low-maintenance, high-impact product for a busy lifestyle. In a world of fast trends, these two products are permanent fixtures in my bag. Whether I'm under harsh studio lights or dim dinner candles, the Airbrush Flawless Finish 2 Medium keeps me looking polished, and Stoned Rose lipstick keeps me looking feminine and fresh. They aren't just products; they are confidence in a compact. If you want to take your look from dull to dreamy in under 60 seconds, this is the investment you need to make.

- Adah Sharma, Sweetheart Since 1920
Adah Sharma, Sweetheart Since 1920 by Aparajita Jaiswal Adah Sharma, Sweetheart Since 1920 10 November 2021 Advertisement The first person that comes to our mind when we think of the words 'fun', 'spontaneous' and 'multifaceted talent' is Adah Sharma. We had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the outgoing and busy actor, who has many movies in various languages in her kitty. Adah exudes maior 'Girl-next door' energy in her latest interview with Aparajita Jaiswal as they discussed about completing a century in the industry, internet's sensation and beloved Radha Sharma, thoughts on fashion, OTT platforms and more. How and when exactly did you realize your passion for acting? What is the best part about being an actor? Throughout my schooling I truly enjoyed acting. I had taken part in theater and plays every now and then. I always wanted to experiment and try and be something else every other day. Whatever I was wanting to become, I was very serious about it. started practicing acrobatics because I wanted to join the circus, you won't believe me. I was so dedicated and serious about it. I graduated from a Kathak course because I wanted to become a dancer. When I wanted to become an actor, once again, I was very serious about it and if I put it quite plainly, all the skills I learnt along the way have come in handy in my acting career. I can only answer it based on my opinion, to me, it is absolutely the fact that I am allowed to be different people and personalities on-screen. Everybody adores the content you and Radha give us. What do you think of Radha's popularity Everyone adores Radha because she is the star-kid Radha Sharma. She is the first stuffed pillow to have her own Instagram. I am glad people are accepting and giving Radha the attention she deserves, however, it is not because of me. People admire her solely due to her talent and multiple expressions. (laughs) You have recently completed more than a decade since your entry in the industry. How has your experience been so far and how has the industry evolved so far? How would you describe your acting? I have actually completed a century in the industry! I have this hashtag that says #HundredYearsofAdahSharma because I started with the movie 1920 and we are currently in 2021.which makes it a hundred years. So it is safe to say I have been in the field longer than most veteran actors. I don't think I have aged for someone working since 1920 (laughs) it has to be the curious case of Adah. As for how I would describe my acting; I feel very fortunate to have bagged 1920 because I was able to prove that I can perform since our debut movie really makes a huge statement. Media and audience have been very kind and welcoming to me and so was my audience. I am very grateful for all the love and support people have given throughout these years, it really makes me feel very comfortable and more crazy I guess (haha). You have a very strong fashion game. Who would you consider as your style and fashion icon? For me, fashion is something that should be fun. When you start taking it too seriously it gets stressful and then there's no fun. Fashion is a part of my life and a part of me that I truly enjoy. If I am a part of a movie then I like sticking to the essence of the character based on how the character is written. On the other hand, I enjoy experimenting and trying out something | haven't done before in the case of fashion or magazine shoots. I also feel that what attracts my attention to someone else's style is when they have an inherent style of their own. One should be able to pick a style/hair style and make it their own, it would make it fun for themselves and make them look confident. I would say rather than strictly sticking to copying 'trends' one should have and play around with fashion. I would even say, don't be afraid of making mistakes, make mistakes in fashion because what might be a faux pas today might be in vogue tomorrow and vice versa. So you do you and have fun with fashion. Tell us about the toughest part of your work? And why do you think it is tough for you? The toughest part has to be, realizing that I am able to live my dream every single day. I enjoy every part of what I am doing, be it wearing amazing clothes or being a new character. Well, posing for selfies while savoring Bhel Puri….. life is tough! (haha, serious sarcasm intended). If anything you would be asked to change about your work, what would be that one thing? I consider myself at a very good phase in my career. I am being considered for really fun roles so right now I really do not wish to change anything. I am purely grateful for where I stand now. Now that OTT platforms are gaining traction among actors, what do you feel and do you see it as an opportunity to display your work? I have had an unremarkable OTT presence. I've previously been a part of a short-film Tinday, Moh which was released on OTT platforms. I played a bipolar character in Chuha Billi and a role in another OTT release entitled Holiday. I saw that my presence in Holiday drove more attention than most movies I have been a part of did. So, I make it a point to choose series, films or short stories that entertain, because when it is entertaining the medium of release doesn't matter because people would take efforts to watch it. So far as the content is good, people are hardly impacted by the medium. Whether they watch it on their phones or in multiplexes doesn't matter as long as they are enjoying the content. Once again, since I am very experimental and fun with work I want to try it all. Why does your Instagram Bio say "Actor/crow/Cow"? Yes, because when no one is watching I can turn into them. PS: but only when no one is watching. You made your singing debut in Tamil. How did you prepare yourself for singing, that too in an unfamiliar language? I have taken Piano and Carnatic music classes since a very young age So singing came pretty much easily and naturally. Though I enjoy singing and dancing. I really believe that acting is my first love. I would like to dance and sing as well. but WITH the acting. You have worked in different regional industries as well. How has that experience been? How different is it from working in mainstream Bollywood? If there's anything the pandemic has taught us, it is that if the content is good, everybody is going to watch it irrespective of the language and medium. From my experience. realized that it lies in the vision of the director as well. I have made a mark in the South Indian industry. My movies are also dubbed in Malayalam. I've been a part of Punjabi music videos. I see myself working in other regional movies as well. I am a part of an international action film which I am quite excited about. I am excited to try out all Indian languages and I would give foreign languages a chance as well. How do you prepare yourself for a role? What attracts you to a role now? It depends from role to role. Each role has its individual preparation needed. For instance, for my role in Commando, I was expected to speak Hindi with a Telugu tone to it, so I had an accent coach train me and for action movies I train accordingly. As for my South Indian movies, I like to read and reread and go well prepared to set since it is an unknown language. I like to read for my roles beforehand and go to set well prepared. It can be really stressful to receive lines on set. What attracts me to a role is something I haven't done before. What is next for you? Anything you can talk about? Any new movies in the talks? I have finished two Telugu films, one of which is a Girl action movie and the other movie is a sweet love story directed by Telugu actor Nani's sister Deepthi. It is produced by Nani as well. There is Commando 4 where I reprise my role as Bhavna Reddy once again. She is funnier and there's more action. I will also be seen in 'Aisa Waisa Pyaar' where I play the role opposite a dog named Happy. It is a lovestory between a dog and a cynical bitch. I really enjoyed playing it. There is Holiday 2 too. slated for release. There are few more in the works, but I am keeping fingers crossed for everything to work out. If you see yourself working with a celebrity, who would it be? I do not hold dreams because if I do that and it isn't fulfilled then I am bound to be re-born similar to Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om and become an actor once again and fulfill it in that incarnation. I just hope amazing filmmakers wake-up someday and say I wish Adah would sign our films. That's my dream! You recently played the role of a transgender person in "Pati, Patni aur Panga'. How challenging was it to you and what measures did you take to prepare for the role? 'Pati ,Patni aur Panga' is a very sweet love story and I hold it very dear to me. I was attracted to the role and the film because as human beings we tend to jump into conclusions and to make hasty judgements without knowing the entire story. So, it is a film that taught us not to be judgmental, which is a very earnest thought. Could we ever get a chance to see you working in Hollywood? Does that interest you? Like I mentioned earlier, one may never know. I am open with my options and wish to try and pursue acting in different roles and in different languages as long as the role, core, content and message of the film/series/short film are meaningful and something I haven't tried before. “JUST HOPE AMAZING FILMMAKERS WAKE-UP SOMEDAY AND SAY I WISH ADAH WOULD SIGN OUR FILMS.

- The Rise Of Korean Beauty Trends In India With Shruti Sharma
By Anushka Sharma By Anushka Sharma The Rise Of Korean Beauty Trends In India With Shruti Sharma 15 August 2024 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement In an engaging conversation, beauty influencer Shruti Sharma reveals her journey into the world of Korean beauty, sharing insights and experiences that have shaped her content creation path. With a vibrant social media presence, Shruti has become a go-to source for Korean beauty enthusiasts in India. Finding The Niche That Has Taken The World By A Storm Shruti’s passion for makeup began in childhood, but it was only a year ago that she discovered Korean beauty. She noticed a gap in the Indian market for Korean beauty content and decided to fill it. "I always wanted to do content creation but didn't know what niche to go for. When I saw the gap, I knew exactly what I wanted to do," she explains. The Differences Between Korean Beauty Vs Indian Beauty The difference between Korean and Indian beauty products is significant, according to Shruti . "Korean makeup packaging is very cute and girly, while Indian aesthetics are different. Lip tints and shades of pink are popular in Korea, whereas in India, matte lipsticks and nude colors are preferred," she notes. The popularity of cushion foundations in Korea also stands out, despite their limited shade range, which makes it hard for Indian users to find the perfect match. Collaborations And Inspirations Shruti’s collaborations with brands like Flower Knows and Amuse have further enhanced her content. These brands sent her their collections, which she showcases on her page. She is more inspired by K-beauty than K-pop, although she admires the makeup styles of idols like Won Young and Jennie. All About The Challenges And Aspirations Despite the popularity of Korean beauty products, accessibility remains an issue. Brands like Romand and Etude are available in India, but others require ordering through platforms like YesStyle, which involves customs fees and long delivery times. However, Shruti believes in the authenticity of YesStyle and continues to recommend it. Shruti's future plans include excelling in social media and venturing into modeling. "I've seen runway shows, and commercial modeling is also cool. Imagine if Flower Knows launches in India and I'm the brand ambassador—that would be so cool," she enthuses. Shruti Sharma’s dedication to Korean beauty and her ability to identify and fill gaps in the market have made her a significant figure in the Indian beauty industry. Her insights and experiences highlight the untapped potential for Korean beauty products in India, and her journey inspires others to explore and embrace new trends. As Korean beauty continues to gain popularity in India, influencers like Shruti Sharma play a crucial role in bridging the gap and introducing innovative products to a new audience. The future of beauty in India looks bright, with a blend of traditional preferences and modern, global influences.

From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story By Sakshi Batra From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story 28 December 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement What comes to mind when you think of a beauty pageant? Glamorous gowns? Perfect smiles? The Mrs. India pageant isn’t all that but so much more. It’s a stage where strength meets grace, intellect meets confidence, and individuality reigns supreme. Today, pageants like Mrs. India are reshaping the narrative, celebrating women who are unapologetically authentic. Meet Anuradha Garg - a dedicated professional, a loving partner, and now a proud Mrs. India contestant. Her journey as a contestant in Mrs. India is not just a tale of glitz and glamour but a story of perseverance, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to self-growth. Anuradha's story is one of grit, grace, and an unwavering belief in the limitless potential of women. The Support System Behind Her Success Deciding to be a part of Mrs. India was a bold move for her, but Anuradha had a rock-solid foundation of support. Her family and partner stood by her side every step of the way. They were extremely supportive and sure of me she reflects, encouragement from loved ones can be a driving force behind any achievement. Balancing Crowns And Commitments The hardest part of my journey? Balancing it all. Behind every dazzling sash lies a story of perseverance. For her, the toughest part of this journey was finding balance preparing for competition while managing work and family life was no small feat for her. Yet she managed to wear multiple hats with poise which is a testament to her determination and organizational skills. She learnt the art of resilience demonstrating that success lies in finding harmony amid chaos. Advice To Young Women: Fitness Beyond Appearances When asked about giving advice to younger women out there she emphasized prioritizing the fundamentals by staying fit to meet the demands of modern life. Focus on balanced nutrition, physical activity, mental well-being, and quality time with loved ones. True fitness isn’t about following trends; it’s about long-term health, self-care, and confidence. This holistic approach is a reminder that beauty begins with being kind to oneself and finding joy in a healthy and a balanced life. Confidence, authenticity, and kindness - these are the real beauty secrets. Shattering Beauty Pageant Stereotypes Gone are the days when beauty pageants were solely about physical appearances. According to her, today’s pageants celebrate women’s intellect, achievements, and individuality. The world of beauty has evolved beautifully she shares . Pageants now break traditional stereotypes, highlighting the essence of women beyond the surface. Her journey exemplifies this shift, as she stands as a role model for women who dare to embrace their multifaceted identities. It’s a celebration of modern Indian women who are smashing molds and rewriting the rules - CEOs, homemakers, artists, and dreamers all under one spotlight. Redefining Indian Womanhood The world often tries to put Indian women in a mold, but according to Anuradha’s experience with Mrs. India shattered these preconceived notions . Being part of Mrs. India changed my outlook she shares. I witnessed Indian women breaking barriers every day, embodying strength, intelligence, and versatility far beyond traditional expectations. The Glamour Vs. The Grind The glamour? Oh, it’s real. But so is the grind. Walking in heels for hours, keeping your poise during endless rehearsals, and managing nerves before stepping on stage - it’s no cakewalk. Honestly, there were days when she couldn’t wait to kick off her stilettos and slip into pajamas. But still cherishes the joy of the journey and the support of her family who made every blister worth it. Favorite Moments And Challenges Among the many rounds in the competition, her favorite was the icebreaker session. It was when we all met for the first time she fondly recalls. “Getting to know each other made the journey more friendly and enjoyable.”?

- Anaya Collection Unveils "Gaudí’s Reverie" At Dubai Fashion Week: A Fusion Of Love, Technique, And Playful Elegance
Anaya Collection Unveils "Gaudí’s Reverie" At Dubai Fashion Week: A Fusion Of Love, Technique, And Playful Elegance By Anushka Sharma Anaya Collection Unveils "Gaudí’s Reverie" At Dubai Fashion Week: A Fusion Of Love, Technique, And Playful Elegance 11 September 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Dubai Fashion Week 2024 witnessed a breathtaking intersection of art, architecture, and fashion with the debut of Anaya Collection’s latest couture line, "Gaudí's Reverie," for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. Opening Couture Day 3 of this prestigious event, Anaya captivated attendees with a stunning presentation inspired by the genius of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. The collection, titled “Gaudí's Reverie,” is a vivid homage to the artist’s philosophy of love, technique, and boundless creativity. Gaudí, celebrated for his fusion of organic forms with intricate artistry, has long been a source of fascination for creatives across disciplines. For Chathuri, the creative director of Anaya Collection, this admiration was deeply personal. “To do things right, first you need love, then technique,” a famous Gaudí quote, resonated powerfully with her when she visited the Sagrada Familia museum in Barcelona. This sentiment became the foundation of the collection, where love and precision merge to create garments that are as emotionally moving as they are technically flawless. Reflecting on Gaudí’s visionary approach to blending nature with art, "Gaudí's Reverie" draws inspiration from the architect's signature use of organic forms, vibrant mosaics, and dynamic color palettes. The collection's journey into the whimsical and sublime brings Gaudí’s ethos to life, offering an exquisite visual narrative woven with fabrics, textures, and colors that mimic the bold creativity of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces like Park Güell and Casa Batlló. Chathuri explained the profound impact of Gaudí’s work on the Anaya design process, emphasizing how his philosophy aligns with the brand's values. “Our designs are born out of love, but they are brought to life through technique,” she said. This seamless connection between the emotional and technical elements of design is evident in the craftsmanship behind each piece in the collection. A Celebration of Gaudí’s Artistic Vision The collection is a vibrant homage to Gaudí's artistic mastery, where every detail—down to the last bead—mirrors the architect’s celebrated style. Surfaces are adorned with intricate hand embroidery and beading, reminiscent of the colorful mosaics that define Gaudí’s works. Fabrics such as glass organza and double-weave satins are carefully manipulated to mimic nature-inspired motifs, a nod to Gaudí’s ability to draw beauty from the organic world. The craftsmanship extends to the use of hand-dyed ombré beaded tulles and fabric draping techniques that resemble the dynamic movement of Gaudí’s forms. Particularly striking is the incorporation of 3D draping, laser cutting, and ombré color dyeing, which pay tribute to the architectural layers and the unique interplay of light and shadow that Gaudí so masterfully achieved in his buildings. Each piece of the collection embodies the spirit of his work, combining joyful vibrancy with profound attention to detail. The vibrant color palette, ranging from earthy tones to bright hues, echoes the mosaic artistry of Park Güell and the sweeping forms of Casa Batlló. The collection’s silhouettes, which are fluid and dynamic, exude a sense of playful freedom—a quality that defines both Gaudí’s architecture and the ethos of Anaya Collection. These garments are not just fashion pieces; they are living, breathing artworks that invite the wearer to experience the world through Gaudí’s imaginative lens. Anaya’s Homage to the Childlike Wonder of Creation “Gaudí's Reverie” delves deep into the childlike wonder and unbounded creativity that defined much of Gaudí’s work. This theme of exploration, where imagination reigns supreme, is infused throughout the collection. The silhouettes, much like the undulating forms of Gaudí’s architecture, are fluid, joyful, and uninhibited. From whimsical, voluminous gowns to structured yet flowing pieces, each design encourages the modern-day power woman to embrace her own sense of wonder and creativity. The collection also celebrates the vibrant energy of contemporary femininity. Designed for the woman who is both playful and powerful, these garments are more than just beautiful; they represent freedom, strength, and individuality. “Gaudí's Reverie” reminds us that fashion, much like architecture, can be a medium for storytelling, where garments transcend the material to evoke emotional and sensory experiences. An Unforgettable Experience at Dubai Fashion Week The debut of "Gaudí's Reverie" marked a standout moment at Dubai Fashion Week. The collection not only showcased Chathuri’s deep admiration for Gaudí’s work but also highlighted the designer’s extraordinary ability to translate architectural brilliance into couture fashion. The Anaya Collection’s presentation left the audience mesmerized, with each look a testament to the marriage of love and technique that Gaudí so championed. Opening Couture Day 3 on the 3rd of September, 2024, at 6 PM, Anaya Collection created an unforgettable fusion of fashion and architecture. The show was a true celebration of artistry, creativity, and the timeless beauty of Gaudí’s legacy. As attendees witnessed the collection's unveiling, they were invited to step into a world where the boundaries between fashion, architecture, and art dissolved, allowing love, imagination, and technique to reign supreme.

- The City Beneath My Feet: A Night At Lebua State Tower, Bangkok
By Shrinivas Kodape By Shrinivas Kodape The City Beneath My Feet: A Night At Lebua State Tower, Bangkok 16 July 2025 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Bangkok doesn’t knock. It barges in. It sits on your chest, hot and loud, smelling of diesel, grilled meat, and somebody else’s sweat. And yet somehow, you miss it before you even leave. But Lebua — that’s something else entirely.Lebua doesn’t knock either. It pulls you in, wordlessly. Hands you a keycard. Presses a button. And in thirty seconds, you’re no longer in Bangkok. You’re above it. The room was oversized — almost rude in its generosity. A living room with couches I’d never sit on. A bathroom with mirrors that didn’t lie. A minibar that judged me a little. I tossed my bag somewhere near the corner and walked straight to the balcony — because that’s where the real welcome lives. From 64 floors up, Bangkok looks calm. Contained. Like the whole city has been shrink-wrapped for your viewing pleasure. The Chao Phraya River shimmered like it had secrets. Roads below pulsed like veins. And for a moment, it felt like everything I’d been running from couldn’t reach me up here. I lit a cigarette and leaned over the railing, the wind catching my collar like an old friend. And it hit me — not in some dramatic, Instagram-caption way. But quietly. That I was here. Really here . In a city that never cared whether you arrived or not. Lebua’s not pretending to be part of the city. It’s a floating kingdom. A palace for the curious, the hungry, the ones who land in new countries not for the monuments, but for the moments between. And up here, moments hit differently. I wandered upstairs. Not in search of anything — just chasing curiosity through elevators and glowing corridors. Lebua doesn’t just have restaurants. It has experiences disguised as meals . Bridges that feel like dreams. Cocktails with names you won’t remember, but flavors you’ll think about for weeks. I won’t spoil it — there’s another story for that. But let’s just say, I tasted something that reminded me of Saigon. And something else that made me forget where I was completely. Dinner? Not dinner. A ritual . And later, another bar. And another view. Bangkok still down there — snarling, laughing, eating, moving. Unbothered. I came back to the suite at some ungodly hour. Kicked off my shoes. Left the balcony doors open so I could sleep with the city noise filtered through altitude. Not silence. Just distance. I woke up with the sun hitting my face and the skyline whispering things I couldn’t translate. I made coffee in a robe too soft for someone like me, and watched boats slice through the river like time-lapse scars. It was just another Thursday. But also, not. Because for one night, I didn’t just stay in Bangkok. I hovered above it. Drank with it. Listened to it breathe. And let it remind me — without words — why we travel in the first place. Not to escape the noise. But to feel it all , and still find peace somewhere in between. Editor’s Note: Lebua’s food and beverage story — where sky meets plate and cocktails dare you to feel something — will be covered in full in our next issue. From cocktails at Sky Bar to suites perched in the Lebua Hotels experience, the journey floats far above the city’s chaos. This was just the beginning. No frills. No filters. Just the truth, served raw.

- Wine Tasting Is An Art
by Akash Khatri Wine Tasting Is An Art 7 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement “Wine gets better with age & I get better with wine” if this phrase sounds familiar then this article is for you. In case you are a wine-lover, I do not need to explain you the types of wine available out there and surely the concept of “wine tasting” is not new to you. But did you know about the 5 S’s of wine tasting? If yes, great! If not, then you must not leave this article as this article is going to talk exactly about it. Wine tasting is nothing less than an art and there are precise and well defined steps for the same. Let us jump directly to these 5 “S” of wine tasting: See: Well, I am sure you have been fascinated about the different colors of wine available in the market. So the very first step is all about seeing through the wine and this is a very important step while tasting wine. The color should be examined well while tasting wine and for this very reason most of the times the wine is served in a room which is having white background. The color will give you a clue about the variety of grapes used and the age of the wine. Experts suggest taking your wine in “stemmed wine glass”. Do not forget to tilt the glass against the white background to see the true color of the wine. Swirl: Taking the wine poured glasses and then slightly twisting it in the air definitely looks very fancy. But do you know why this step is so important? Because while swirling, the wine gets the required amount of oxygen to “open up, as in the aroma of the wine starts to hit your olfactory senses. This step helps wine to absorb oxygen and oxygen helps wine to break down and eventually softens which is a good thing! Sniff: Now that from your previous step you could unleash the aroma of the wine, it’s important to take a good note of the same. For that you need to sniff the wine and let the aroma sink in your nostrils to enable you to understand the sources of the fine wine that you are about to taste! Sip: Now that you have got yourself accustomed with the aroma, it’s important for you to take a good sip of the lovely wine from your stemmed wine glass. Take a good sip and whirl it around in your mouth for like 4-5 seconds before gulping it down. Try and understand if you can evaluate any distinct taste. Savor: This is kind of an after-taste experience. Once you have gulped down a few sips of the wine in question, try and examine for how long the taste stays in your mouth. Whether you experienced any particular dominating taste or it was well balanced. Experts say if the after-taste lingers over 20 minutes in your mouth then my friend you have experience an exceptionally good wine! Now that you know the steps well for tasting wine please go and grab yourself a place in one of the wine-tasting tours!

- The Curious Case Of The Body Shop
The Curious Case Of The Body Shop By Anushka Sharma The Curious Case Of The Body Shop 14 March 2024 LIFESTYLE Advertisement If you’re in the mood to grab some goodies from The Body Shop , now would be the right time to do so! The recent announcement of The Body Shop's closure of 75 stores across the UK has sent shockwaves through the retail industry. With 489 jobs on the line, the repercussions are significant, especially in the current economic climate. The decision to close these stores comes as part of an administration process, aimed at stabilizing the business and ensuring its long-term sustainability. Joint administrator Tony Wright emphasized the necessity of swift action to right-size The Body Shop's UK portfolio. While these measures may seem drastic, they are essential for the brand's future viability. Despite the closures, 116 stores will remain open in the UK, signaling a strategic restructuring rather than a complete withdrawal from the market. The administration firm FRP, overseeing the process, has outlined a plan that focuses on optimizing the brand's product offerings, strengthening online sales channels, and refining its wholesale strategy. This shift reflects a broader trend in the retail landscape, where traditional brick-and-mortar stores are adapting to meet evolving consumer preferences. The decision to close stores and cut head office jobs is not unique to The Body Shop. It reflects a broader trend in the retail industry, where companies are reevaluating their business models in response to changing market dynamics. By streamlining operations and focusing on core strengths, brands can position themselves for long-term success in a competitive marketplace. The Body Shop's challenges extend beyond the UK market. Recent reports indicate closures in other regions, including Germany, Belgium, and Ireland. These developments underscore the global nature of the retail industry and the need for brands to navigate complex regulatory environments and consumer preferences in multiple markets. In addition to store closures, The Body Shop is facing legal challenges, as evidenced by the recent ruling in the Netherlands. The court found the brand guilty of copying skincare products from competitor Rituals, ordering compensation for damages. This case highlights the importance of intellectual property rights and the consequences of infringing on competitors' trademarks. Despite these challenges, The Body Shop remains committed to its mission of promoting ethical and sustainable beauty products. The brand's legacy and reputation for social responsibility continue to resonate with consumers worldwide. As it navigates this period of transition, The Body Shop will undoubtedly leverage its strengths to emerge stronger and more resilient in the future. In conclusion, The Body Shop's decision to close stores and cut jobs reflects a strategic effort to streamline operations and ensure long-term viability. While these changes may be challenging, they are necessary for the brand to adapt to evolving market conditions and consumer preferences. By focusing on its core strengths and values, The Body Shop remains poised to thrive in the competitive retail landscape. No matter what, this is a sad situation for the ones who love the brand and its products!
