The Icon of Minimalistic Fashion by Aparajita Jaiswal The Icon of Minimalistic Fashion 16 July 2021 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement From a mediocre hat designer to one of the prime influences on American Fashion, Halston emerged as one of the greatest illustrators of minimalism and luxurious fashion. As halter necks still tend to be one of the greatest trends in fashion today, one shall go back to the 1970s when Halston gave the halter neck an upgrade with his luxurious touch. Surrounded with silk tranquillity, his halter dress which he designed for his closest one, Liza Minnelli gained immense amount of recognition. It was simple, classic, sophisticated in every way with a hint of luxury. In the most momentous fashion shows in the history of American Fashion, The Battle of Versailles, his victory marked the birth of an icon with his magic and gained gigantic fame. He was also notable for the diversity of race and culture in his models which represented his art. His work and closed affiliation with some of the renowned faces like Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger brought him more recognition. Halston created a water-proof trench coat, expanding his brand across the country. As much as he liked to party at the Studio 54, he gave birth to Disco-Dressing and entered the world of shimmer in the form glitzy glam and sequined outfits. But nothing took take place of the glamour of the Halter, which was popularized across America. His appeal of sophisticated fashion comes from the fantastic choice of materials he used for his designs. From cashmere silk to shimmering satin, Halston had it all. The brand logo itself expressed Halston’s love for minimalism. If one watched the Netflix documentary “ Halston”, they could notice how he surrounded himself with minimalism, through his choice of dark colours in his house and his office furnished with red walls and glass. His day to day black outfits with long coats of mostly beige, expressed his monochromatic lifestyle. Growing a brand by creating vast varieties of products and lines can be very challenging, but Halston loved challenges. Beginning with dresses refining classy appeal, he introduced his monochromatic taste through a line of luxurious luggage, red carpets, aviators, bath robes, and what not. Eventually, He ended up selling his brand and his name to Norton Simon Inc. For which he was offered approximately 11 million dollars. He became the Creative Director of the brand he founded. Side by side, Halston became an addict of cocaine consumption because of his regular visit to Studio 54. He also faced relationship crisis the same time his business was steeply moving towards decline. A dialogue of Halston (Ewan McGregor) from the Netflix documentary, – “ I must be a real artist because I am a terrible businessman” – touches ones heart. Money brings fame, but it can also take away everything. Halston spent his last days driving to San Francisco, soon after he was tested positive for AIDS related lung cancer. After two years in Francisco, the world lost an iconic designer in March 1990.

Sunspel & Its Legacy: The Fashion Code For Today By Anushka Uniyal Sunspel & Its Legacy: The Fashion Code For Today 17 February 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Can A Polo Shirt Be Iconic? Sunspel certainly thinks so. In a world where fast fashion is all about loud logos, neon colours and viral micro-trends, there’s something absolutely refreshing about a brand that keeps it simple and effortlessly cool. That’s where Sunspel comes in! No gimmicks and no over-the-top branding. Just timeless pieces that make you look and feel your best! From timeless T-shirts to classic polos and luxurious knitwear, whatever your style, Sunspel has it all! If you’re on a mission to find the perfect white tee or a polo that oozes charm, you’re at the right place. Because this summer is all about embracing the nostalgia of a classic polo that never runs out of style, and nobody does it better than Sunspel! A Brand With A Story You’d be surprised to know that Sunspel’s story goes all the way back to 1860 in Nottingham, England, way before luxury essentials were a market concept! It all began when company founder Thomas Hill opened his hosiery and underwear factory in Newdigate. With a vision to create quality products, the textile expert went on to develop garments that sat on skin like silk. His son, Thomas A. Hill, took things up a notch by introducing Caribbean Sea Island cotton, one of the world’s rarest and finest cotton you could lay your eyes on! This fabric of gold soon became the brand’s hallmark. Fast forward to 160 years of earned reputation, the brand has expanded far beyond intimates but the commitment to quality hasn’t budged. The result? Basics that feel like anything “but” basic. The fit? Sharp, polished, but never overdone. All About That James Bond Swagger Sunspel finally got its big screen moment in 2006, when Daniel Craig slipped into its iconic Riviera Polo in Casino Royale and just like that, the sleek, slim-cut polo became a holy grail for Bond fans, fashion minimalists or basically anyone who wanted to look mysteriously cool without trying too hard. Raul Verdicchi, CEO at Sunspel, stated: “We've seen a significant increase in polo shirt sales in general, with the style growing over 30 per cent overall year-on-year and sales of the ‘Riviera’ growing by over 50 per cent." Want to look like James Bond? You know where to go. Sunspel’s connection to Bond goes beyond just one film, it ties back to Ian Fleming himself. With his sharp eye for quality and love for fine craftsmanship, Fleming made sure Bond’s style was always effortlessly refined, just like Sunspel. For them, clothing isn’t just about fashion; it’s about embracing a lifestyle. More Than Style: An Ode To Sustainability Here's the thing—Sunspel isn’t just about looking good. It’s about doing good, too. Having survived two world wars, the brand takes sustainability very seriously. From sourcing 100% organic cotton and RWS-certified wool and adopting eco-friendly dying processes, Sunspel is all about ethical manufacturing without compromising on top-tier quality. Their motto? Work with nature, not against it. In 2023, Sunspel released a sustainability report emphasizing two core principles: High-quality products aren’t just about materials—they’re about impact. Sunspel ensures that everything they make has a positive footprint on both the planet and the people involved in its creation. Transparency is key. Sunspel has maintained strict control over its supply chain since 1860, ensuring that every step, from fibre to final stitch, aligns with its values of ethical craftsmanship. At Sunspel, sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a tradition. Why Sunspel Is Built To Last Fashion is moving fast, but Sunspel proves that slow and steady wins the race! If you are looking to invest in statement value pieces, you know your stop. So, whether you’re channelling your inner James Bond or just tired of trend-chasing, Sunspel might just be your new fashion code. And trust us, once you slip into one of their pieces, there’s no going back!

Into The Enticing and Harmful World of Fast Fashion by Rupashree Ravi Into The Enticing and Harmful World of Fast Fashion 13 August 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement What comes to your mind when someone says trendy, fashionable, and affordable? Of course, big brands like H&M, Zara, Forever 21, and Shein, which are widely popular and are known for their cheap and fashionable clothing. These are clothing giants that entice their loyal customer base with sales and exciting offers, and you cannot say no to them. But the cost of making these clothes comes at a heavy price. These brands are the biggest players in the fashion industry and are also among the most damaging industries for the environment. They are fast fashion retailers who bring out large quantities of a variety of products and allow consumers to get more fashion and product differentiation at a very low price. Stores like Zara, Forever 21 and H&M are the pioneers of fast fashion in the 21st century ‘Fast fashion’ is cheaply manufactured and low priced garments that copy the latest catwalk styles and get quick entry into retail stores in order to maximise on the current fashion trends. It is called the fast fashion model because it involves rapid design, mass production, and distribution as well as heavy marketing. Today, it takes less than fifteen days for a garment to move from the design stage to being sold physically in stores. The term has gained more prominence in recent times and is often used in conversations revolving around environmental consciousness as well as sustainability. This is extremely worrisome because the fashion industry, especially since the rise of fast fashion, has become the second largest consumer of water and is responsible for 10 per cent of carbon emissions and 20 per cent of wastewater globally. It also dries up water sources and pollutes waterways. This is because these fast fashion retailers use about 700 gallons of water to make one cotton shirt and about 2,000 gallons to make one pair of jeans. Moreover, the textile dyes that they use contribute to polluting these waterways as the chemicals leak into the water, which also poses health risks to the general population. Fast fashion has been growing at an unsustainable rate These brands also use synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon and acrylic which take several years to biodegrade. The fast fashion model is also an energy-intensive process. Even cotton is not an environment-friendly fabric to manufacture for fast fashion companies as they are exposed to a number of pesticides that are very harmful. So, what’s the solution? The alternative to fast fashion is sustainable fashion or eco-fashion. To counter the environmental damage caused by fast fashion, sustainable fabrics like wild silk, organic cotton, hemp, linen, and lyocell can be used in a responsible manner. We can certainly choose to shop in a more sustainable way, but getting involved with sustainable fashion does not necessarily require buying anything new. Sustainable fashion aims to be conscious and ethical Sustainable fashion brands like Brogger, Insom, Ka-Sha focus on bringing out cruelty-free products. They use fewer resources wherever possible to reduce impact and conserve water by using organic mills and ozone technology in its production to benefit people, plants, and animals. Some of these brands also give away their profits to charitable causes. Even vegan leather has become very popular in recent times. Local Indie fashion brands are becoming popular It is essential that we as consumers stop buying from these fast fashion companies and instead choose locally produced garments. Try opting for local Indian brands like Udd Stories or Anokhi that are made by indigenous communities. #FastFashion #SustainableFashion #EcoFashion #VocalForLocal #OOTD 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 Manish Malhotra Unfolds A Couture Finale At Dubai Fashion Week 11 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus 9 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Day Four At Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27 Was About Designers Owning Their Voice 8 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27, Day Three: Seen Through The Clothes 6 February 2026 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

By Anushka Sharma By Anushka Sharma This Is What Will Happen If You Stop Using All Skincare Products For Three Months 25 June 2024 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Well, to say the least, your skin will literally clear up like never before. Let’s talk about a case study and refer to that person as “X”, as “X” does not wish to disclose her real identity. X has been travelling the world as a digital nomad throughout her life, and definitely suffered from the adverse effects that travelling has on one’s skin. With a combination skin type, X was trying her level best to come up with a solution that would help her combat her skincare troubles. If you don’t know this already, combination skin type is one of the most common skin types around; It is signified as dry and sensitive in some areas such as one’s cheeks, and oily in others such as one’s T-zone. So, X starts on a journey of skincare which involved involved a twice-daily (morning & evening) face wash, followed by toner, hydrating face cream, and eye cream. She also included an exfoliating face wash once or two times a week. X didn’t want to exactly disclose the names of the brands, because the problem wasn’t in the brands, the problem was in the fact that the world told X to lather her skin with useless products. What happened after that? Well, nothing positive. Until no time, X started breaking out into little red bumps and developing high sensitivity around the cheek-region. It resulted in her skin being itchy, irritable, and inflamed. After a while, X realised that there was no point in using so many products on her skin which was already on a downgrade. Hence, she chose to blindly follow her father’s advice and eliminated every skincare product from her skincare routine. So, what was the new routine like? This routine was something that X would’ve never thought of adhering to in her wildest dreams. However, in this new routine, X chose to eliminate all the products and just keep the basics in hand. She ensured to wash her face every morning/evening with a damp warm towel (no products at all), and made it a point to use a natural lip balm for her lips, sunscreen during the day, and treated her skin to natural face masks on Sunday (All you need to do is literally spread aloe vera, yogurt or honey on your face.) What happened with this routine was BEYOND ORDINARY. For the first two days, X experienced inflammation where the cheek area got a tad irritated. After all, the skin was so fatigued. After two good days, the skin calmed down and continued to get calmer and calmer. Within ten days, X could notice that her skin had visibly calmed down and it looked significantly relaxed. The spots weren’t very prominent and the itchiness and sensitivity had faded. Within thirty days, X’s skin had adjusted to her new skin and saw pretty good results. Almost everything had faded and she was left with clear, almost supple, baby-like skin. This article isn’t written to make you hate lab-formulated products. However, it’s always ideal to look out for natural ingredients that are extracted from the goodness of the Earth. The usage of so many products definitely exposes our skin to a whole lot of chemicals and strips it off its essential oils. Why on earth would we ever want that for our skin?

Repeating clothes isn't a faux pas anymore by Aishwarya Repeating clothes isn't a faux pas anymore 5 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Fashion is an integral part of our personality. We constantly take inspiration from social media and celebrities. Though we get to know the fashion trends from them, we also get the notion that we have to wear a new piece of clothing every single time. Moreso, the people who have a presence on social media get influenced by celebrities and fashion influencers. It’s almost a nightmare for social media influencers, to repeat their clothes. Even we expect them to wear new clothes every single time, which is neither possible nor viable. The celebrities we look up to are the ones who get their dresses sourced from various mediums. For a common man like us, it’s not a viable option to opt for. Repeating clothes have been made up into a controversy that, we now need to normalize it. Repeating clothes is one of the best decisions you can take because it has a lot of benefits. You don’t have to be a sustainability influencer, to promote repeating the clothes. It is a very basic thing that we all have been doing, now even celebrities are opening up about it. Many celebrities are seen repeating their clothes and owning them with confidence and grace. Now, let us see the 3 reasons why you should also repeat your clothes. SUSTAINABILITY : According to research, we almost generate 92 million tonnes of waste every year. This number is not surprising because that’s what happens when we are expected to wear new clothes every single time we step out of our house. By simply repeating your clothes, you can reduce textile wastage and carbon footprint. It is to be noted that the clothing industry generates 10% of all global carbon emissions and, it is the second biggest industrial polluter. The fast fashion culture has given rise to carbon emissions. The fashion industry has gained its profit through fast fashion, but our environment is paying for it. Fashion is all about you and, your confidence is what makes it fashionable and not the attires. DECISION FATIGUE : Do you remember the co-founder and CEO of Facebook, wearing that grey t-shirt? Well, it has become a uniform for Mark Zuckerberg. However, most billionaires wear the same set of clothing and, it has a reason for it. They are well aware of a phenomenon called decision fatigue- a fatigue that deteriorates the quality of the decision taken by human beings. Our brain requires a lot of energy for making a decision and, that is the reason why most billionaires prefer to wear the same clothes. By doing so, they reduce one more event of decision-making. It is very important for them, to manage their decision-making energy and focus on the more important ones. SAVE MONEY : We all spend so much of our income on buying new clothes. Rather we could save money by thrifting or borrowing the clothes that are mostly a one-time fashion. The dresses for weddings are expensive and one-time fashion, these can be borrowed, thrifted or, reused with different accessories. We can reuse many of our clothes by just accessorizing them differently. These tweaks will make you look put together and also save some penny for the end of the month. Repeating your clothes can be done without the fear of missing out. Fashion is to make us feel happy and confident and, even a wardrobe of 20 clothes will do it for you. Create your fashion and, be one. Create your fashion and, be one. #sustainability #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #fashion #sustainableclothing 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 Manish Malhotra Unfolds A Couture Finale At Dubai Fashion Week 11 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus 9 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Day Four At Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27 Was About Designers Owning Their Voice 8 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27, Day Three: Seen Through The Clothes 6 February 2026 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

Dubai Fashion Week Day 2 - Fashion, Storytelling And Everything In Between By Aarti Singh Dubai Fashion Week Day 2 - Fashion, Storytelling And Everything In Between 14 February 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Fashion is and has always been about so much more than mere clothes- it is about expression, storytelling, statements, romance and beyond. And it would only make sense when the biggest fashion affairs channelise this. When immaculate craftsmanship is paired with depth and meaning, that is what goes down in the book of posterity, and you and I are the witnesses! The Dubai Fashion Week Autumn/ Winter 25-26 commenced with a glamorous gravitas, and the glitz and glam only grew further. On February 3rd, 2025, Dubai Fashion Week brought together the newer and emerging designers and the internationally known and acclaimed designers to share the same stage. Or ramp, in this case, setting a tone of global togetherness. NIF Global Launches The Day With A Sustainable Initiative Along with the divine and poetic displays by Paolo Sebastian , Weinsanto and Aintoinne Kareh , there was a hint of modernity served by a collaborative effort between the New York Institute of Fashion and the London School of Trends. This modernity, combined with thoughtfulness and awareness, paved the way for their showcase titled “Launchpad”. The showcase stood witness to young NIF Global designers representing India’s diverse cultural landscapes. The partnership was an array of innovative collections that presented a wonderful seamless fusion of luxury and sustainability. It was led by a 40-piece collection that redefined heritage craftsmanship like handwoven textiles and exquisite embroidery accompanied by more modern silhouettes for a more global audience. It was a play on sustainability by indulging eco-friendly fabrics with intricate craftsmanship and trend-forward designs. Paolo Sebastian Puts Australia On The Mark Hosting its first Australian designer ever, Dubai Fashion Week welcomed Paolo Sebastian with a showcase of a scenic blend between romance and contemporary elegance, paired with dreamy silhouettes, ethereal illusion tulle and fairytale-inspired designs that left the spectators in awe. It beautifully presented the essence of the designer’s signature style as it was a mirror to the flawless blend of tradition and modern innovation, transporting everyone in the audience to a world of fantasy. Weinsanto Brings Parisian Romance To Dubai Runway Bringing the French Parisian charm to the stage, DFW member Victor Weinsanto enraptured the spectators with his “Cauchemar in the Kitchen” collection, integrating the Georges kitchen theme into his designs. Weinsanto blended his signature style with modern Parisian suaveness. He drew inspiration from the venerated motifs of the world-famous Maxim restaurant, the collection showcased his jubilant print, a refined colour palette, with convoluted Nouveau-inspired embroidery. The entire showcase was a direct portrayal of the designer’s craft and creativity, mingled with art and storytelling. Antoinne Kareh Executes Visual Poetry “The Guardian Shadow” by Antoinne Kareh combined fashion with poetry to deliver an artfully explored showcase based on the interplay between light and darkness. The designer drew inspiration from the conceptuality of how shadow accompanies every individual and watches over them like Guardian Angels. The showcase depicted how shadows are pivotal for defining form, depth and dimensions. Kareh brought a sense of altruistic realism and vivacity to the pieces by adding fluid, flowy silhouettes and contrasts throughout the pieces. Velvety Couture’s Homage To Zaha Hadid’s Legacy The day was concluded with Velvety Couture ’s collection, which was inspired by Zaha Hadid’s Heydar Aliyev Center. The showcase aimed to unveil the blend between architecture and fashion, translating fluid curves with dynamic designs. The abundance of elegance can be seen with fabrics like chiffon, taffeta and velvet in white, black, grey and silver palettes to give it that richness and depth. All the designers presented an amalgamation of fashion with romance, poetry and depth- which is also what we are mostly made of. That is exactly why fairytales appeal to us: we look for romance, and what better place to find it than in the very expression of self? The second day came to an exuberant finish, but the showcase of fashion is anything but halted because with lineups like such, all one does is wait for the next day!

Embracing Beauty: An Inspiring Journey Of Art With The Makeup Influencer “Kannikka Ahuja” by Akshra Khandelwal Embracing Beauty: An Inspiring Journey Of Art With The Makeup Influencer “Kannikka Ahuja” 27 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In a world where makeup artistry and beauty influencers reign supreme, some individuals have mastered the art and dedicated themselves to sharing their passion with others. Among them stands Kannikka Ahuja, a charismatic and talented makeup influencer whose journey of self-discovery and relentless pursuit of her dreams has touched the lives of countless individuals. In an exclusive interview with us, Kannikka Ahuja shares her experiences, challenges, and aspirations as she navigates the world of beauty and self-expression. "I'm doing very well. Thank you so much for asking. I've absolutely loved the work I and my team are doing. We're switching up our content, and it's been so much fun. On the personal front, things are finally getting better, and I'd love to talk more about it once it's all settled," Kannikka shares with a smile, embodying the strength and resilience that have defined her journey. Her path into the world of makeup influencing was far from conventional. As a child, Kannikka admits she was tomboyish and had little knowledge of makeup. However, as a teenager, something within her changed, and she deeply desired to learn the art of makeup. Embarking on this path of self-discovery, Kannikka started with self-makeup courses from skilled makeup artists in Delhi. But a pivotal moment after her separation propelled her to take a leap of faith and pursue her passion professionally. Kannikka flew to New York City to train at the prestigious Makeup Designory (MUD), setting the stage for her remarkable journey. The true inspiration for Kannikka's foray into the world of makeup influencing came when she met a bride during her freelancing days. The bride's grandmother, impressed with Kannikka's work, remarked humorously that she couldn't see all those layers of makeup that Kannikka was charging for. This lighthearted exchange sparked an idea in Kannikka's mind – to share her passion for makeup on the internet and teach others the art she had come to love. Thus, the transformation of Kannikka Ahuja into a beauty content creator and influencer began. "The moment someone from my online family messages me or comments on my posts that my videos and story tutorials have helped them learn makeup or debunked some makeup/skincare myths for them is when I feel the happiest about being a makeup influencer or, as I like to call it, a beauty content creator," Kannikka shares enthusiastically. Her joy lies not only in her creative expression but also in her positive impact on her audience. However, being a makeup influencer comes with its own set of challenges. One of the significant hurdles that Kannikka and other content creators face is the ever-changing algorithm of social media platforms. The constant influx of new launches, trends, and viral products can be overwhelming, leading to a desire to accumulate more than necessary – a pitfall she warns against as it can become a toxic habit. Kannikka shares some of her top makeup tips and hacks to offer her readers valuable insights. She emphasises the importance of skin preparation before makeup application to achieve a flawless finish. Waiting a minute between different skincare layers ensures optimal product absorption and prevents makeup from appearing patchy or pilling. These fundamental tips form the foundation of any successful makeup routine. For those looking to establish a skincare or makeup routine, Kannikka provides her priority recommendations. She advises beginners to include a gentle cleanser, a Hyaluronic Acid serum to be applied on damp skin, a suitable moisturiser based on their skin type, and most importantly, SPF for daytime protection. In the realm of makeup, she suggests investing in essential products like concealer, cream blush, loose powder, kohl pencil, mascara, and creamy matte nude lipstick, all of which contribute to a versatile and polished look. And, of course, a brow pencil, as brows can make or break the overall appearance. As someone who continues to draw inspiration from her peers, Kannikka shares that international makeup artists and influencers like Tati Westbrook, Nikkie Tutorials, and Rose Siard have played an influential role in her journey. Additionally, she expresses gratitude for Indian beauty creators like Shreya Jain, Malvika Sitlani, and Srishti Bhatia, who have inspired her growth and evolution in the field. Looking towards the future, Kannikka has grand aspirations. "The biggest goal that I have for myself is to represent India globally; I'm manifesting it through this interview. I want to evolve the way India does makeup and sees beauty. And lastly, I want to make my parents proud of my achievements and success while being extremely down-to-earth and humble since that matters the most!" she declares with determination. As our conversation with Kannikka Ahuja comes to a close, we are left inspired by her journey of self-discovery, resilience, and unwavering passion for makeup. Her success as a makeup influencer and beauty content creator stems from her exceptional skills and her genuine desire to empower and uplift others in their own beauty journeys. Kannikka's story is a testament to the transformative power of following one's heart and embracing the beauty within and around us.

The Unfiltered Journey Of Chandni Solanki: From Teen Dreamer To Storytelling Icon By Sakshi Batra The Unfiltered Journey Of Chandni Solanki: From Teen Dreamer To Storytelling Icon 12 February 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Mumbai’s Girl With Big Dreams In the bustling city of Mumbai, where dreams often get lost in the chaos, Chandni Solanki carved her own path. A lover of books, cozy café corners, and solo travel, Chandni’s story started as an ordinary one. But there was nothing ordinary about her dreams. What began as a teenage experiment with TikTok at the age of 15 turned into a career that would not only shape her life but inspire countless others. “I started making videos just for fun,” she shares. “I never thought it would become a full-time job, let alone a part of my identity. From casual entertainment to becoming a recognized influencer in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle, Chandni’s journey proves that dreams pursued with passion have the power to shatter every expectation. The Power Of Determination Not all roads to success are smooth, and Chandni’s path was no exception. Like many young dreamers, she faced resistance from her family. “My parents wanted me to focus on studies and pick a stable career,” she recalls. But Chandni’s determination was unshakeable. “I’ve always been a stubborn kid. I knew what I wanted, and I wasn’t going to give up on it.” That stubbornness became her superpower, helping her navigate the unpredictable and ever-changing world of content creation. But even now, despite her success, she keeps her feet firmly on the ground. “I don’t think I’ve made it yet,” Chandni says. “There’s still so much I want to achieve, so much potential I need to showcase.” The Reality Of Influencing: Beyond Glam And Glitter Life as an influencer is often romanticized, but Chandni isn’t afraid to share the truth. “It’s not just about pretty pictures and trending reels. There’s a curveball every single day,” she says. From staying relevant to creating meaningful content, the hustle is real. What sets her apart is her authenticity. Chandni’s content reflects her everyday life, simple yet impactful. She mixes beauty, skincare, and fashion tips with her own experiences, offering advice that’s both practical and relatable. “Skincare is about basics: eat lots of fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and take care of yourself,” she says. As for fashion? “It’s all about mood. Some days, I’m all black and white—classic and chic. Other days, I want bold, vibrant colors. Fashion is about expressing who you are in the moment.” The Bookworm Behind The Screen What makes Chandni truly unique is her love for literature and storytelling. While many influencers focus solely on aesthetics, Chandni finds inspiration in books and authors who resonate with her deeply. Currently, she’s reading The Forest of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. “It’s such a beautiful retelling of the Ramayana, told from Sita’s perspective. It portrays her as a strong, independent woman, and I can’t stop thinking about it,” she shares. Another author who inspires her is Sally Rooney, known for her simple yet captivating narratives. “Her storytelling is raw and relatable,” Chandni says. “It reminds me that sometimes, simplicity can make the deepest impact.” Her love for writing started when she was young, scribbling poems and love stories in school, but now, she dreams of weaving her passion for storytelling into her content. “I want to create narratives that connect with people on a personal level. Stories are what make us human, and I want to tell mine in the most meaningful way.” Changing Perceptions And Shaping The Future Despite her polished Instagram profile and growing influence, Chandni wants to break the stereotypes people have about her. “A lot of people think I’m just sassy and not grounded, but there’s so much more to me than what you see on the surface,” she says. To change that perception, she’s planning exciting new projects. Chandni dreams of creating an Instagram series and short films with relatable characters and heartfelt dialogues. “I want people to see my work and feel connected like they’re watching a piece of their own lives unfold,” she explains. Her Goal? To combine her love for reading and writing with her visual storytelling, creating content that’s not just entertaining but deeply personal and impactful. The Inspiration Behind The Vision When asked who inspires her, Chandni’s face lights up. “ Komal Pandey ,” she says without hesitation. “She’s a true trailblazer in the industry. Her boldness, creativity, and authenticity inspire me to keep pushing boundaries.” Like her idol, Chandni wants to leave a lasting impact. “I want to create a legacy that goes beyond Instagram, a brand that’s authentic, relatable, and inspiring.” A Star In The Making Chandni Solanki’s journey is more than just a success story; it’s a testament to resilience, creativity, and staying true to yourself. From a teenager experimenting with TikTok to a rising digital storyteller, Chandni is rewriting the rulebook on what it means to be an influencer. As she continues to grow and evolve, one thing is clear: Chandni isn’t just here to post pretty pictures; she’s here to tell stories, spark conversations, and inspire change. “I’m not done yet,” Chandni says, her eyes sparkling with ambition. “This is just the beginning, and the best is yet to come.” 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 Manish Malhotra Unfolds A Couture Finale At Dubai Fashion Week 11 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah At Dubai Fashion Week, Day Five Unfolded — Krésha Bajaj In Focus 9 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Day Four At Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27 Was About Designers Owning Their Voice 8 February 2026 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Dubai Fashion Week AW 26-27, Day Three: Seen Through The Clothes 6 February 2026 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

Born in Siberia and moved to Moscow in her childhood, Liza 's story is one of perseverance and ambition, navigating through different careers and countries to achieve her dreams. From Law to Journalism: A Journey of Dreams Liza 's journey to becoming a TV host began in Moscow, where she was raised. Despite her early aspirations to be a TV host, financial constraints forced her to pursue a degree in law. "When I was young, I had no money for this type of education and for this job," Liza shared. She initially worked as a lawyer to support her family, living with her mother. However, her passion for journalism never waned. During her maternity leave, Liza decided to revisit her dream. She pursued a second degree in journalism, paying for her education while balancing her responsibilities as a mother. Her determination paid off, and she transitioned from law to becoming a TV journalist, gaining valuable experience as a blogger along the way. The Power of Professional Education Liza believes in the importance of professional education for aspiring journalists. "I like to be professional. We have to emphasize the knowledge and experience that a diploma will get you," she said. While acknowledging that many successful journalists may not have formal education, Liza values the skills and network she built during her studies. "It's better to be in a society of professionals and to take their experience," she added. To Embracing Dubai: A New Chapter Liza currently resides in Dubai, a city she deeply loves. Having lived there for a year with her husband and two children, she finds the city welcoming and supportive. "Everyone is friendly here. We support each other," she noted. Liza has also built a community of bloggers in Dubai, organising breakfasts and shooting sessions to foster collaboration. Dubai's safety and friendly environment are significant advantages for Liza and her family. She highlighted the high level of safety and the polite, supportive community as key factors in her positive experience. "I don't lock my door, and I can leave my wallet where the cameras are," she mentioned, emphasizing the city's secure environment. On Balancing Work and Passion Beyond her professional pursuits, Liza is an avid sports enthusiast with a background in rhythmic aerobics. She enjoys wake surfing in Dubai and emphasizes the importance of finding a sport one loves. "It's very important to find the kind of sports that you like," she advised. Liza believes in the benefits of consistent physical activity and enjoys both team sports and solo workouts. All About Travelling the World Liza's love for travel has taken her to various destinations, from road trips across Europe to exploring South Asia and beyond. Despite the challenges of travelling with children, she and her husband have embraced the experience. "We have a big experience travelling with kids," she shared, noting the importance of planning and considering their interests. Influencing and Future Plans of Liza’s Life As an influencer in Dubai, Liza collaborates with beauty brands and companies supporting entrepreneurs. She is grateful for the opportunities Dubai offers and plans to expand her social media presence organically. "My blog grows step by step, and I can manage this," she explained.

Looking ahead, Liza hopes to participate in TV shows in Dubai, leveraging her previous experience as a TV host in Russia.
