Meet Mrs. Rinima Borah - an entrepreneur, pageant winner & an amalgamation of beauty with brains.

Ronnie was abandoned by his father at a young age and didn't hesitate to step in, and believed that he’s an extension of her, a part of her family," she says. Watching Ronnie ever since childhood grow into a kind and empathetic young man gave her immense pleasure “Raising him transformed me, bringing out a nurturing side I didn’t know existed,” she mentioned.

Mrs India reinforced her belief that women should have the freedom to make her own choices, and “I’m proud to be part of the movement changing societal norms”. Breaking Stereotypes & Empowering Women Every Indian woman should be able to make her own decision. The world of beauty pageants has come a long way, and she gives herself as an example to this evolution. “I’m 5'4 and have tattoos, something that would have been unthinkable for a beauty queen in the past. “These platforms are paving the way for inclusive representation, celebrating women of all ages, marital statuses, and unique traits” proving that strength and authenticity are the new gold standards. Despite facing domestic violence and countless challenges for her, giving up was never an option from concealing her bruises with makeup, she faced the world with unmatched strength with a smile on her face which even gave strength to her during the contest. "For women like me, resilience isn’t just a trait—it’s a necessity.” Her journey is a true representation of power "Indian women are breaking moulds, challenging norms, and proving that they’re not just resilient, but also leaders and changemakers." Balanced meal - cheatmeal? Cheat meal? No not for me," she says with a smile. I find joy in the simplicity of good meals, i love eating "Khichdi with potatoes, coriander, and a side of papad and pickle is my ultimate comfort food." When it comes to fitness my philosophy is all about balance. "I believe in enjoying my favourite foods without guilt, focusing on portion control and staying consistent” balance and moderation is a key to great health and a healthy lifestyle. Imagine being a judge & curating a round As per her perspective, if she were a judge she would introduce a debate round to give contestants a platform to showcase their views and intellect. It would not only allow the audience and judges to understand each contestant’s perspectives but also will help in checking the confidence, and critical thinking ability. “A healthy debate would encourage mutual respect, inspire growth, and highlight diverse perspectives on real-world issues, ensuring we choose the best candidate to represent India on the global stage”.

  • Van Cleef & Arpels At Tefaf 2025: Where Jewellery Meets Art

    Van Cleef & Arpels At Tefaf 2025: Where Jewellery Meets Art By Anushka Uniyal Van Cleef & Arpels At Tefaf 2025: Where Jewellery Meets Art 22 March 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Rihanna said it best, “Shine bright like a diamond.” And if there’s one thing that truly fits that description, it’s Van Cleef & Arpels . This legendary French jeweller is back at TEFAF 2025 —the Met Gala of the art and antique world—with a breathtaking lineup from its Heritage Collection. Imagine a 1955 turquoise and diamond necklace dripping in Old Hollywood glamour or a 1973 Anjou necklace that transforms into two bracelets. Think The Devil Wears Prada, but instead of fashion outfits, it’s all about handcrafted, gem-studded masterpieces. This collection isn’t just about beautiful jewellery, it’s about history, art and timeless elegance that keeps getting better with time. A Brand That’s Always In Style Before we step into the details of this stunning jewellery, let’s take a moment to appreciate Van Cleef & Arpels’ legacy. Founded in 1906 in Place Vendôme, Paris—aka the Rodeo Drive of fine jewellery—this brand has been the go-to choice for royalty, Hollywood stars and serious collectors for over a century. If you’ve ever admired Princess Grace of Monaco’s elegance or Queen Elizabeth II’s charm, chances are, Van Cleef & Arpels played a part. Elizabeth Taylor ? Check. Jackie Kennedy? Absolutely. Beyoncé ? Of course. This Maison has draped some of the most powerful and glamorous women in history in diamonds and gold! If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, Van Cleef & Arpels is basically the ultimate BFF! The Heritage Collection Launched in 2007, the Heritage Collection is where Van Cleef & Arpels brings its greatest work back to life. These are stunning pieces from the 1920s to the 1990s which are carefully revived and restored. Each piece goes through a serious glow-up process, a full check-up and just the right amount of polish to bring back its original sparkle and once a piece makes it into the Heritage Collection? Consider it a true masterpiece in the world of fine jewellery. Spotlight On The Showstoppers Necklace, 1955 Platinum, diamonds and turquoise—definitely something Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn would wear while sipping champagne. It captures the grandeur of 18th-century jewellery but feels fresh with its cabochon turquoise stones. And that pop of blue? Chef’s kiss. Marguerite Clip, 1964 Van Cleef & Arpels has always had a soft spot for nature, and this gold and emerald floral clip is proof. With delicately crafted petals that seem to be floating in a breeze, it’s a design that will never fade. Anjou Necklace, Transformable Into Bracelets, 1973 Who doesn’t love jewellery that does more than one thing right? This yellow gold and diamond necklace isn’t just stunning, it also transforms into two bracelets. Because why settle for one statement piece when you can have two? Orsay bracelet, 1994 Classy, structured and decked with rubies and diamonds, this bracelet is minimalist and meets maximalist. Inspired by the Maison’s signature Mystery Set technique, the gems create an illusion of uninterrupted sparkle. Why Tefaf Is The Place To Be TEFAF isn’t just another event; it’s where collectors, curators and serious jewellery lovers gather to admire some of the most extraordinary pieces ever made. This is where jewellery is more than gems and stones, it’s history, art and a story all packaged into one. Final Thoughts Some jewellery is just decoration. Van Cleef & Arpels is a legacy.

  • Vashon Shaneé: Where Elegance Becomes Intent

    Vashon Shaneé: Where Elegance Becomes Intent By Shriniwas Kodape Vashon Shaneé: Where Elegance Becomes Intent 13 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In the world Vashon Shaneé creates, time slows down. There’s a deliberate calm in her aesthetic—a kind of pause, like the quiet breath before a symphony begins. Her garments don’t shout. They don’t compete for attention. They carry a quiet power, drawing the eye not with spectacle, but with certainty. Every silhouette she sends into the world feels like a gesture made with care. Her designs don’t chase seasons or react to trends—they originate from a place deeper than fashion. Each piece is measured, not just in fabric but in feeling. She doesn’t dress women to transform them. She dresses women to reveal them. Vashon’s work begins not with color palettes or sketches, but with questions. Who is this woman? What world does she walk in? What does she want to carry into a room, silently and confidently? Her approach to design feels less like drafting patterns and more like building a dialogue—each piece born out of exchange rather than execution. The resulting pieces speak volumes. Tailored suits that stand like architecture. Satin gowns that seem to glide rather than hang. Shoulders that are sculpted, not exaggerated. Hems that trail like memories. Every element is deliberate—crafted to affirm, not to mask. These are garments that don’t just fit the body. They echo it. Her Instagram portfolio reflects this philosophy—a visual archive of elegance and depth. No frantic filters. No gimmicks. Just light, presence, and clarity. Whether it’s a backless evening gown in deep emerald or a sharply tailored jumpsuit echoing 1960s formality, the focus is always the same: grace over glamour, emotion over excess. And yet, Vashon Shaneé’s work never feels minimal for minimalism’s sake. It’s romantic, but never saccharine. Structured, yet soft in spirit. You’ll often find a daring neckline subtly anchored by a skirt that moves with softness and restraint. Her designs sit in the tension between past and present—where regency silhouettes meet contemporary poise, and vintage silhouettes are reinterpreted through a modern, assertive lens. Yet, interpreting her craft as purely visual underestimates its deeper resonance. What makes her practice extraordinary is the ritual of creation. Each client enters into a shared process with her—one that values conversation, collaboration, and fit that’s more than physical. Custom sizing is not a premium option; it’s the beginning of the journey. Every sketch emerges not only from creative instinct but from a deep attunement to the person it’s meant for. The fittings are intimate. The finish is personal. That level of attention feels revolutionary in a fashion world driven by immediacy. But Vashon doesn’t move for the market. She moves for meaning. Even her approach to sustainability feels less about slogans and more about soul. Her garments aren’t simply built to endure in thread and stitching—they’re meant to live on in memory. These are clothes one keeps, passes down, returns to. They don’t belong to a moment—they belong to a story. And at the heart of it all is a designer who leads not with spectacle, but with stillness. Vashon doesn’t clamor for the spotlight. She doesn’t need to. Her work speaks because it listens first. It is precise, poetic, and deeply personal. She doesn’t dress women to be seen. She dresses them to feel fully themselves. Perhaps the best word for her process is devotional. Devoted to her clients. To form. To integrity. In each piece, there’s a kind of reverence—for craft, for individuality, for the quiet strength of women who know exactly who they are. Because when Vashon Shaneé creates a garment, she isn’t just shaping a silhouette. She’s shaping the space a woman steps into—gently, boldly, entirely. Vashon Shaneé’s signature aesthetic was most recently showcased at Thailand Fashion Week , a celebrated platform for emerging designers who lead with depth over display. Her presence at Thailand Fashion Week further cements her place among voices redefining fashion with clarity, elegance, and intention.

Classy style doesn’t always have to be boring as one can always incorporate classier trendy pieces into their looks. And of course, there’s so much more to being a classy person than just the way one looks. Here, the prime focus is just on how to look classy. Through this article, one can learn 5 easy ways to always look classy. So, let’s get started! Keep Clothes Pristine One should keep their clothes looking pristine and clean at all times. What is meant by this is that a person doesn’t always have to go out and spend hundreds of dollars getting really expensive clothes. Instead, even if the person is wearing something that’s relatively cheaper and they present themselves well and wear them right, they can make for a very classy outfit. One should always have their clothes crease-free. Balance the Outfits One can limit the amount of skin they show by not showing too much skin everywhere. Well, it is completely okay to wear something slightly revealing but the rule that most people like to go by is to balance it out. So, if a person is wearing something slightly revealing on the top, they can balance it out with something a bit more conservative on the bottom such as pants that can cover their legs. One can also wear skinny fit and show off their figure but it is much classier to cover up the bottom half and vice versa. Minimal and Natural Make-up Obviously, everyone would still do a few things to enhance their looks but one should not go overboard. With make-up, the three things to focus on would be the skin, eyebrows, and eyelashes. Everyone’s skin should always look nice and clean. There’s nothing worse than a cakey foundation look. In this day and age, everyone is going for a more natural, glowy look so lighter make-up should be preferred. Eyebrows definitely frame one’s face. If someone has messy eyebrows, no matter how nice their clothes or hair are, their face won’t look put together. As soon as they’ll have nice and tidy eyebrows, it will enhance their overall look. Wear Dainty Jewellery With everyday jewellery, it is always classier to go with dainty jewellery that looks high-quality. One can even wear them in the shower and not worry about them getting tarnished. So, having a few pieces that are really dainty and of good quality would last through the years and would definitely give a classier look overall. Wear Comfortable Clothes There’s nothing classy about wearing something uncomfortable and constantly keep adjusting. It’s a sure thing that everyone would have experienced these clothes that look really beautiful but are a bit uncomfortable. It just makes them look not very confident with themselves and this constant fidgeting is just not classy. So, one should choose their clothing items very consciously. So, these were the 5 ways of always looking classy. Incorporating them into daily life can make anyone look classy!

To be very frank, we live on Earth, so we must save our environment, wildlife, marine life, and every living thing because we don't inhabit this planet alone. As creators and models, we have a tremendous responsibility to use our influence to advocate for positive change." Her words echo in our minds long after the interview, reminding us of the power of social media and fashion. Sunita T.

  • The Queen Of The Unconventional Pantless Trend: Kristen Stewart

    The Queen Of The Unconventional Pantless Trend: Kristen Stewart By Rini Pathak The Queen Of The Unconventional Pantless Trend: Kristen Stewart 16 March 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Pulling off the ultimate boss babe avatar, looks like Kristen Stewart has mastered the latest pantless trend. The Twilight alum’s clothing is dominated by corpcore, and it shows. During her trip to New York for the film’s marketing, Love Lies Bleeding, the actress showcased her daring side by joining the micro shorts craze exactly one week after she made her red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of the film, only sporting a cut-out high-leg backless leotard and tights that took the no pants trend to heights of next level. Her all-black outfit of the day from Brunello Cucinelli, an Italian premium label, including a nude collared shirt with one button closed and the others open. A carefree mood emanated from the rolled sleeves and side pocket. Peeking out from underneath was a neutral-toned Victoria’s Secret bralette. The crocheted beige panties with brown borders were the true focal point of the ensemble. Kristen put all her trust in that tiny outfit. Her sole accessories were silver statement rings and brown-tinted sunglasses, and her elegant avatar was completed with a black quilted Gucci purse. Wearing two distinct styles of micro shorts in a single day; it certainly seems like she is currently competing with Kendall Jenner to be the unofficial style icon. Later on the very same day, Kristen did make a little alteration to her appearance by wearing maroon loafers with tassels instead of heels, buttoning all but the top few buttons on her shirt, and putting her disheveled hair up in a messy updo. A complete change of clothes happened later in the same day. Kristen wore a black t-shirt with side panels and lace sleeves this time. It had a high neck. The top also had a white collar, and the chest was adorned with a tiny white Chanel insignia. Kristen accessorized it with the same maroon shoes from earlier in the day, black leg warmers bearing the Chanel logo, and high-waist black sports style micro shorts with a white trim. She wore black Ray-Ban wayfarers instead of red-tinted geometric sunglasses, and her hair was done in an updo with a wet effect. Tara Swennen, Kristen’s stylist, was responsible for both of her fits. She is also the person behind her risqué leotard appearance. Tara’s styling of these ensembles reads almost as a critique on current fashion trends. The majority of people don’t feel comfortable wearing pantless suits, skimpy clothing, or open-collared shirts on a daily basis. However, seeing Stewart’s lingerie so prominently displayed serves as a reminder that, despite their celebrity status, celebrities also have physical concerns. Essentially, Kristen Stewart’s style selections are a reflection of her unshakable sincerity and defiance of social norms. Regardless of whether she’s walking the red carpet or hitting the streets, Stewart’s sense of style continues to be a tribute to uniqueness, personal expression, and the ability of fashion to change lives. True style has no borders, as Kristen Stewart consistently pushes boundaries and defies expectations.

  • 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.
