  • Shadows & Silk: Bunny Nana’s Aw Romance In Bangkok

    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.

  • Veganism On The Rise: What You Need To Know

    Veganism On The Rise: What You Need To Know LIFESTYLE Veganism On The Rise: What You Need To Know by Rupashree Ravi 3 August 2022 Advertisement Veganism has been a growing movement in many countries for a long time now. As it is slowly entering the mainstream ways of living and becoming more common, research on vegan diets and lifestyles is being done to know more about their benefits as well as their risks. Today, an increasing number of families and teens are turning vegan due to health, animal welfare, and environmental reasons. But whatever the reason may be, it is important to take a look at your physical requirements and personal beliefs before you begin. “Being vegan can mean different choices for different people. For some, it is a strict dietary choice while for others it is a compassionate lifestyle.” Traditional Indian dishes are usually vegan; meat and dairy-free Made up of only plant-based products, a vegan diet avoids everything animal food-related, including products and by-products like meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. They are low in saturated fats and rich in nutrients. Its health benefits include stabilizing weight, enhancing the heart, reducing the risk of diabetes, and defending against cancer. If planned well, a vegan diet can provide a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and protein as well. On the other hand, those who incorporate a strict vegan lifestyle do not use any kind of animal product in any form, be it fabric or fashion. They eliminate using or wearing silk, wool, leather, fur, and even soaps or cosmetics made out of animal products. People who are mindful of a sustainable environment usually follow this kind of lifestyle. When it comes to veganism, people follow it to different extents. A number of vegans go for the healthiest alternatives in their diet. In a typical Indian household, dairy products like ghee, paneer, yogurt, etc. which are high in calcium, are consumed on a regular basis. To switch them to vegan alternatives, one can go for non-dairy products like tofu, chickpeas, broccoli, and lentils, which are plant sources of calcium. Lentils are also a great source of vegan protein. Some studies suggest that vegans have the lowest intake of calcium. To tackle this, many alterna-milks like soy milk and almond milk, which are fortified with calcium and vitamin D can be consumed. Moreover, adding plenty of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and seeds to your diet will provide important vitamins and minerals. Plant-based milks and a plethora of fruits and veggies that are high in protein, calcium, and fibre are consumed There is also a thin line between veganism and vegetarianism. Veganism is seen as a stricter form of vegetarianism and more of a lifestyle movement than a dietary one. It’s important to know that while a vegan diet is healthy overall, with benefits like lowering cholesterol and blood pressure among many, it comes with the risks of short-changing you on a few nutrients like Vitamin B12, which is found only in animal products. You may need a supplement to make up for what you don't get from your diet. You can start slow by following trends like Veganuary, where you can go vegan for a month. Or go vegetarian and then slowly move on to a vegan diet. Look up healthier alternatives to meat and dairy and follow a balanced diet. If you are morally passionate about the environment and animal welfare, live a vegan lifestyle by shopping for vegan clothing retailers. You can be a part of the movement in small, but significant ways. In the end, make your call towards an alternative way of living. #Veganism #Vegan #HealthyLifestyle #VeganDiet #Fitness 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 Sakshi Shah Bonobo And Arooj Aftab's Fire On The Water Is The Kind Of Collaboration You Can't Plan 5 August 2026 LIFESTYLE By Sakshi Shah Tsumyoki Is Building A World Of His Own 30 July 2026 LIFESTYLE By Sakshi Shah Ankur Tewari And The Sound Of A Changing India 23 July 2026 LIFESTYLE By Sakshi Shah The Father's Day Edit: Gifts Worth Giving 21 June 2026 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

For something more relaxed, Wit Uno Belgian-Style Cream Ale brings citrusy and herbal notes to the occasion, offering an easy-going way to raise a toast to fathers, father figures, and shared memories. Father's Day rarely requires grand gestures. More often, it's about recognising the quiet consistency, encouragement, humour, and wisdom that shape our lives in countless ways. Whether it's a watch that marks new milestones, a shirt he'll reach for every weekend, a grooming ritual he'll enjoy each morning, or a drink shared at the end of the day, the most memorable gifts are often the ones that become part of everyday life—just like Dad himself.

  • Single parenthood and family

    SOCIETY by Akash Khatri Single parenthood and family 1 December 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Slowly generalising concept yet feels like a terror to me . I’m not writing it hypothetically rather have seen this. Families emerged from single Parenthood on a positive aspect know struggle and manage to include themselves in the hardy layer of the society whereas on a negative aspect they can just be as jeopardized as possible. Single parenthood if not self chosen could be a disaster for the parent itself ,juggling between kids, work, household and what not as if you’ve to do single handed plank when your core isn’t used to it. However, I fear for self chosen single parenting because the shrinkage from joint families to single parent families are somewhere responsible in the upbringing and personality development of a child as well. How are they supposed to learn actions oriented moral ethics and values if they are not getting various people to observe in their house. In a nutshell,the pursuit of single parenthood must be a big no ,no matter how much it’s covered or layered with positive attributes, it’s hard for both the child and the parent and we as humans don’t opt for harder things by nature, do we ? #family #singleparent #singleparenthood #society SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

  • Rediscovering The Preciousness Of Couture With Rizman Ruzaini's "Mustika" Collection

    Rediscovering The Preciousness Of Couture With Rizman Ruzaini's "Mustika" Collection By Anushka Sharma Rediscovering The Preciousness Of Couture With Rizman Ruzaini's "Mustika" Collection 5 September 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In the ever-changing, evolving and dynamic world of fashion, where trends change as swiftly as the seasons, some collections transcend the ephemeral, grounding us in a sense of history and identity. Rizman Ruzaini 's Spring/Summer 2025 collection in Dubai Fashion Week , aptly named "Mustika," is one such offering—a rich narrative of nostalgia, cultural homage, and meticulous craftsmanship that takes us on a journey through time. Treading A Journey into "Mustika” The name "Mustika" is inspired by the character in the 1999 Malaysian film “Perempuan Melayu Terakhir” (“The Last Malay Woman”), directed by Erma Fatima. This cinematic gem explores the tension between preserving cultural heritage and embracing modernity, a theme that resonates deeply with the collection. In Malay, "mestika" refers to a precious stone or something deeply cherished—a fitting metaphor for the exquisite pieces that Rizman Ruzaini has crafted. Brimming Of Nostalgia in Every Stitch The creative spark for this collection was ignited by a serendipitous moment: Ruzaini Jamil, Creative Director of Rizman Ruzaini, rediscovered an old photograph of his late grandmother, Tok Puteh Surin. The image, which captured Tok Puteh and her friends in the 1950s, dressed in elegant kebaya and batik sarongs, evoked a sense of timeless grace. This photograph not only transported Ruzaini back to a pre-independence era but also inspired him to bring that era's style to life in the SS25 collection. The kebaya, a traditional blouse-dress combination worn by women in the Nusantara region, takes center stage in this collection. It’s a garment steeped in history, with roots that date back centuries. Rizman Ruzaini has reimagined the kebaya with a modern twist, yet each piece retains the essence of its rich heritage. A Cinematic Tribute to Some of the Iconic Films: Ruzaini’s inspiration didn’t stop at family memories; it extended to the silver screen. Iconic films like “Penarek Becha” (1955) and “Rachun Dunia” (1950) showcase the kebaya in all its cinematic glory, immortalized by beloved Malay actors such as P. Ramlee, Saadiah, and Kasma Booty. These classic films, which hold a special place in the hearts of many Malaysians, served as a muse for the collection. The result is a line of garments that echo the elegance of these filmic masterpieces while offering a fresh perspective on a traditional staple. The Art of Embroidery In a nod to the evolution of the kebaya, the collection highlights the intricate embroidery that became a hallmark of the garment in the 1940s. Malay and Jawi Peranakan communities favored plant motifs, while Chinese Peranakan kebayas often featured animal designs—a reflection of their cultural symbolism. Rizman Ruzaini’s SS25 collection honors these traditions while introducing contemporary touches, including tambour beading and machine embroidery, which elevate the batik sarongs and kebayas to new heights of sophistication. A Wondrous Celebration of Batik No exploration of Southeast Asian fashion would be complete without batik, and Rizman Ruzaini’s collection gives it the spotlight it deserves. Batik, a time-honored textile art form, is celebrated throughout the Nusantara region and has been embraced by generations of artisans and fashion lovers alike. The SS25 collection integrates batik sarong motifs into its designs, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation. The brand’s use of batik in tandem with contemporary embroidery techniques underscores its commitment to honoring heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern fashion. Who’s the brains behind the business? It’s Rizman Ruzaini! Since its founding in 2005, Rizman Ruzaini has grown from a small startup into a major player in Malaysia's fashion industry. Led by designers Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil, the brand has built a reputation for its signature silhouettes, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. Today, Rizman Ruzaini is poised to take its place on the global stage, with plans to expand into the Middle East and Europe. At the same time, the brand is embracing sustainability, ensuring that its future growth is as responsible as it is stylish. With the "Mustika" collection, Rizman Ruzaini invites us to reflect on the beauty of our shared cultural heritage. Through each piece, we are reminded that fashion is not just about the present moment; it’s a conversation between the past and the future, a celebration of where we come from and where we are going. The collection is a timeless tribute to the elegance of the kebaya and the enduring allure of batik—a sartorial masterpiece that bridges generations and unites us in our shared love for the beauty of tradition.

  • WORLD PEACE DOME

    by Akash Khatri TRAVEL WORLD PEACE DOME by Akash Khatri 1 November 2020 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement World peace dome stands tall at 263 feet with a diameter of 160 feet. The height of the dome is 96 feet, whereas total height from ground to apex is 263 feet. The sitting area inside is spread over to 20,000 sq. feet and total seating capacity is 3000. This is one of the important architectural wonder which was completed in the year 2018 and was accomplished through 15 years of perseverance and dedication of thousands of people. This epitome of wonder is located in Maharashtra, India and is dedicated for ‘World Peace and Humanity’ regardless of the fact that India ranks 141 in GPI (Global Peace Index); ranks 133 in peace and security index ,one of the least safe countries for women and has many disputes related to religion, castes going on from years mainly rooting from politics that we often come across regularly. It often leaves me wondering, have the virtual and showcasing world really overpowered us so well and establishing its roots among us so powerfully that we actually believe that buildings and statues representing peace, humanity and unity can make this place or this world better for us? Do we actually believe that burying and not talking about the flaws can disparage them in long terms? This world peace dome left me bamboozled and thinking if it represents the modern world where only fake ways of life is sold rather than just peace and humanity. Metaphorically speaking, if this world peace dome or several structures built like this or are in disputes to be built in future can actually establish a system where the ways of real upbringings, real meaning of life can be shown, where it is explained enough to soak in through the bones that life is more than just ‘representing’ or sugar coating ‘ugly truths’ but these representatives are quoting opposite lessons. Nothing can be a representative of anything if the mirror of that particular place it is built in, is saying something else. Granted it can attract tourism and thus can help in boosting Indian economy in one way or the other but outsiders are really attracted to the Indian culture they found some kind of treasury in, which we are continuously letting to slip away from us! Disguise cannot be put forth longer and the practical perks could exhaust soon if we continue to hide under the films of silver linings.

  • Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing

    Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing By Sakshi Shah Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing 6 May 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement There is a quiet confidence to Absent Findings , the kind that does not need to announce itself to be noticed. It feels considered, steady, and already sure of its voice. Rather than rushing to define itself, the brand moves with intention, allowing its identity to unfold naturally. Founded by Shivin Singh and shaped between Milan and Dubai, Absent Findings draws from memory, material, and lived experience in a way that feels instinctive. The references are personal, but never overwhelming. There is a sense of ease in how everything comes together, as though each piece belongs exactly where it is. The latest collection, Not What You Think , continues this direction with clarity. Silhouettes are elongated and architectural, yet they remain fluid in movement. Tailoring plays a central role, particularly through pinstripes, but it never feels rigid. Softer drapes balance the structure, creating a rhythm that moves between precision and ease. The palette stays grounded, built on deep tones and structured neutrals that let the forms speak for themselves. While surrealist influences sit in the background, they are not expressed in obvious ways. Instead, they appear through subtle shifts in proportion and a slight distortion of familiar shapes. Each look feels composed, but never predictable. The strength of the collection lies in its contrasts. Structured outerwear holds its form with clarity, while more fluid pieces echo the language of traditional draping. There are quiet references to garments like the sari, not through direct replication, but through movement and construction. An airy, ruffled bodysuit introduces lightness, offering a soft counterpoint to the sharper elements. Alongside these looks, the Top Handle Small Gallery Bag stands out with a refined presence, clean in its construction and consistent with the brand’s overall sensibility. Material plays an important role in shaping this identity. Absent Findings works with vintage saris and deadstock fabrics, reimagining them into contemporary pieces that carry a sense of continuity. It does not feel like a statement or a strategy, but rather an instinctive way of working, where existing materials are given a new life without losing their history. Behind the brand is a team that brings together different perspectives while maintaining a clear direction. Shivin Singh’s background at Polimoda and his experience within luxury accessories are evident in the attention to detail and construction. At the same time, the wider team contributes to a strong visual and strategic foundation, ensuring that the brand evolves without losing its focus. This evolution has been steady, moving across different spaces with a sense of purpose. Early presentations at BRED Abu Dhabi and SOLE DXB established a direct connection with audiences, blending fashion with craft and experience. These moments felt personal and immersive, setting the tone for what the brand represents. From there, Absent Findings entered more design focused environments in Milan, including Lineapelle Designers Edition and Fondazione Sozzani . These platforms placed the brand within a wider conversation around material innovation and contemporary design, allowing its work to be seen in a more global context. Fashion week presentations followed as a natural extension of this journey. A digital showcase on the Milano Fashion Week calendar introduced the brand through a cinematic lens, while a recent runway at Dubai Fashion Week translated that same language into a physical format. Both formats felt aligned, reinforcing the same narrative rather than shifting direction. What makes Absent Findings stand out is not the speed of its growth, but the clarity behind it. Each step feels connected, building on the last without losing its sense of identity. There is no urgency to over define or over explain. Instead, the brand allows its work to speak in a quieter, more assured way. In a moment where fashion often leans toward excess, Absent Findings offers something more grounded. It understands its references, respects its materials, and moves forward with a clear sense of self. That quiet confidence is what stays with you, long after the collection has passed.

  • Black Hole Theory

    SOCIETY by Akash Khatri Black Hole Theory 1 October 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If what happens beyond universe fascinates you then this article is for you! “Black Hole”, “Warm Hole” these are few of the scientific terms that recently became famous, thanks to the sci-fi series and films! But have you ever delved into the reality check of these theories?If not, no worries! We will be talking about the theories and facts related to Black hole right here in this article. “Black Hole” – the enigma that this term has! Who first predicted the “Black Hole” theory? The human genius Albert Einstein explained about the existence of “Black Hole” long back in 1916 in his work “General Theory of Relativity”. But he never named it as “Black Hole”. It was more of a prediction than a theory. Want to know a fun fact? Einstein himself never believed that such an object could exist in the outer space! Then who coined this name? It was American astronomer John Wheeler who coined the term “Black Hole” in the year 1967. But even till that time, nobody could find a trace of black hole. When we got know that black holes REALLY exist? The first ever black hole was discovered in the year 1971 and soon the world acknowledged the existence of black hole in real. What exactly is a Black Hole? Black hole is a densely compact object that does not let anything pass through it, even light. It has immense gravitational pull. Why this has so much of gravitational pull? When matter is squeezed into a tiny space it is bound to have such kind of gravitational pull! And black hole is a sheer black space in universe which can’t be seen with naked eyes. How black holes are formed? When a star runs out of fuel, it dies and gets converted into a “black hole. A space where only gravitational pull is left. No spark-No shine-No light! Are there only one kind of black hole? No, there are three kinds of black holes (discovered so far): 1. Steller Black Holes 2. Supermassive Black Holes 3. Intermediate Black Holes What did Stephen Hawking contribute about this topic Black Hole? In 1974, Stephen Hawking made a prediction that black holes eventually evaporate entirely (Though this theory is yet to be physically proved in real!!). Another interesting theory explained by Hawking is “Spaghettification”. This theory says, if by default, an object is trapped in a black hole then due to its exceptional gravitational pull the object would be stretched like a Spaghetti from head to toe, vertically! There is no end on the number of theories that this enigmatic topic has! #blackhole #Hawking #spaghettification #theories SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

  • Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion

    Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion By Ananya Patankar Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion 17 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Art in Orbit Golden beads, secret watches, and a new artistic collaboration—the Maison’s Perlée collection returns with playful grandeur and signature savoir-faire Graceful and luminous, the new Perlée collection by Van Cleef & Arpels captures the Maison’s talent for turning simplicity into seduction, and gold into poetry. At the heart of these creations lies the golden bead—a Maison signature that transforms geometry into poetry, and ornament into art. Re-imagined with luminous stones, sculptural volumes, and secret surprises, the new collection is a celebration of lightness, movement, and refined whimsy. With every piece, Perlée reflects the spirit of Van Cleef & Arpels: a house where legacy meets invention, and where each jewel whispers a story shaped by beauty, heritage, and exceptional savoir-faire . The Perlée collection is Van Cleef & Arpels at its most elemental, where form and finesse converge in a single motif: the golden bead . Rooted in the ancient art of granulation, these gleaming orbs have traced the Maison’s history—from the bold contours of the 1948 Couscous bracelet to the delicate curves of the Alhambra motif introduced in 1968. But in Perlée, the bead is no longer just an accent, it is the star. Rounded, radiant, and impossibly harmonious, each bead reflects light with a joyful rhythm, lending the collection its signature sense of movement and clarity. They speak a universal design language: playful yet composed, architectural yet fluid. In a world often defined by excess, Perlée offers quiet glamour—a reminder that simplicity, when perfected, is the ultimate sophistication. Whether strung delicately across a ring or encircling the wrist in gold-dusted precision, the bead becomes more than material; it becomes emotion made visible. This season, Perlée unfolds in a crescendo of preciousness, offering creations that shimmer with individuality while maintaining the collection’s signature symmetry and charm. From sculpted rings to delicate earrings, the collection balances minimalist elegance with sumptuous craftsmanship. In the Perlée Signature line, rings and bracelets crafted in white, rose, or yellow gold exude an effortless purity and sculptural grace. Their surfaces are adorned with solely polished golden beads, making each curve feel architectural and serene. For those drawn to symbolism, the Perlée Clovers collection brings the Maison’s cherished motif of luck to life , with stylized four-leaf patterns traced in radiant beads and brilliant diamonds. Meanwhile, With Perlée Couleurs, vibrant hues take center stage, stones such as turquoise, malachite, and coral are set within gleaming gold, their natural and untreated clarity carefully preserved. That’s not all, then comes the opulent sparkle of Perlée Diamonds: five rows of rose or white gold beads interspersed with diamonds that catch and scatter light with every movement. These asymmetric compositions add a dynamic edge to the collection, allowing pieces to be layered or worn alone in quiet majesty. True to Van Cleef & Arpels’ standards, each gemstone is handpicked with a collector’s eye: diamonds from D to F in color, IF to VVS in clarity, and colored stones celebrated for their crystalline depth and natural brilliance. The result? Jewelry that glows, not just with light, but with legacy and pride. In the world of Van Cleef & Arpels, time is never simply measured—it is adorned, concealed, and re-imagined. With the new Perlée timepieces, the Maison continues its tradition of crafting jewels that tell time, fusing haute horlogerie with haute joaillerie in elegant harmony. At first glance, the Perlée watches appear like exquisite bracelets—slender, luminous, and perfectly balanced. But look closer, and you’ll discover dials crafted in guilloché white mother-of-pearl, gently encased within golden beaded frames. The delicate structure is held in place by a discreet central attachment, a subtle nod to Van Cleef’s aesthetic signatures. The true enchantment, however, lies in the secret watches, pieces that veil the passage of time behind layers of artistry. The Perlée Secret Pendant watch , for instance, hides its dial beneath a beaded disc set with rubies and diamonds, while the Toi & Moi Secret Watch balances twin dials like a duet, echoing themes of love and duality. Invisible mechanisms, such as a hidden push-button to set the time, elevate the technical mastery. And with interchangeable straps in leather or grosgrain, each timepiece can shift from day to night with seamless grace, proof that practicality and poetry can indeed coexist. What is special about this season’s Perlée collection is that it arrives with a visual storybook crafted by long-time collaborator Arthur Hoffner , a French designer whose sculptural imagination transforms the collection into an atmospheric dreams-cape. Since 2018, Hoffner has brought his signature playfulness and precision to Van Cleef & Arpels campaigns—but this year, his vision is more enchanting than ever. Set against a stylized snowy village, his backdrop of geometric forms, arches, spheres, and delicate slopes create a miniature world where jewelry appears to move with the light. It’s not merely a setting but a mood: poetic, architectural, and serene. Hoffner’s affinity for spheres resonates deeply with Perlée’s essence . “The sphere is almost too perfect to be of this Earth,” he muses, an idea echoed in every golden bead. His interpretation gives the collection a new narrative dimension, one that marries fantasy and form. Like the jewelry itself, his visuals whisper of quiet luxury artful, intentional, and impossible to forget. Behind every piece in the Perlée collection lies the Maison’s uncompromising commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, a philosophy that turns metal and mineral into living art. From the first sketch to the final polish, each creation is shaped by the hands of expert artisans, drawing on techniques passed down through generations. Iconic to Van Cleef & Arpels, the golden beads are sculpted with exceptional precision—generous in form, flawlessly smooth, and mirror-polished to catch and reflect light with breathtaking clarity. Whether arranged in fluid lines or clustered with precious stones, the beads create a tactile richness that’s instantly recognizable. When set with diamonds or vibrant stones, each piece undergoes openwork detailing, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the stones from within. This interplay of light magnifies their natural brilliance while maintaining the collection’s signature airiness. Even the mechanisms behind the timepieces are artfully concealed, ensuring that functionality never compromises beauty. Each element, every clasp, every stone, every bead bears the Maison’s signature of attention to detail. It’s not just jewelry, but a legacy of excellence, designed to be cherished across generations. To own a piece from the Perlée collection is to step into the storied world of Van Cleef & Arpels, a world shaped not by fleeting trends, but by enduring codes, timeless beauty, and a quiet sense of exclusivity. The golden bead, now a house signature, first graced the Maison’s creations in the late 1940s and has since become a symbol of its refined identity. From the Couscous wristwatch of 1949 to the beloved Alhambra motif that debuted in 1968, golden beads have traced the outlines of Van Cleef’s most iconic designs. Over the decades, they’ve appeared alongside whimsical animal clips, vivid gemstones, and sculptural silhouettes. Yet in Perlée, the motif reaches its full expression, elevated from decorative flourish to elemental form. And while the aesthetic remains open and joyful, the sense of rarity is unmistakable. Each piece is a testament to precision, restraint, and artistic qualities that define the Van Cleef & Arpels woman. In a world saturated with spectacle, Perlée offers a different kind of luxury: intimate, eternal, and exquisitely French. There are jewels that dazzle, and then there are jewels that stay with you, not just on the skin, but in memory, in feeling, in the quiet assertion of elegance they lend to every gesture. Perlée belongs to the latter. It doesn’t clamor for attention; it glows . With each golden bead, Van Cleef & Arpels invites you into a world where time slows, beauty speaks softly, and every detail is a promise kept. Whether it circles your wrist or rests gently at your collarbone, a Perlée creation doesn’t merely adorn, it transforms. It reminds you that luxury isn’t about more; it’s about meaning. And perhaps, that’s what makes Van Cleef & Arpels irresistible.

  • Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt

    Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt LIFESTYLE Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt By Ananya Patankar 14 July 2025 Advertisement Sleek, intuitive, and engineered to whisper rather than roar, the Audi Q5 e-hybrid is a car for those who believe performance shouldn’t demand attention—but effortlessly earn it. It’s not just about going electric. It’s about elevating every moment behind the wheel. Audi turns the page with two bold new additions to the Q5 lineage. From first glance, it’s clear it isn’t merely an SUV made for commuting. The SUV and Sportback are not just sculpted but add to its athletic silhouette more akin to modern architecture than machinery. Whether you’re gazing at the Sportback’s sleek roof-line or the classic stance of the SUV, the Q5 e-hybrid feels at home anywhere: coastal highways, cobbled cities or countryside curves. However, there is more to the Q5 than just its astonishing architecture. Beneath its sculpted form beats the unmistakable heart of Audi—quattro all-wheel drive, now re-imagined with electric precision. Available in two power-trains—220 kW and a thrilling 270 kW—the Q5 e-hybrid isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a masterclass in dynamic elegance. It’s an experience of choice, a choice that makes your Sunday grocery runs pleasurable and weekend getaways relaxing. With up to 100 kilometers of pure electric driving the car promises that signature Audi surge, hitting 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 5.1 seconds. When it comes to the driving experience, you're enveloped by a cabin that feels more sanctuary than vehicle. Soft-touch material wraps you in Audi’s S line design, where every surface, every control, feels positioned not just with thought, but with compassion. There’s subtle confidence here, a feeling where your Q5 understands before you speak. The Q5’s fully digital MMI experience plus is not just an infotainment system, but rather your co-pilot, artfully integrating Audi’s application store, along with smartphone interface, and a dynamic sound system that drowns the traffic allowing you a pleasurable and non-stressful drive. As for the passenger experience, Audi does not compromise. The fully adjustable rear seat bench plus lets passengers choose their own realm of space—whether you’re traveling solo with weekend luggage or with a backseat trio heading for dinner in the hills. As promised, your vehicle strives to understand before you even speak, responding with utmost silence, like it’s EV mode. Driving the Q5 e-hybrid in EV mode is like slipping into a private members’ club—exclusive, hushed, effortless. Where power and peace collide. With three levels of regenerative braking controlled by steering wheel paddles, you can command the drive with a gentle flick of the fingers. Whether coasting into a quiet sunrise or descending a hillside road, the Q5’s intelligent hybrid system ensures that every joule of energy is put to sophisticated use. And when the roads open up? That’s when the combustion engine joins the ensemble—smooth, quiet, and seamlessly blended with it’s electric torque. It’s not a transition you notice; it’s one you feel, like the subtle gear shift in a live jazz quartet. Additionally, beneath that is a battery system re-imagined; not just to perform but think ahead. At the heart of the Q5 e-hybrid is a re-imagined high-voltage battery with 45% more capacity than its predecessor. Audi didn’t just increase the numbers—they re-engineered the battery architecture, using a “cell-to-pack” design that not only boosts energy density but preserves cabin and trunk space. Resulting in up to 1,358 liters of storage in the SUV with the seats down—and a silent confidence that no detail has gone overlooked. Consecutively, charging too can be considered a part of your lifestyle, rather than just another chore. With 11 kW AC charging capability, you’re looking at a full charge in just 2.5 hours. Plug in at home after your evening run, and it’s ready to go by the time you finish your espresso. But beyond convenience lies intelligence—the kind that can predict your next move. Audi’s hybrid drive strategy is more than just intelligent—it’s instinctual. With Predictive Efficiency Assist , the car uses GPS data, traffic analysis, even gradient readings, to determine when to recover energy or coast—making the most of every meter. It’s like driving with a sixth sense, where the car knows when to push, and when to pause. In addition, there’s a refined rhythm to the Q5 e-hybrid’s movement: the quiet confidence of a machine that’s always aligned—with the road, the moment, and you. Whether in EV, hybrid, or full performance mode, this Audi adapts not just to roads, but to the luxurious lifestyle you seek. In a world obsessed with volume, the Q5 leads with stillness and luxury. The Q5 earns admiration through craft, presence and purposeful innovation. You can feel it in the red brake calipers peeking behind 19-inch alloy wheels, in the tailored black sports seats, in the way ambient lighting turns night drives into theatre. Built in San José Chiapa, Mexico, and arriving in Europe mid-2025, the Q5 e-hybrid is more than a new chapter—it’s Audi at its most evolved. It speaks to the modern driver: someone who values sustainability, yes—but refuses to compromise on thrill, texture, or style. With the Q5 e-hybrid, Audi redefines modern luxury—not through volume or velocity, but through refinement, range, and instinctive ease.
