New York Fashion Week Fall Collection by Akash Khatri New York Fashion Week Fall Collection 1 January 2021 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement New York Fashion Week is one of the “Big 4” fashion weeks in the world and is held semi-annually each year in February and September. This year all the live shows struggled to follow their conventional path due to pandemics, New York fashion week was no exception either and for months fashion designers struggled to cope with the “new normal” but definitely came up with some amazing collection. As pandemic has changed the trend of fashion to some extent and with most of the people working from home, the New York fashion week showcased the basic yet chic versions of the clothing rather than going all hunky-dory and glittery. The main cause taken up by most of the fashion designers was “Sustainable fashion” that would protect our environment and in times of such crisis like we are in 2020, giving attention to the environment and global warming is essential. One off-putting thing that the New York fashion week missed is to witness a few of the famous designers participating in New York fashion week’s fall collection. Although looking at the brighter side, the absence of few famous and well-known designers created room for the new and younger designers to shine through. Few names that won heart in the New York Fashion Week fall collection of 2020 are: Marc Jacobs: He highlighted more of the basics in an old school way. A-line coats and Mini shift dresses were the major highlights from his collection. Marina Moscone: She is known for her minimalistic styling. However, she surprised everyone in the fall collection and came up with some sexy options for the evening, some suits, and even used leopard prints for gowns. Prabal Gurung: He expressed his New York fall collection as a love letter to the city which deeply is fascinated about fashion and colours. He showcased the love for glamour meticulously via suits to gowns to jackets. Khaite: She presented her collection as a tale of two women from two different worlds which blended so perfectly and did not even urge us to choose a side either. Such diligently worked collection. There were far too many talented designers who gave everyone major fashion goals and showed how fashion would probably look like in the coming year. Hope you guys have taken note of how suits, A-line dresses, and animal prints and evening gowns won heart at the fall collection in New York fashion week and would keep your wardrobe updated accordingly.

How To Find And Where To Look For Your Ikigai by Aarti Singh How To Find And Where To Look For Your Ikigai 29 October 2022 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Ikigai (生き甲斐), a Japanese concept which means purpose of living. To put it simply, a reason of being. The cause for which you wake up every morning. Something that gives you direction in life. Something that moves you and gives you a reason to keep trying, keep going on, no matter what. Your purpose needn’t be as huge as World Peace. Infact the one time you should be truly and genuinely selfish is while looking for the purpose of your life. Your purpose should be yours only. It should be special and personal to you. Afterall it’s yours. It’s yours to build, it’s yours to work upon, it’s yours to wake up to, it’s yours to sleep to, it’s yours to dream, it’s yours to achieve. Your purpose, your calling is the one thing in the world that is completely yours and no one else can take it from you. Your reason does not need to make sense to anyone but you. And you know what, it should not. It makes sense to you, and that’s enough because you’re the only one who gets a say in this matter. You might think that the most critical decisions in your lives are maybe your choice of subject, or your partner, or maybe the college you want to go to. But no, the most important decision of your life is whether you really want to find your purpose or whether you want to lead a life without ever knowing your full-potential. Because your full potential can only be unlocked when you’re doing something you love whole heartedly and believe in. Your Ikigai is something so very personal. Just like that diary you made when you were a teenager. Your purpose consists of all your failures, your hardships, your success, your attempts, your good days, your bad days, your self-doubt, everything. But most importantly, it has seen you try even when you were at your lowest and were considering to give up. But you know what the most tiresome part of this process is? It’s not the numerous failures. It’s definitely not the self-doubt. It is the search. The search for you Ikigai. The search for your purpose. Maybe you haven’t found your purposed yet. Or maybe your purpose hasn’t found you yet. But that, my friend, is the beauty of it. That you can go look for it yourself. You can look for it right now if you want. Look for it in the deepest darkest crevices of those nights where nothing seemed to make sense, look for it in the firs ray of sunshine on the mornings which felt like a new start, look for it in the classes that always felt useless, look for it in the clouds which were too stormy and in the silver rays of hope which shone after it, look for it in the daydreams that you’d rather live in and look for it in the nightmare you never wanna relive. Your reason will start as a dream initially. It will seem like something that you have to achieve one day. Sometimes it may also seem like a hazy wish but you have the power to make it your reality because it isn’t something you achieve, no, it is something that you cherish everyday as you wake up. It is not a pedestal, it is something in you, that makes you, you. Your purpose should be yours only. It should be special and personal to you. Afterall it’s yours.

Grace, Grit, And Glory: The Story of Mrs. India Galaxy, Rinima Borah By Sakshi Batra Grace, Grit, And Glory: The Story of Mrs. India Galaxy, Rinima Borah 19 December 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In a world obsessed with outer beauty, the true essence of inner beauty often goes unnoticed. Meet Mrs. Rinima Borah - an entrepreneur, pageant winner & an amalgamation of beauty with brains. Belonging from a town in Assam growing up with limited resources but abundant love, Rinima believed that true wealth lies in empathy, kindness, and determination. From starting her own venture " MISS MOMO ” a brand dedicated to gorgeous ladies from fashion seized 2xs to 5xl celebrating diversity and challenging outdated beauty norms. Rinima mentioned that for her "Business isn't just about making profits; it's about creating positive change.” With her brand she represents her mission to embrace diversity in shape, age and background—a rarity in the industry. She remained committed to prioritising authenticity over popularity. Her leadership style reflects the same values, as she fosters an egalitarian environment within her team and values transparency, making sure everyone’s voice is heard. Her journey isn’t just about achievements; it’s a testament to resilience, kindness, and the power of believing in oneself. Ronnie : Endless love for her little star One of the most beautiful aspects of Rinima’s journey doesn’t only revolve around the pageant or business but she extends her role beautifully as a guardian to her nephew Ronnie, where she sees her inner self. 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. Through the transparency in their bond, she hopes to inspire a kinder and more compassionate generation. Sacrifices of Women Rinima believes that women should never give up on their dreams, even after marriage. Marriage and family are essential sources of love and support, but they shouldn't be the reasons to compromise one's aspirations. “Every woman deserves the opportunity to pursue her passions, grow personally and professionally, and continue to evolve beyond her roles as a wife or mother.” Rinima grew up surrounded by strong, intelligent women who embodied both power and humility. They taught her that true beauty comes from purpose, intellect, and integrity. Overcoming insecurities and learning to embrace her true self has helped her become the confident woman she is today. Her family was over the moon when she decided to be a part of Mrs. India Inc , while her husband's family was initially & had reservations but eventually supported her dream. “Platforms like Mrs. India Pageants are changing perceptions, celebrating real women”. Being a part of Mrs. India Inc and winning title of Mrs. India Galaxy is all about embracing authenticity & not fitting into a mould. 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”. Empowering Women through change Rinima’s journey shows the strength of resilience, authenticity, and believing in herself. Through every challenge, she has embraced who she truly is, inspiring others to do the same. As she continues to break barriers and redefine beauty, her story reminds us that true strength comes from being ourselves, and Beauty shines brightest when it’s rooted in purpose and integrity 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 Francesca Bellettini Ushers In Gucci’s New Dawn 19 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Dibba Studio: Weaving The Future Of Fashion At Thailand Fashion Week AW25-26 2 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Aksstagga: Threads That Whisper Love, Memory, And Eternity 21 August 2025 FASHION By Sakshi Shah The Pursuit Of Comfort: Body By Victoria’s Secret Redefines The Everyday Bra 18 August 2025 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement

Books and Beyond with Bound and Tara Khandelwal, founder of Bound by Aparajita Jaiswal Books and Beyond with Bound and Tara Khandelwal, founder of Bound 5 July 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement While pursuing her passion for books, in a freewheel chat with Aparajita Jaiswal, Tara Khandelwal shares her journey in building Bound from scratch through podcasts with famous authors on “Books and Beyond with Bound.” An ambition young woman with much to bring to the world, Tara Khandelwal has created a world of proximity between writers, readers and authors, leading to a sanctuary for the literary arts. Bookworm, Tara Khandelwal, an editor and writer, is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University and the Columbia Publishing Course. She has worked with organizations like Penguin, BloombergQuint and SheThePeople.TV . Although, her most prized achievement is as a founder of Bound which provides skill building for creativity through writers’ retreats, workshops, writing coaching and editorial services. Tara, alongside her co-founder, Michelle D’costa, has created a podcast called ‘Books and Beyond with Bound’. On this podcast, the ambitious and perspicacious Tara Khandelwal and Michelle D’costa speak to India’s most profound contemporary writers like Manu Pillai, Lisa Ray, Avni Doshi and more, providing voracious readers insights into their favourite authors’ lives. Across international waters, many countries provide various resources for aspiring writers like writing retreats, writing courses, coaching and many more. Tara envisioned something similar and brought it home to India and created similar resources through Bound. “There was an emerging literary culture and people interested in the art of literature but education for the literary arts was international so I decided to plug that cap and started my journey through writer’s retreats, one of the first in India. This was to provide aspiring writers with quality and affordable education.” Her motive was to bridge the gap between readers and their favorite authors and also to provide authors with a platform to engage in teaching what they have procured from this field. After a couple of retreats, bound took to also teaching in various cities like Mumbai and Pune, online and in-person. They teach creative writing for fiction and poetry through meditative writing, screenwriting and various others, their mandate being skill building for creatives. To that end, Bound also provides editorial and mentoring services, enabling authors and writers to work on their projects on a one on one basis. The podcasts, books and beyond with bound, is an attempt to bring readers and writers closer to the authors they love and admire. “It was a dream project for us,” she says. They are almost done with their first season and are definitely going to begin recording their second season. “I wish there were more readers for all the writers out there. That’s one thing I’d like to change about the world.” Tara Khandelwal “Every author that I have worked with I admire for their strong and stellar work ethic.” When asked if as a kid she admired a particular author that encouraged her to pursue a career in this field Tara immediately replied with Enid Blyton. “I was four or five when I first started reading and I started with Enid Blyton. I remember being mind blown when I read my first book, The Secret Island. I didn’t understand the joy of reading at that age but I kept reading and reading from there on forward.” “Every part of my job is challenging but equally fulfilling but the most challenging part is innovating and finding new ways to grow.” Tara says that finding new ways to grow and starting new projects is always challenging but also scary as you never know what is going to happen. “Keeping up motivation is challenging,” she says. “I perceive success as hard work and pushing oneself out of their comfort zone. It is when you know you’re not being complacent and always striving for the next step. For me success would be setting new goals and working to achieve it and having a mentality to achieve resilience.” Tara Khandelwal Besides writing Tara also enjoys yoga as she likes to work out and keep fit and healthy. She also enjoys learning various things. In her free time she does classes and learns about new things and passing her time reading. When asked if she would ever write a book of her own after working to edit other authors’ work she says, “Never say never as never is not in my vocab.” So here’s hoping she does write a book with her profound skill set. Tara Khandelwal has also worked as an editor for Writers’ Side, the biggest literary agency in India, Hachette, Rupa and UK-based Eyewear Publishing, among many others all together. #TaraTaraKhandelwalBooksBooksandbeyondBoundWritersReadersAuthorsLiterary SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Anurag Sen Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob 25 September 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree 22 August 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Off Script, On Truth: Anshumaan Pushkar In His Own Words 30 June 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar From Mowgli To Maverick: Why Shaan R Grover Feels Like The Real Deal 13 June 2025 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

Behind The Lens: Heli Ved's Secrets To Creating Content That Resonates With The Masses by Akshra Khandelwal Behind The Lens: Heli Ved's Secrets To Creating Content That Resonates With The Masses 27 August 2023 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In digital content creation, few names shine as brightly as Heli Ved's. With a thriving YouTube channel and a dedicated following on social media, Heli has captured the hearts of her viewers through her niche content in fashion and beauty. In an exclusive interview for our magazine, Heli reveals the secrets behind her success, her evolution as a content creator, and her dreams for the future. "How are you, and how is everything going on in your life?" we inquired. Heli enthusiastically responds, "I'm doing great, thanks for asking! I'm creating new content every day and ensuring my audience has something unique to experience daily. I'm also focusing on creating niche content in fashion and beauty. I'm excited about my progress, and I can't wait to see what the future holds." Heli's journey on YouTube has been remarkable, and we wonder what sets her content apart and resonates so well with her audience. She replies thoughtfully, "As you know, content is king in today's digital world, and building connections with my audience is paramount to me. Several factors contribute to successful content, including relevance, authenticity, consistency, and adaptation to the platform. Ultimately, creating content that resonates with the audience requires understanding their preferences." From her early days as a content creator to where she is now, Heli's approach to creating videos and engaging with her audience has evolved significantly. "Staying relevant and adapting to trends has become crucial as online platforms and audience preferences evolve," she explains. "Overall, the evolution of content creation has been influenced by technological advancements, shifts in audience behavior, and a deep understanding of the need to connect with viewers on a more personal level." Having amassed a large and dedicated following, we are curious how Heli stays connected with her audience despite the growing numbers. She reveals her strategy, "Interacting with the audience on social media platforms allows us as creators to respond to comments, questions, and feedback, fostering a sense of community. Tailoring content to address specific interests and preferences of different audience segments can enhance engagement. Recognizing and celebrating milestones (e.g., subscriber count) makes the audience feel appreciated and included in the journey." We lighten the mood with a fun question, asking Heli, "If you could be one animal, mythical or existent, what would you be?" She smiles and replies, "I'd be a Phoenix! Bold and elegant, loyal to loved ones and possessing immense courage." As we delve deeper into Heli's career, we ask her to share a highlight from her journey. She fondly recalls, "Hosting the IIFA Red carpet is definitely one of the highlights. I started content creation with the sheer love of building a community, and when that took me places, it felt surreal. My love for extempore as a kid and picking a Speech and Drama class as the extracurricular activity, all made sense at that moment." We are intrigued to know who Heli's dream collaboration would be with and why. She shares her heartfelt dream, "My dream collab is to meet Zoë Sugg and film a classic Haul or makeup routine video with her because she inspired me to start my channel. At a time when I was transitioning from school to college when a lot of things felt overwhelming, her videos helped me immensely. She truly was like an elder sister to me in that phase, and that's what I wanted to emulate." Wrapping up the interview, we seek some advice from Heli for aspiring content creators. "What advice do you have for someone who wants to start creating content on Instagram?" She enthusiastically responds, "Decide on a specific niche or theme for your content. Focusing on a topic you are passionate about will help you attract a targeted audience. Develop a consistent visual style and branding for your posts. Use similar filters, colors, and fonts to create a cohesive and recognizable aesthetic. Lastly, consistency is key to growing your presence on Instagram. Stick to your content schedule and stay dedicated to producing quality content regularly. Enjoy the process, be creative, and have fun sharing your passion with the world!" Heli Ved's journey from a passionate content creator to an influential figure in fashion and beauty is nothing short of inspiring. Her dedication to building connections with her audience, authenticity, and ability to adapt to evolving trends have been key to her success. As she continues to explore new horizons and collaborate with her inspirations, we can't wait to see where her journey takes her next.

Alexandra Victoria Bonte: From Olympic Dreams To Empowering Women Through Real Estate By Sakshi Batra Alexandra Victoria Bonte: From Olympic Dreams To Empowering Women Through Real Estate 7 January 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Alexandra Victoria Bonte , a former equestrian champion, turned her competitive spirit into entrepreneurial success at just 23. As co-founder of Bonte Filipidis Real Estate Agency and partner in the Golden Real Estate Investment Fund, she’s redefining luxury living in Portugal, Ibiza, and the French Riviera. Driven by her love for architecture and design, and guided by her motto, “Credere... Lottare... Vincere...” (Believe... Strive... Conquer...), Alexandra’s journey is a testament to passion and perseverance. From Olympic dreams to building a real estate empire, her story is one of resilience, empowerment, and visionary leadership. From Athlete To Entrepreneur To Influencer "My journey has been a rollercoaster of ambition and reinvention “she mentioned. “As an athlete training for the Olympics, I experienced the heartbreak of shattered dreams”. That moment pushed her to pivot and channel her energy into business. Real estate had caught her attention as a niche waiting to be tapped, prices were low, and she saw an upcoming boom driven by global experts. As her business grew, so did her passion for fashion. She adores the artistry of cities like Paris, Milan, London, and Los Angeles, where architecture and trends collide beautifully. “Dressing well is an extension of who you are - it’s a statement of confidence, much like her real estate agency, which celebrates strong, trendsetting women” she says. Championing Women Empowerment Empowering women is the cornerstone of her philosophy. Having grown up in Portugal, where she witnessed cultural chauvinism firsthand, lower salaries and fewer opportunities for women there she decided to challenge the narrative by building a team that primarily employs women, showing that women are just as capable as men. It was never about being a feminist for her but about achieving equality in the workforce. Unfortunately, “Gender disparities still exist in Portugal and beyond” she exclaimed. Rising Above The Challenges Talking about the challenges she mentioned that COVID-19 was a significant test for her. “While the real estate agency was gaining momentum, the pandemic hit, halting everything - marketing, property showings, even day-to-day operations. Our business collapsed, like many others”. But she believed “Adversity breeds creativity”. During that downtime, she leaned into social media, creating content that blended properties with a lifestyle narrative. It was a game-changer for her which not only helped her stay connected with clients but also redefined how they presented their brand. That period taught her the power of adaptability. Fashion That Defines Alexandra Bonte’s Style "I love mixing vintage pieces with modern trends—blazers are my ultimate staple”. Chanel’s timeless elegance is her favorite, and she admires the classic French style as much as the all-American Ralph Lauren look. She gravitates towards prêt-à-porter pieces that flatters her figure without being too revealing—classic yet understated. When it comes to colors, she doesn’t have strict preferences; she simply chooses the shades that complement her complexion and hair at that moment. “My style isn’t just about following trends but about incorporating timeless vintage elements into my wardrobe” she says. Her wardrobe focuses on quality over quantity – The pieces that endures time and trends. Inside Alexandra Bonte’s Signature Instagram Style Secrets "Well, I can’t reveal all my secrets! But I’ll say this - haircare plays a pivotal role”, she exclaimed with a smile. She invests in structured treatments to keep her hair healthy and vibrant. As for styling, it’s about balance and refinement. Her goal is to create looks that feel effortless yet put-together. Shaping The Future: Alexandra Bonte’s Exciting Upcoming Projects One of the projects that she is most passionate about is unfolding in Africa—a sustainable smart city in Nigeria. “This venture is not just about infrastructure; it’s about creating a future that empowers communities and champions women’s leadership” she mentioned. “At the heart of this project is a focus on women empowerment, sustainability, and holistic development. From schools and hospitals to offices, malls, and theatres, it’s designed to be a complete ecosystem that redefines modern living.” For her, this is more than just a career milestone—"It’s a meaningful contribution to Africa’s growth and a testament to the transformative power of women-led initiatives." Redefining Success, Empowering Women, And Shaping The Future Alexandra Victoria Bonte’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From Olympic dreams to building a luxury real estate empire, she has proven that resilience and passion can turn setbacks into triumphs.

From Blair To Bloomingdale's: The Prep Revival We're Living For By Ananya Patankar From Blair To Bloomingdale's: The Prep Revival We're Living For 18 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement With spring’s arrival comes a renewed craving for crisp silhouettes and fresh palettes. The preppy aesthetic: clean, classic, and cleverly composed, makes its elegant return, redefined for the women who walk the line between heritage and modernity Preppy style has always whispered rather than shouted. This season, it speaks with a clearer, more expressive tone. Think ballet flats in powder pink, glossy Mary Janes with sculptural buckles, and pearl-dusted headbands that nod to Blair Waldorf—but without the drama. Bloomingdale’s edit captures this evolution with quiet confidence: timeless pieces styled for modern moments. Preppy is having a moment—and not in the way you remember it. Gone are the rigid polos and rule-bound uniforms of school corridors past. In their place: a new kind of polish, softened by sunlight and worn with the ease of a knowing smile. The Spring edit at Bloomingdale’s embraces this redefinition with quiet confidence—curating pieces that echo the icons of prep without mimicking them. There’s the Upper East Side poise of Blair Waldorf in a croc-embossed headband and sharp box-pleated mini. The understated cool of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in her rounded shades and hairband. There’s Clueless-era Cher Horowitz in her tweed cardigans and matching Mary Janes, her charm disarming, her tailoring impeccable. And of course, there’s the boyish charm of Ali MacGraw in Love Story—camel coats, collegiate knits, and just a touch of deliberate dishevelment. Bloomingdale’s channels these influences not as costume, but as conversation: houndstooth trenches softened with silk scarves; prim skirts paired with oversized oxfords; ballet flats done in patent blush with unexpected square toes. It’s preppy, yes—but airier, dreamier, and unmistakably now. The season calls for clarity. For charm. For the kind of dressed-up restraint that doesn’t beg attention, but earns it with every refined detail. And for that, Bloomingdale’s delivers with studied elegance.

Dubai Fashion Week Begins: Must-See Highlights From Day One By Anushka Uniyal Dubai Fashion Week Begins: Must-See Highlights From Day One 13 February 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Dubai Fashion Week’s AW25/26 day one kicked off on Saturday, 4 February and will continue till February 8 with show-stopping looks and contemporary trends, featuring Dubai-based labels like Zeena Zaki, Angelo Estera and Manel, as well as Indonesian label Toton, each bringing a unique perspective to the runway. Zeenka Zaki: A Visionary Zeena Zaki kicked off her show with pure confidence and elegance. Inspired by the spiral, a symbol she kept noticing in her daily life and dreams, she brought it to life on the runway. Think flowing gowns, sharp silhouettes and bold colours, all coming together in a collection that proved once again why she’s a force in MENA fashion. The collection featured soft and traditional feminine silhouettes with fluid shapes and dynamic palettes with details like twisted knots around the waist, heart-shaped necklines, ruffles and the models’ wet hair strands that were fixed in winding shapes down their faces. Zaki’s collection is a masterclass when it comes to storytelling and narratives, where each piece unfolds like a new chapter. The display showcased a visual journey which began from dark, structured silhouettes to softer, ethereal designs symbolizing resilience and renewal. Contrasting elements, like sleek black dresses and fluid pastels, mirror personal growth, while the suspenseful soundtrack enhances the storytelling. Through emotion, symbolism and creative progression, Zaki’s designs go beyond fashion, creating a compelling narrative of empowerment and rebirth. Toton: Sustainability Meets Tradition Revealing a collection that brought together fashion, sustainability and celebration of heritage, womenswear brand TOTON , presented by Makeover Indonesia, collaborated with Batik artists from Tuban and Cirebon. The collection showcased handcrafted Batik prints with modern cuts and contemporary textures. The clothing integrated upcycled fabrics and novel textiles such as paper clay, echoing the brand’s commitment to environmental consciousness. The collection aimed to address global issues with pieces that celebrate ancient craftsmanship with a modern take. Manel: Parisian Elegance With A Dubai Twist Manel Aboudaoud, the name behind the Dubai-based label MANEL , made her debut at DWF. Titled the ‘Paris Day to Night’ collection, Aboudaoud drew from both her Arabian heritage and childhood in Paris to unveil a collection of sophisticated gowns. Fusing the grandeur of Arab shapes with quintessential French accents such as Chantilly lace, satin and velvet, Aboudaoud’s collection was a victorious coming out and a testament to the designer’s technical skilfulness. Angelo Estera: A Tribute To The Silk Road Dubai-based brand Angelo Estera delivered a breathtaking showcase inspired by the designer’s journey through Moscow and the historic Silk Road. The palette included deep reds, bold golds and striking blacks. In fact, dramatic silhouettes took centre stage! Think voluminous skirts, sculpted bodices and intricate crystal embellishments adorning shoulders, cuffs and corsets. Every detail felt like a tribute to the luxury and cultural exchange of the past, woven into couture. The grand finale? A show-stopping gown—ornate, regal, and covered in intricate beadwork, bringing history to life. Angelo Estera didn’t just put on a show; he told a story of luxury, heritage, and timeless style. A Fashion Capital In The Making Dubai Fashion Week at Dubai Design District (D3) is a celebration of style and creativity. With a mix of new talent and big names, it highlights Dubai’s growing influence in fashion. Each show brings bold designs, exciting moments, and fresh energy to the runway. As the week continues, expect more stunning collections and unforgettable fashion.
