Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows by Priti Sharma Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows 12 December 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Similar to art, fashion shows and editorials are meant to elicit discussion. I may not always agree with the idea because it is frequently absurd and outrageous! The objective is to adapt one style element to your own style. The suit is not intended to be worn from head to toe. Fashion shows are crucial since they present the newest trends for the season. They serve as a moving gallery and a style icon for quick clothes retailers who copy high fashion. Instead, a fashion show is an opportunity for a designer to showcase a specific aesthetic, mood, feel or point of view. As a result, fashion shows can tend to be more conceptual and focused on a higher level idea. Designers can display their creative ideas for garments during fashion shows. Future modifications to what individuals wear may result from this. Since they have been included in fashion shows for a number of years, men wearing skirts are now considered acceptable attire. Fashion shows are hugely significant in the worlds of fashion and modeling. Their acceptance has grown quickly, making them one of the major fashion events. The most important aspect of many fashion designers' careers is participating in fashion shows. But what's even more crucial for these exhibitions is that fashion designers can showcase their work and skill. They can develop cooperative partnerships and entice as many clients or business partners as they can this way. Pret-a-Porter & Haute Couture — At a fashion show, models walk the catwalk to display a designer's newest collections. Fashions from pret-a-porter and haute couture are distinguished from one another. Haute couture literally translates as high-end tailoring and has French origins. Haute couture is a term used to describe lavish, distinctive, and high-quality fashion designs. The opulent sets, which feature choreography in the Busby Berkeley style set in magical woods and space-age discos, are as lavish as the outfits, which are adorned with Swarovski crystals and pearls. The twice-yearly couture presentations, which are presently being held in Paris, are unquestionable quite the spectacle. The costs are equally astounding as the dresses: a made-to-measure ballgown may easily cost as much as a Rolls-Royce, while a blouse would cost as much as a Madrid flat. Which begs the question: what is the point of couture if relatively few people would spend six figures on a dress? Similar to how automakers flaunt their technological prowess by building supercars, fashion designers utilize couture as a demonstration of their power and technical prowess. The Chambre de Commerce & d'Industrie de Paris carefully regulate entry to the calendar; in order to become a couture designer, fashion businesses must adhere to severe criteria, including having a Paris-based studio with more than 20 employees. The most absurd ideas from a designer are displayed in couture, where there are no financial restrictions on aspiration. Additionally, it displays financial strength. For instance, Versace nearly went out of business during the early 2000s recession and discontinued presenting couture for eight years. When it returned to schedule, in 2012, the brand was perceived as being back in rude health. In short, couture designers are the creme de la creme; fashion’s richest, most accomplished top dogs. Mid-century France was where haute couture first appeared. Charles Frederick Worth, the so-called founding father, was the first to sell custom-made, high-end clothing manufactured to his own designs. Up until that point, made-to-measure clothes has only ever been created with the customer's preferences in mind. The fashion business saw a transformation because to Worth. The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne then came together; this group still governs haute couture and today refers to itself as a fashion association. The designer may only showcase his haute couture line under this genre at the couture presentations of the Fashion Weeks if this committee approves the collection of his designer label. The point of couture is clear: it’s all about glory, pizzazz, and the bottom line. #FashionShow #Fashion #Couture #Glamour #Models #Designers #FashionWeek SEARCH Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows FASHION From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION Legendary Female Icons Who Made Fashion Statements In The 20th Century FASHION The House of Chanel: History FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Emporio Armani SS26 Is What Effortless Actually Looks Like Right Now 13 April 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Max Fashion Turns 20 At Lakmé Fashion Week, In A Showcase That Felt Instinctive 7 April 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Inside Lakmé Fashion Week: Triune By Prasoon Sharma Presents Fragile Dreams 2 April 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Inside Gen Next At Lakmé Fashion Week: A Showcase Led By Saim 31 March 2026 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

by Rupashree Ravi TRAVEL Why the Maldives doesn’t fail to amaze tourists worldwide by Rupashree Ravi 5 August 2022 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement A made-for-Instagram spot, the Maldives is the new go-to favourite for tourists all over the world. It has become the world’s greatest and most special island destination. The warm climate, exquisite white sandy beaches, and incredible underwater marine life are the main reasons why many tourists visit the country, along with recreational pursuits like scuba diving, snorkelling, and surfing. The country is a collection of many tiny coral islands. Each island has at least one resort, which is surrounded by a lagoon, making it a paradise for tourists. There’s a beach for every person in the Maldives What is so special about this place? One of the first things is the peace and tranquillity of the island that attracts tourists in this busy world. You can only hear the sound of sea waves with no crowds or rush. The magnificent reefs and museums add to the ultimate Maldives experience. Some of the must visit places in the Maldives are The Grand Friday Mosque, the glowing beach at Vaadhoo Island, the Whale Submarine, the capital city of Male and of course, the breathtaking and exotic island beaches. Moreover, the dining experiences are unique and very delightful. There are plenty of choices from the Mediterranean to Asian cuisines and live grills. Some dishes are par excellence, where you sit under a starlit sky in an exclusive private dining experience on the beach. Without doubt, seafood is a must try like the Rihakuru, live lobsters, fish curries and cutlets, which is a staple diet. Nothing beats a beachside meal The craze to visit the island country increased more than ever before as Covid-19 lockdowns around the world were gradually lifted. The Maldives was one of the first countries to open international borders in mid-2020, with strict guidelines and measures to curb the virus. And thus, the Maldives became the most popular holiday destination and the biggest international tourism success story in 2020-21. The pandemic became the real game changer as Indians, in particular, started preferring the Maldives to other beach destinations like Goa, Thailand, and Malaysia. Because unlike the crowded and somewhat unhygienic beaches at these destinations, the Maldives was promoted as a safe haven and social distancing-friendly location. They began seeing the destination as a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experience. With Indian celebrities and influencers visiting the country for vacations, staycations and even photoshoots and promoting it with the tagline ‘Isolation never looked this good’, the awe for the beautiful country only kept increasing. For the discerning Indian traveller, the Maldives gave a value for money and affordable luxury for all. The Maldives became the perfect hub for couples The country is known for its eco-tourism which promotes the survival of the reefs that surround its many islands. They protect the livelihoods of the local communities while also ensuring sustainable and hospitable stays.

5 Ways To Know “He is Just not that into you” by Akash Khatri 5 Ways To Know “He is Just not that into you” 1 September 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Crushing over someone and hoping that it will be all reciprocated back one day or maybe you are dating someone with the hope of long term plans and all you get is mixed signals? On some days you just feel that “Wow, he must be so much into me” and the very next moment you question that very thought you had. We all go through that emotional dilemma. So, don’t worry you are not the only one who is facing this alone. Let’s cut it short and let’s see the pointers which should not be overlooked in this case, which is definitely screaming out loud that HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Less Curious: Remember the time when you were so excited to even see his name flashing in your inbox and were so excited to know about his day but did not get the same kind of excitement from his end? Well, that is a sign screaming that he is less curious to know about you, about your day and about your hobbies. Well, that surely indicates a lack of interest from his end. So my dearies, whoever has faced this, please stop right there. No point chasing someone who is not ready to chase you or for that matter does not want to be chased! Closed: Maybe you want to share your stories from your life with him. Maybe he is a good listener too! But when you show your curiosity to know more about his life, he simply ignores to answer or refuses to open up about those with you. Well, I do agree there are few people who take some time to open up but hey, that cannot be a forever thing. So, if even after a few dates or meet ups he is not ready to open up much to you about himself and his life. Then, darling, you know what it means! Not An Initiator: If he lets you plan everything without taking a slightest of interest in those planning activities or even does never bring up the topic to go out with you as much as you ask him or plan things then again you should get it clear that maybe he is just being nice not to avoid your plans directly but he is not yet into you to actually take initiatives to plan things out. Bummer right? But ask yourself if you will really want this to continue and whether this will actually make you happy in the long run? If it says NO then you know you need to stop thinking about this guy. Priorities: Well, we all love to be the priority and not the option in friendships, relationships or dates. So, if he is always putting other things over you directly or indirectly then you know what you really need to know! You are smart and you should know when to walk away or walk in. No Acknowledgement: If he has not introduced you to his friend circle even as a friend then you know your position and importance in his life. Acknowledgments are really important in case you are really planning for something long term. So care for that self-respect darling and you know what will it tell you better than I pen it down here. So, this list is pretty much it to say the guy you are having in your mind and heart is having the same thing from his end for you or not! It is totally okay if you are simply crushing over someone! But in case you are seeing someone or dating, someone, then it is important for both of you to be on the same page. Otherwise, it will only lead you to heartaches and breaks. But trust these feelings, they only clear the path in your life for someone more worthy than this guy you are currently obsessed about. Things do fall in place at the right time. Just remember one thing, God gives us the people we need and deserve not always the ones we want. Keep the faith alive and never stop believing in love and miracles. Cause miracles happen when you believe in them! P.S. In case you are a guy and reading this and could relate then these filters do apply for your situation as well..!! #Sad #Love #Acknowledgement #Curious #Crush #5ways #Reality #Lover #Boyfriend #Intoyou #Datingadvices #Dating #Truth 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 A Matter Of Time: Tag Heuer In Project Hail Mary 12 March 2026 LIFESTYLE By Sakshi Shah The Modern Rituals Of Wellbeing 20 February 2026 LIFESTYLE By Anurag Sen Ferrari Luce And The Beauty Of Doing Less 12 February 2026 LIFESTYLE By Shriniwas Kodape Notes From The Long Way Around 8 February 2026 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

A look into actor, producer and designer Shama Sikander’s journey by Aparajita Jaiswal A look into actor, producer and designer Shama Sikander’s journey 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement “Life is my biggest role model and people are my biggest inspiration.” In our recent interview with Shama Sikander , the actor gives us a gist of her acting journey. From filming movies (like Prem Aggan, Mann, Dhoom Dhadaka, Seven) to television shows (like Ye Meri Life Hai), Shama seems to have learnt extensively from her experiences. “My projects have taught me a lot about humans and life other than acting as well. Acting comes naturally to me. I feel ecstatic when I’m in front of camera. One gets a chance to put to life a character with their own imagination. Shooting films need more time and therefore, are a bit of an ease in comparison to television. Television is all about delivering the product. Nowadays, T.V shows are equally well made but films have their own charm. Overall, the journey has made me stronger and given me the courage to fight for myself.”, says the actor. A multitasker at hand, the actor adds two more achievements in her bag- owning a production company and a women’s wear fashion label named Saisha. Shama says “It feels empowering to own a production company. As for fashion, at the time I was going through a phase where I was looking for a change in my life. Hence, I wanted to venture into something other than acting as well so I started Saisha. It feels good and creative to be a designer.” Another cherry on the cake is the actor’s dream to start directing films and shows “sometime soon”. Having clarity in terms of future goals and plans in certainly a “plus-plus” and the actor seems to have a definitive agenda. “I am currently focusing on acting and working on a peppy dance-music video. I’m going through a couple of more scripts as of now and keeping my eyes open to collaborating on some good projects as a producer too. I want to utilise my acting ability to draw an impact in the coming years.” Moreover, the actor claims that she is rejoiced at the response her recent music video Majnu 2 alongside Mika Singh is receiving. Since the longest, being a public figure and in the spotlight has its set of positives and negatives. According to the actor, the “ups and downs” are a part of the job. Keeping such a mindset and reminding oneself of the true purpose as to entering the space and help actors in staying clear of negative thoughts and emotions. Shama deepens the conversation further when asked about her biggest role model to which she remarkably responds- “Life is my biggest role model and people are my biggest inspiration. We inspire each other through our vulnerabilities and strength all the time.” Shama ends the interview in a beautiful note by reminding her fans to love themselves through all the thick and thins existing in the universe.

The Snake That Wore Red: Inside The Vision Cultured™ Revolution By Shriniwas Kodape The Snake That Wore Red: Inside The Vision Cultured™ Revolution 19 October 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The night smelled of aerosol and adrenaline. In a cramped studio littered with spray cans and half-finished sketches, Zachary Michael Roberts stood under a flickering bulb, hood pulled low, a cloud of red mist swirling around him. His hands moved fast, sharp, precise, as if he were conducting an orchestra only he could hear. Each burst of paint hissed like a snake exhaling. On the table lay the beginnings of a myth: the Vision Cultured™ “VC x YOTS Shedding Modular Piece.” Waterproof nylon. Breathable lining. An anatomically accurate ribcage stenciled across the front. Two snakes entwined in the back, their heads forming a heart. A jacket that could turn into a backpack, then into a tote bag, a shape-shifter. “I wanted something that evolves,” Roberts says, eyes gleaming with a mix of pride and exhaustion. “Like us.” He was nineteen when he started Vision Cultured™, a name that sounded less like a fashion label and more like a movement. And that’s exactly what it is, a rebellion stitched in nylon and sealed with Mod Podge. “I never wanted to be one thing,” he admits. “I draw, paint, shoot videos, design; everything I’ve ever loved comes through this one company. It’s my legacy in motion.” Now, at twenty-something, with a Bachelor of Fashion Design underway, Roberts moves like a man who knows he’s onto something not chasing trends, but purpose. The Shedding Modular Piece wasn’t born in a boardroom but from a university assignment on modular fashion that spiraled into obsession. He laughs when he recalls the drafts. “Hundreds of them,” he says. “The hood was the hardest. It covers the face, only the eyes visible. It hides, but it also dares. Red, bold, defiant, dangerous.” Thailand changed everything. A trip to Bangkok for inspiration turned into a revelation Muay Thai fighters, their coiled energy and calculated patience, reminded him of snakes. “They strike only when it matters,” he says. “They shed ego through discipline. That became the philosophy of the piece: protect, adapt, evolve.” The snake, symbol of 2025’s Chinese zodiac, slithered straight into his imagination. It wasn’t just aesthetic; it was spiritual. “Shedding is uncomfortable,” he says. “It’s growth through pain. That’s what the snake represents what we all go through.” But Roberts didn’t stop at symbolism. He turned it into texture. The jacket’s surface is hand-sprayed using Loop Colors, layered with streaks of red and white that crack, peel, and shift over time. It’s deliberately imperfect, a skin in transition. “Like graffiti,” he says. “Claimed, buffed, erased, then reclaimed again.” Each wear tells a new story. The Mod Podge seal begins to break; the colors flake and shift. The garment changes as its owner does. No two ever age the same. It’s not about permanence, it's about the poetry of erosion. There’s a quiet boldness to Roberts’ world, one foot in streetwear, the other in philosophy. “Vision Cultured™ is the intersection of identity, expression, and community,” he says. “It’s about transformation, rebellion, growth. Every piece has intention. Every stitch has a story.” And it’s not just talk. You can feel it in the weight of the jacket, in the way the ribcage aligns with your own when you wear it. It’s both armor and confession raw, exposed, unafraid. “I’ve always been fascinated by what’s beneath the surface,” Roberts says. “People, design, life, all of it. Showing bones feels vulnerable and powerful at the same time.” He describes his customers like characters in a novel. “Artists, fighters, wanderers, thinkers. People who’ve lived through something and aren’t afraid to wear that.” There’s something cinematic about the way he says it as if he’s already seen them walking through neon-lit streets, the red jacket glowing like a pulse in the dark. For Roberts, Vision Cultured™ isn’t just fashion; it’s alchemy. The transformation of pain into purpose. “Everything I said I would do,” he repeats softly, “I will do.” It sounds less like a quote and more like a spell. And maybe that’s what Vision Cultured™ really is a collection of living spells disguised as garments. They breathe, they age, they shed. They whisper stories about becoming. In the end, the Shedding Modular Piece isn’t just a jacket it’s a mirror. One that reflects not who you are, but who you’re becoming. Because true expression, like true evolution, never stays still. It coils. It sheds. And then, it strikes.

by Aparajita Jaiswal Sneak Peek into Restaurant Kitchens 6 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Should you or should you not look behind the restaurant kitchen doors You are celebrating your promotion at work at your favorite restaurant and you have ordered a tasty, locally grown organic meal. You indulge completely to savor your food, while feeling good that your life appears to be just perfect. What could be better? Well, as a starter: the conditions in which your food is prepared. Food with attitude is okay, but food with hygiene is rather more important. Ever wondered whether or not the food, we tend to treat ourselves with at restaurants, is prepared maintain the standard conditions of cleanliness and hygiene? Ever thought of having a sneak peek into the kitchen of your favorite restaurant and say Hi to the chefs? Maybe you should, once in a while. Good food is definitely good vibes until you get sick because of the low standard of cleanliness and hygiene at restaurants and eateries. Catching food infections at a restaurant is the worst nightmares of their guests, more commonly evident in children. Customers would obviously wish to dine in a restaurant that serves hygienic food and focuses on cleanliness. The point of concern here now is how do we decide which of the restaurant serves hygienic food and which of them do not maintain the standard hygiene conditions. As a usual ideology, it is assumed that the high standard five start restaurants serve the most hygienic food and maintain high standard cleanliness. Provided the fact that the entire staff of such a restaurant is well qualified and considerably trained, justifies such an image of the restaurant in people’s minds. People usually prefer the high standard and obviously expensive restaurants over the shabby, précised or pinpoint restaurants with a moderate yet considerable ambience and quality services. This preferentiality is due to the assumption of the fact that the more you pay, the higher quality of services you avail and thus the food served must be hygienic enough. The actual fact might be that you end up paying for the ambience and services provided more than over the food served. Must give this a thought! Taking the quality of food served and hygiene maintained into consideration, there is always a chance that due to such high maintenance of the 5-star restaurants, they have an access to well-furnished technology as well. There are always freezers which help them store food for longer period of time. In fact, the food served in all the franchises of large and renowned brands, have a supply of their raw materials, always in a frozen form. Nobody would actually want to eat something that is in the refrigerator of the house for a day or two, but readily enjoy such meals in the restaurants. Street foods, highly enjoyed and populous among the young, is considered to be oily and unhygienic by many. Several videos and pictures of the unhygienic conditions in which street food is prepared are timely circulated over the social media. People here tend to be very aware and concerned about the hygiene maintained and threaten the owners of small stalls by recording their videos and posting over the social media negative review or feedback. However, the fact that a considerable proportion of the entire population within a metropolitan city relies upon the street food cannot be taken for granted. What else could make the best example, but the Vada Pav in Mumbai is a staple diet for everyone, be it employees, strugglers or anyone as such. Do people here talk about hygiene? Obviously not! Is your health adversely effected by Vada Pav? Obviously not! It is not all about the quality of services provided, the fact that these street foods are freshly prepared everyday and you can actually witness the food being prepared and immediately served is what makes it safe. The fact to thus understand is that the points to consider while choosing which restaurant to dine in, shouldn’t just the ambience or the quality of service provided but the quality of food, the raw materials used, the steps taken by the cooks and serving staff to maintain hygiene and of course the freshness of the food served. You cannot form a general opinion regarding the hygiene conditions of restaurants based upon the hierarchy of restaurants. The places like food stalls can serve hygienic food as well. The high standard restaurants and at times fail to do so as well and vice versa. You, as a consumer need to wisely choose among all these restaurants. Make sure that you dine to be healthy and fine.

Purab Kohli’s Cinematic Expedition Through Films, Travel And Self-Expression by Akshra Khandelwal Purab Kohli’s Cinematic Expedition Through Films, Travel And Self-Expression 22 September 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement As the midyear sun casts its warm glow upon us, we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of moments, events, and experiences that shape our lives. For actor extraordinaire Purab Kohli, these last six months have been a whirlwind, an exhilarating rollercoaster of creativity and exploration that has left him both exhilarated and eager for more. As we settle in for a candid chat with the versatile actor, we delve into his recent adventures, cinematic escapades, wanderlust, and thoughts on life, work, and style. "It's gone by really fast. It's been quite a busy first half of the year," Kohli begins with a boyish grin, his eyes sparkling with the energy that has propelled him through a bustling six months. "I've been in three films back to back," he continues, recounting his dynamic journey since March. The actor's journey unfolded like a tapestry, with each thread representing a different cinematic endeavour. "Putul," he mentions a film that swept him into its narrative embrace throughout March and April. Followed by "Let There Be Love," a project that captivated him throughout May and June. And then there was "Ahutti," a venture that spanned from June to July, inviting him into another realm of storytelling. And then, the much-needed interlude - a holiday that rejuvenated his spirit and encapsulated the essence of family. "That brings us to seven months of the year, more than half the year. And raring to go for the next five months, looking forward to the next five months," Kohli asserts, his enthusiasm palpable. Speaking of cinematic ventures, Kohli's eyes light up as he delves into the intriguing world of "Blind." "It was a film released on Jio Cinema last month," he begins, recounting his role in the narrative alongside Sonam Kapoor. The film's chilling premise casts him as an evil, serial-killing driver, a role that contrasts starkly with his pleasant demeanour. The journey of filming "Blind" was marked by challenges, notably the lockdown restrictions and the winter cold of Glasgow, where the shooting took place. "A lot of the shooting of Blind was done in the dark at night," Kohli shares, his voice tinged with reminiscence of the intense experience. "When you see the film, you'll realise it was freezing conditions." But amidst the challenges, camaraderie blossomed among the small crew, creating an atmosphere of creativity and connection that kept spirits high. As the conversation steers toward his love for travel, Kohli's eyes light up like a child's Christmas morning. "Yes, of course, I love to travel. Who doesn't love to travel?" he exclaims. But the seasoned traveller has found himself favouring road and train journeys overflights, citing the exhausting ordeal of airports. "I wish someone could come up with an easier experience of airports," he muses, echoing a sentiment shared by many. For Kohli, travel is an avenue for self-discovery, a means to unearth uncharted facets of oneself. "I love seeing new places. I love discovering new parts about myself in these new places," he declares, an explorer at heart. A seasoned globetrotter, Kohli eagerly unveils the top contenders on his bucket list. Having recently ticked off Norway and Scandinavia from the list, he now sets his sights on South America, with Brazil, in particular, capturing his imagination. "Brazil is the next one to check off," he shares, his eyes glittering with the anticipation of new horizons. Peering into the future, Kohli opens up about upcoming releases and his plans for the months ahead. With a handful of releases on the horizon, he takes a step back to embrace family and recharge before diving back into cinema. Speaking of his journey in the industry, Kohli acknowledges the ebb and flow that characterises any creative endeavour. "The industry is always welcoming to anyone who has a reasonable success rate," he reflects. "But yes, to me, it has been very welcoming. It's been very open and loving for the last 25 years." A topic that couldn't be overlooked is Kohli's signature salt-and-pepper look, which he wears with authority and pride. "The salt-and-pepper look gives me some age," he chuckles, reflecting on the visual impact of his facial hair. He shares style advice and underscores the importance of comfort and authenticity in one's appearance. "Any style starts from knowing what makes you feel comfortable and wearing that proud," he advises, reminding us that confidence is the heart of true style. As our conversation with Purab Kohli draws to a close, we're left with a glimpse into the life of a man who thrives on exploration, creativity, and authenticity. His journey through the cinematic landscape mirrors the path of life itself - one marked by challenges, camaraderie, and a ceaseless pursuit of new horizons. And just as he leaves his mark on the silver screen, his insights into travel, style, and self-discovery leave an indelible impression on our hearts and minds.

By Ananya Patankar By Ananya Patankar Say Goodbye To Hair Fall, Dandruff & Oily Skin: Wishcare’s Power Trio Now On Nykaa 25 July 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Three targeted formulas, one trusted brand. From scalp to skin, WishCare delivers clean, effective care, now exclusively on Nykaa . Get to the root of your beauty woes with WishCare’s three must-haves on Nykaa—whether it’s persistent hair fall, pesky dandruff, or oily skin that never settles, these power-packed formulas deliver visible results, fast. When it comes to personal care, one size rarely fits all. That’s why WishCare, known for its ingredient-led, solution-focused formulas, has launched three high-performance essentials on Nykaa that are tailor-made for your most stubborn skin and scalp concerns. From fighting chronic hair fall to banishing dandruff and balancing oily skin under the sun, these products deliver serious results backed by clean formulations and glowing reviews. Let’s start at the top, your scalp. If your hairbrush is starting to look like a thatched roof, this gentle yet effective shampoo could be the intervention you need. Powered by a potent blend of rice water, multi-peptides, rosemary, and caffeine, this shampoo is a scalp-friendly, sulfate-free solution that strengthens hair from the roots while promoting growth and reducing breakage. Its lightweight formula produces a rich lather without drying out your scalp, making it ideal for oily to combination scalps. What users love? “My hair feels stronger after just a week,” says one reviewer. Others swear by its mild fragrance and how it helps reduce both dandruff and hair fall. At just ₹495, this is the kind of everyday essential your shower shelf deserves. Furthermore, when it comes to flakes and itchiness it’s more than just an inconvenience, they can tank your confidence. WishCare’s dandruff-control shampoo tackles the issue from the roots with AHA and BHA, two exfoliants that gently lift away buildup and dead skin while maintaining your scalp’s moisture balance. Unlike harsh anti-dandruff shampoos, this one hydrates as it exfoliates, keeping sensitivity at bay and restoring scalp health with regular use. It’s especially ideal for those who suffer from recurring dandruff but hate the drying effects of typical formulas. Bonus points for being vegan, cruelty-free, and sulfate-free, proving that gentle doesn’t mean ineffective. And once your scalp feels balanced and refreshed, it's time to turn your attention to your skin, because WishCare’s expertise doesn’t just stop at hair. Which brings us to WishCare’s sunscreen which isn’t just sun protection, it’s skincare. Infused with 5% niacinamide, Zinc PCA, ceramides, CICA, and oat extract, this fluid SPF offers a weightless, non-greasy, and completely white-cast-free experience. It sinks into oily and acne-prone skin like a dream, mattifying instantly while improving your skin barrier over time. It’s rare to find a sunscreen that plays well under makeup, doesn’t clog pores, and still provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection, but this one checks all those boxes. Reviewers rave about how it “feels like skincare” and how it’s helped calm breakouts while keeping skin shine-free all day. What is astonishing is that all these three products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from sulfates and parabens, proving that clean beauty can be powerful too. With each priced at an affordable ₹495 and backed by Nykaa’s trusted platform, you don’t have to compromise on results, ethics, or price. Whether you're looking to stop hairfall in its tracks, clear out stubborn dandruff, or finally find a sunscreen that doesn’t make you greasy, WishCare’s power trio on Nykaa is your shortcut to visible, lasting results.

Join Shruti Yogi On Her Enchanting Journey From Kumkum Bhagya To Wanderlust Saga by Akshra Khandelwal Join Shruti Yogi On Her Enchanting Journey From Kumkum Bhagya To Wanderlust Saga 26 August 2023 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In a world brimming with talent and creativity, Shruti Yogi has emerged as a multifaceted influencer who has successfully etched her name onto the canvas of social media. As I sat down with her for an exclusive interview, her radiant smile and infectious enthusiasm set the tone for a conversation that delved into her journey from acting to influencing, her passion for travel, and the essence of her digital evolution. "Life is treating me well, personally and in terms of work," she shared as we began our conversation. A statement that echoed not just in her words but also in her vibrant demeanour. As an influencer who has managed to strike the perfect balance between personal and professional spheres, it was evident that Shruti's journey was marked by intention and dedication. With a sparkle in her eyes, she revealed her upcoming travel destination – a place lingering in her dreams for far too long. "Iceland," she exclaimed, her excitement palpable. After years of yearning, she was finally set to embark on an Icelandic adventure come October. Her face lit up as she spoke about the ethereal landscapes she was eager to explore and the thrill of experiencing the land of fire and ice. However, her journey to the world of influencers was paved with a different kind of spotlight – the television screen. "I started my journey as an actor in 2015," she reminisced. With roles in TV shows like "Kumkum Bhagya," "Ishq Me Mar Jawan," and cameo appearances in "Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi," she had already made her presence felt in the entertainment world. But it was in 2019 that she decided to expand her horizons and step into social media. "I started posting pics and videos for my audience, which was following me because of my TV shows," she explained. Little did she know that this step would lead to collaborations with renowned brands and even earn her the prestigious "Wander with Luxury" award by the esteemed "Scy Awards." "A most memorable day," she recalled with a smile, the recognition a testament to her dedication and hard work. Content creators often find their niche through experimentation in the ever-evolving social media landscape. Shruti's journey was no different. She began by sharing content related to acting and fashion, slowly shaping her platform into a reflection of her passions. "I found my niche: fashion, travel, and lifestyle," she shared. Her evolution into a creator who crafts captivating fashion and travel videos was a testament to her commitment to personal growth. Photography and videography had become integral parts of her creative arsenal, allowing her to weave narratives that resonated deeply with her audience. As our conversation flowed, I couldn't resist asking about the three things that held an irreplaceable spot in her life. She chuckled, her response reflecting her authenticity. "I can't live without working – without having a goal," she admitted. The fire within her to keep pushing herself was evident. Her love for travel followed closely, a passion she nourished by ensuring a getaway every few months. "It's keeping me sane in this busy life," she mused. And then, there was coffee – a source of unparalleled excitement. Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she shared her fondness for that energising brew. In the realm of travel, memorable moments often turn into cherished stories. Shruti had her fair share; one stood out vividly – a trip to Croatia with her husband. Amidst the country's breathtaking beauty, an unexpected twist unfolded as her husband fell ill. "He got sick badly for 4.5 days," she recalled, her voice tinged with concern. Yet, what could have been a daunting experience turned into a heartwarming memory. Strangers became friends as the Croatian people extended their care and kindness, leaving an indelible mark on her heart. "I loved Croatia for its beauty and the beauty of Croatian people," she reflected. The story was a testament to the power of human connections forged in adversity. Shruti's advice was simple yet profound for aspiring creators eager to follow in her footsteps. "Be consistent and work hard. Find your niche and stick to that," she advised. But above all, she emphasised the significance of passion. "Love what you do to survive longer," she added. Her journey was a testament to the rewards of perseverance and the joy that stems from pursuing one's true calling. As our interview drew close, I couldn't help but be inspired by Shruti Yogi's unwavering spirit and zest for life. From the glimmering world of television to the captivating realm of social media, she had seamlessly transitioned, leaving a trail of creativity and authenticity in her wake. With Iceland on the horizon and a heart full of dreams, Shruti Yogi reminds us that life's greatest adventures await those who dare to chase them.

Precision In Orbit: Haaland’s Cosmic Collaboration With Breitling By Ananya Patankar Precision In Orbit: Haaland’s Cosmic Collaboration With Breitling 16 August 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Crafted from 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite and infused with the prowess of a record-breaking footballer, the new Erling Haaland Signature Chronomat by Breitling is a tribute to cosmic rarity and elite performance. Fusing celestial rarity with mechanical precision, the Erling Haaland Signature Chronomat marks a new pinnacle for Breitling, where sport meets stardust in a collaboration that redefines luxury timekeeping. Breitling’s latest drop isn’t just a new watch, it’s a cosmic collision of legacy, craftsmanship, and raw sporting power. The Erling Haaland Signature Chronomat collection , unveiled in July 2025, sees the iconic Swiss watchmaker partner with football’s unstoppable force, Erling Haaland , to deliver a pair of timepieces that are equal parts mechanical masterpiece and personal memoir. At the heart of each watch lies a dial cut from the Muonionalusta meteorite, an extraterrestrial relic older than Earth itself. This 4.5-billion-year-old iron-nickel meteorite, with its unique Widmanstätten patterns formed in the cold vacuum of space, ensures that each watch is one of a kind. The dials are not manufactured, they’re unearthed. That level of rarity sets the tone for the entire collection. The range includes two limited-edition references. First, the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, crafted in stainless steel with a platinum bezel, is limited to 500 pieces and features a red-gold GMT hand, Haaland’s initials on the central seconds hand, and a caseback engraved with “ONE OF 500” and “ERLING HAALAND 9”. Then there’s the Chronomat B01 42, in full 18k red gold, limited to just 250 units, boasting a 70-hour power reserve via the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 and a sapphire crystal caseback. But the crown jewel? A “One of 5” edition made exclusively for Haaland and his closest circle, crafted in red gold with a transparent caseback, his name, number, and signature celebration pose engraved. It’s a private homage to a player who isn’t just making history, he’s rewriting it. More than a watch, the Haaland Signature Chronomat is a symbol of excellence forged in fire and finished in finesse. It reflects Breitling ’s enduring mission: blending timeless horology with bold modernity and sustainability. And in Haaland, they’ve found a partner who embodies it all, power, precision, and performance that’s out of this world.
