Gunja's Inspiring Transition From The Cubicles Into The Realm Of Beauty by Akshra Khandelwal Gunja's Inspiring Transition From The Cubicles Into The Realm Of Beauty 31 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement One name stands out in digital artistry and creative expression like a radiant star - Gunja. With a charismatic smile that echoes her vibrant energy, Gunja has captured the hearts of many with her awe-inspiring content and impeccable talent. As we sat down for an exclusive interview with the influencer, the candid conversation revealed the essence of her journey, her inspirations, and the secrets behind her undeniable success. "I'm great. Been working on a bunch of exciting campaigns currently and feeling super grateful," Gunja exclaims with an infectious enthusiasm that mirrors her online persona. The gleam in her eyes tells a story of dedication and devotion to her craft. Gunja's day unfolds like a perfectly scripted routine, a glimpse into the life of Gunja - her real name. "So I start my day with affirmations, gratitude & exercises, followed by breakfast. I then follow up on emails & head to my studio for shoots. By evening I come back & then have dinner, edit a few videos & then sleep," she narrates, revealing a well-structured rhythm that fuels her creativity. Her journey as an influencer has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, packed with twists, turns, and leaps of faith. "My journey has definitely been a rollercoaster. I started my page in November 2019 after quitting my high-paying job as I wanted to pursue my passion, beauty. Initially, I was creating videos for fun until it started picking up & eventually, my hard work paid off, leading to me grabbing multiple brand collaborations & now I'm here fulfilling my dreams one by one," Gunja shares, her eyes sparkling with the memories of her transformation. Among the gems in her crown of content creation are the mesmerising recreations that have captivated her audience's hearts. "As a teenager, I was always fascinated with the makeup of Bollywood celebrities. I always wanted to look like my favourite actress. Then when I started experimenting with makeup, it boosted my confidence to recreate some celebrity-inspired makeup looks, and the kind of love my audience shows for it is impeccable," she explains, revealing the genesis of her creative series that marries art with admiration. Gunja's playlist holds a melody that resonates deep within her soul. "Who Says" by Selena Gomez is a song she always finds herself returning to. "The lyrics uplift my mood. The song is all about self-confidence & how you shouldn't let anyone else define your worth and know who you actually are," she articulates, her voice carrying the weight of the song's empowering message. The delicate art of balance is a skill that Gunja has perfected. "It's simple. By not rushing & stressing over. Also, by setting blocks of time for each task & practising mindfulness," she states, a glimpse into the poise that underlies her creative chaos. For aspiring creators who seek to follow in her footsteps, Gunja has a golden nugget of advice. "Be patient, consistent & moreover, believe in yourself and don't give up," she imparts, words that echo like a mantra for those treading the path of dreams. But Gunja's message to the world transcends the digital canvas and touches the heart of the human experience. "Pay attention to your thoughts, think outside the box, find peace within yourself & have a generous heart," she concludes, her words a testament to the profound wisdom she has gained on her journey. As our conversation draws to a close, it's evident that Gunja is more than an influencer; she is a beacon of inspiration, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to the power of pursuing one's passions. Peppered with challenges and triumphs, her journey is a testament that every creation is a canvas for the soul's expression. In the world of pixels and algorithms, Gunja shines as a reminder that behind every profile is a tapestry of dreams waiting to be woven into reality.

Neon Nights And Yellow Lights: The Sonic World Of Natania Lalwani By Shriniwas Kodape Neon Nights And Yellow Lights: The Sonic World Of Natania Lalwani 30 April 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement I’ve always believed that music — the good kind, the gut-punch kind — is made by people who don’t quite belong anywhere. People with one foot in the door, one foot out on the fire escape, ready to bolt the minute the conversation gets boring. And somewhere out there in that beautifully disoriented space lives Natania Lalwani . Now, here’s a voice that doesn’t just drift through your headphones. No, this is the kind of voice that crawls up the back of your neck, plants itself in your bloodstream, and stays there. It’s not clean, it’s not tidy, and thank god for that. It’s jagged, restless, dipped in heartbreak and late-night neon, like a love letter you’re too afraid to send. Born in the buzzing chaos of Mumbai and living under the hazy sun-bleached sprawl of Los Angeles, Natania’s music exists in a place where maps don’t work. You can try to pin her down with genre labels, diaspora clichés, Spotify playlist tags — go ahead, the industry certainly has — but she’ll slip through your fingers every damn time. And that, dear reader, is exactly why we wanted her in this issue. We live in a time when too many artists are pre-packaged, algorithm-approved, made for TikTok virality, and 30-second hooks. Everything is safe, synthetic, and sterilized for mass consumption. But Natania’s work? It bleeds. It bruises. It sounds like somebody is still chasing the ghost of their younger self down rain-slick streets. Her track “Gulzar” isn’t just a song — it’s a mood, a state of mind, the soundtrack to those hazy, half-remembered conversations with people you’ll probably never see again. Pro Tip: Don’t play “Gulzar” when you’re trying to be emotionally numb. It has a way of cracking something open in you — making you feel like you’ve stumbled onto the closing scene of a film you didn’t know you were starring in. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. What gets me — what always gets me — is that she’s not trying to be anything other than what she is. A woman caught between cities, between identities, between the version of herself the world expects and the one she’s still figuring out. And she’s making art in that blurred space, turning confusion into melody, fear into rhythm. That’s not just music. That’s survival. Before the label deals, the TV soundtracks , the ad campaigns and the Spotify checks, it was just her — a girl in her bedroom with a guitar, a laptop, and a head full of sounds no one else could hear yet. That’s the stuff we should be chasing. The raw, unfinished, stubbornly personal things. The kind of music you play alone at night, long after the city’s gone to sleep, when it’s just you and whatever ghosts you haven’t managed to shake. This feature isn’t here to slap a ‘next big thing’ sticker on her. Screw that. It’s here because in a year where everything feels engineered and overproduced, Natania Lalwani reminds us that some things still come from the gut, from the dark, from the unlit corners of our heads where the good stories hide. Side Note: If you’re wondering why we’re so obsessed with this " gut instinct " thing, it’s because in a world where everyone’s selling something, it’s the only thing that’s still free. She’s not just making Indian pop music. Or LA indie pop. Or cross-cultural, genre-bending “content.” She’s making Natania music . And that’s exactly what we need. So raise a glass, light a cigarette, put on the record, whatever your vice — and listen closely. The in-between never sounded this good. — Shriniwas Kodape, L’utopia Magazine 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 Shriniwas Kodape The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash 4 October 2025 COVER STORIES 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 RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

The Very Naked Case Of John Cena By Anushka Sharma The Very Naked Case Of John Cena 13 March 2024 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The glitz, the glamor, and yes, the unexpected nudity—welcome to the wild world of the Oscars ! Let's dive into the sensational saga of John Cena's bare-it-all moment at the 96th Annual Academy Awards in 2024 and how it echoes the infamous streaking incident from 1974. Picture this: Hollywood's finest gather to celebrate the crème de la crème of cinema at the Oscars. But amidst the star-studded affair, there's one man who decides to steal the spotlight in the most daring way possible—none other than wrestling legend turned actor, John Cena. Now, Cena wasn't up for any awards that night, but he sure made his mark. Strutting onto the stage alongside host Jimmy Kimmel, Cena left jaws dropping and tongues wagging as he stood there, completely in the buff. It was a bold move, to say the least, but Cena wasn't about to let a little thing like clothes get in the way of making a statement. So, what prompted this risqué display? Well, Kimmel, ever the mischief-maker, harked back to a legendary moment in Oscars history—the streaking incident of 1974. Back then, a fellow by the name of Robert Opel caused quite the stir by dashing across the stage in his birthday suit. And Kimmel, always one for a good laugh, thought it would be hilarious to recreate that moment with Cena. But Cena wasn't having it. With a twinkle in his eye and a hint of mischief, he declared, "The male body is not a joke." It was a powerful statement, reminding us all that there's more to nudity than just shock value. And with that, Cena took his place on stage, ready to present the award for Best Costume Design. Of course, presenting an award at the Oscars is no easy feat, especially when you're doing it in the buff. Cena struggled to open the winner's envelope, his lack of clothing proving to be more of a hindrance than a help. But hey, that's showbiz for you! Meanwhile, let's rewind the clock to 1974, the year of the original Oscars streaker, Robert Opel. As host David Niven attempted to introduce Elizabeth Taylor, Opel made his grand entrance, streaking across the stage with reckless abandon. It was a moment of pure chaos and hilarity, with Niven quick to quip, "Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?" Opel's motives were unclear—some say he was advocating for body positivity, while others claim he simply wanted his fifteen minutes of fame. But regardless of his intentions, Opel's streaking stunt left an indelible mark on Oscars history, setting the stage for future moments of unexpected hilarity. Back in 2024, Cena's bare-it-all moment may not have been as spontaneous as Opel's, but it was certainly no less entertaining. As he stood there, stark naked, presenting an award at the most prestigious event in Hollywood, Cena reminded us all that sometimes, you've just got to strip away the pretense and embrace the absurdity of it all. So, whether you're a wrestling fan, a movie buff, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh, Cena's naked Oscars moment is sure to go down in history as one of the most memorable—and hilarious—moments in Oscars history. Here's to the wild, wacky world of Hollywood, where anything can happen, and often does!

by Priti Sharma by Priti Sharma Thirteenth - Century Angkor Was Home To More People Than Modern Boston 18 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The Southeast Asian city of Angkor, famous for the Angkor Wat temple, had between 700,000 and 900,000 residents in the 13th century. With this number, Angkor becomes one of the biggest cities before the modern era. It's also comparable in size to many modern cities; Boston, for example, had around 693,000 residents in 2019. The city’s remains, currently in northwest Cambodia, are well-known for their stone temples, structures, and infrastructure. With the use of scanning technology, archaeologists could spot the remains of buildings made of wood and less resilient materials outside Angkor's "downtown" region. They have vanished without a trace since the majority of their structures were built of wood, thatch, and bamboo. The remnants of Yasodharapura's walls, reservoirs, roadways, and, most importantly, its religious structures—which were constructed of stone and laterite to worship the Buddha or a pantheon of Indian gods—are how we learned about this city that was abandoned in the sixteenth century. When Angkor Wat was first constructed, Suryavarman II was a strong ruler who used it as both a mausoleum and a monument. Over a square mile is devoted to the Vishnu shrine. The Ramayana, an Indian epic, as well as incidents from Suryavarman's life are shown in the base relief's exquisite carving. They also display the god of the underworld, Yama, sending people to heaven or to hell. A sophisticated culture, "Angkor" had its rulers at the top of the social hierarchy. The majority of those who constructed the temples and produced sustenance for the aristocracy were rice farmers, and they employed methods that have largely remained unchanged to the current day. The Khmer people were skilled carpenters and gifted stone and wood carvers. Impressive reservoirs and razor-sharp roadways connecting Cambodian cities were built by Khmer engineers, and many of the temples still bear intricate inscriptions that were written by Khmer poets. Warriors from Cambodia assaulted nearby kingdoms and guarded Yasodharapura against invasion. Many of these "ordinary" contributions are overlooked when we visit the temples or see the ethereal traditional dance of Cambodia. After Jayavarman's demise, Yasodharapura continued to be a magnificent and rich city for at least two hundred years. Following a Thai army assault in 1431, it was mostly abandoned. Soon after, the center of government in Cambodia moved to the south. A Cambodian monarch visited the old city in the 1500s, repaired a few temples, and presumably spent some time living in Yasodharapura. Angkor Wat was often visited by pilgrims, and a Buddhist monastery stood next to the temple for many years. However, Yasodharapura was abandoned by the outside world, and the jungle gradually took it over. The amazingly creative and engineering prowess that the ruins show makes up for its "heritage." In addition to the open-minded, resourceful, and tough people who struggle to make ends meet in their impoverished, congested country while keeping testimony to their magnificent heritage, these abilities are on display today in Cambodian classical dance. A tropical metropolis, Angkor endured centuries of political and climatic unpredictability. Urban planners may be able to better grasp some of the limitations that an increasing number of the world's cities confront by tracking the phenomenon's development and tipping point.

Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview by Aparajita Jaiswal Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview 6 April 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Barkha Singh , an actor, and content creator, digs up some fewer known facts and details about her journey with interviewer Kavya Gupta. The conversation gets more exciting as Barkha discusses her YouTube Channel, her growth as an actor and a content creator, her experience shooting with Sushmita Sen and much more! Barkha Singh started her career in acting in 2015 in an MTV show. She claims that her Instagram and YouTube Content Creation were “by-products” of her acting experience. “Because of the MTV show, my Instagram handle suddenly started, skyrocketing. I was growing 20k-30k every day on Instagram. Before this, I didn’t even know content creation is a “scene” and people can do all this. I think very few people like Ashish in India had started it. Adding to this, Barkha gives us details about her inspiration to start her YouTube channel, “Because my followers started growing, the people managing me at that time, they made me realise like that since I travel so much and anyways shooting travel content, I can just upload it in one place on the YouTube channel and I was very much against starting a YouTube channel thinking I won’t be able do all of it (auditions, shooting, Instagram and YouTube and they were like, shut up and do it. As I started uploading more and more content, many tourists and boards of different countries started reaching out to me to create content on my YouTube channel. After that, I got great views you know so that’s when I decided this was the best way to make my love for travel sustainable.” When asked what she looks for in a new project before signing yes to it, Barkha reveals that other than the standard considerations regarding production and platform, the storyline and character offered to her plays an extremely important role. Barkha has had the opportunity to work alongside Sushmita Sen and claims and claims she had a wonderful experience. While contributing to wildlife and nature are some of her alternate interests, Barkha digs deeper by expressing the challenges one faces in the show industry. “I think, at least for me the most challenging part is showing restraint. A lot of people say it’s very important to select the right project. So, that is most challenging because as an actor you’re tempted to do every project that comes your way . Having the ability to pick and choose your projects is something that I feel is very challenging because every character requires a different dialect and a whole lot of work. I never bring up long hours, travel, staying away or not having weekends as challenges because all of that comes as part and parcel of being an actor. However, I think having to choose between projects and having gauze which one is good for you is most challenging thing according to me.” An eye catcher in this interview is the revelation of some of Barkha’s cherished and note-worthy accomplishments such as being a 12th board exam merit list holder and topping Maharashtra, raising awareness, and educating people for animal welfare, having the courage to make a shift into the web space and maintaining a healthy body lifestyle in terms of meditation, yoga and a fitness regime. Concluding the interview, Barkha also told us about some of her future goals and projects “One project that has already been announced by Jio Studios is The Great Wedding of Munnes which will release later this year. I am very excited about it. The entire look of the character I am playing is very interesting.

Farhan Khan: Where Poetry Meets Hip-Hop, And Stories Come Alive By Sakshi Batra Farhan Khan: Where Poetry Meets Hip-Hop, And Stories Come Alive 10 February 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement “Main Toh Hoon Shayar, Bata Deta Baatein, Par Kambakht Woh Kaise Sambhalega” This isn’t just a line from Farhan Khan - it’s a glimpse into his soul. A poet who wears his heart on his sleeve, a rapper who turns life’s chaos into a rhythm, and an artist who tells stories with every verse, Farhan Khan isn’t your typical creative. He’s a force of nature, a whirlwind of emotions, ideas, and untamed passion. So, who is Farhan Khan? He’s not just a rapper, poet, or actor. He’s a storyteller who turns heartbreak into poetry, struggles into inspiration, and every experience into a masterpiece. This is the story of the man who refuses to be boxed in who lives to bring something extraordinary to the table every single time. A Life Beyond Boundaries Farhan's father, a ghazal writer and tailor, played a big role in shaping his journey. He also looks up to the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Nusrat Sahab) for inspiration. While others tried to set limits for him, Farhan never believed in boundaries. For him, art is limitless, a space where he can explore anything, from love and spirituality to deep emotions, both good and bad. A Wall, A Dream, A Turning Point At the age of 16, Farhan made a declaration that changed everything. Scrawled on the wall of his room was a simple yet powerful promise: “I will come on TV & become an actor.” It wasn’t just graffiti; it was a vision. Farhan dove into the world of art and music, fuelled by his relentless desire to express himself. Though his family initially hesitated to support his unconventional dreams, they couldn’t ignore his passion. Farhan recalls his days working at his father’s tailoring shop, where he not only learned the value of hard work but also developed a business mindset that complements his artistic endeavours. The Birth Of “The Last Khan Sahab Show” Farhan’s debut album, “ The Last Khan Sahab Show” , is more than just music- it’s an entire world. Drawing inspiration from his father’s nickname, “Khan Sahab”, the album’s title pays homage to his roots and was appreciated by artists like Badshah and Raftaar . Farhan introduces the iconic Khan Sahab character as a one-time phenomenon, marking the end of its journey with a poignant farewell. Through the track “Rudali” , he performs the metaphorical last rites for the character, signalling the end of an era and paving the way for a fresh chapter with new stories and personas. The album then transitions to the song “Jannat”, where Farhan and a friend share a candid conversation about his love life, setting the stage for the unfolding tale of “Alif and Laila”. What truly sets this album apart is its immersive storytelling. Each song brings a character to life, every lyric unravels a narrative, and every beat pulls you deeper into Farhan’s creative universe. The Stories Behind The Songs Farhan’s albums don’t just feature tracks - they unfold like movies. One of his most intriguing storylines revolves around Alif & Laila, set against the backdrop of the 80s. Take the iconic Jawab de , a track that weaves a tale of heartbreak, longing, and redemption. Farhan’s alter-ego, Alif, questions his love, Laila, with raw, piercing words: “Woh Tujhe Chhoota Hai, Jaise Main Chhoota Tha Waise, Kya Uske Bhi Seene Pe Soti Ho, Zulfein Hatata Hai, Tere Chehre Se?” The album doesn’t just stop at heartbreak. It dives deeper into emotions, exploring betrayal, love, and self-reflection, followed by the most iconic “ Ajnabi.” “Ajnabi Sa Ye Ehsas Hai, Badnasibi Na Tu Sath Hai, Shah Ki Daulat Tu Hi Thi Sanam Ab, Bas Fakeeri Na Kuch Pas Hai” The narrative takes unexpected turns, from Alif’s heartfelt confessions to dramatic confrontations. In “Aankhon Ne Maara”, Laila realizes Alif’s love for her still burns strong, even as the world conspires against them. Farhan’s ability to create entire worlds within his music makes him stand apart in the industry. “For me, rap and poetry are ways to tell stories. They give me freedom and a unique perspective,” he explains. In Cigarette , Farhan masterfully uses the imagery of smoking as a metaphor for loneliness: “Ab toh bas hum dono hi hain, ek main aur ek meri cigarette.” This song, which took weeks to perfect, is Farhan’s personal favourite. It’s a hauntingly beautiful reminder of how art can turn pain into poetry. A Blend Of Old And New Farhan’s artistry is a kaleidoscope of influences. His father’s love for ghazals and the timeless magic of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan laid the foundation. Bollywood legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan ignited his love for cinema, while the directory of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Imtiaz Ali inspired him the most in his storytelling. But Farhan isn’t here to follow trends. “Doing what everyone else does would make me lose my essence,” he says. “I want to bring something new to the table every time.” Passion For Fashion Farhan has personally designed the outfits for his albums, drawing on his experience working in his father’s shop. With this background in tailoring and a keen eye for fashion, he has a natural flair for creating unique ensembles and dreams of designing outfits that reflect his artistic vision. This philosophy extends to his love for fashion. Farhan dreams of collaborating with brands like Raymond, Siyaram and Manyavar , bringing back the charm of kurta-pyjamas with a modern twist. His vision? To revive traditions and merge them with contemporary art forms. The Man Behind The Music Offstage, Farhan is a simple man with a love for good food and heartfelt cinema. His favourite dish? Nalli Nihari is famously known as the warrior’s food. But nothing beats his mother’s tomato gosht, a dish he cherishes deeply. Growing up, Farhan often skipped school to catch Bollywood movies at the nearest cinema. His favourite films, like Devdas and Black Mirror, reflect his love for grand storytelling. What’s Next? Farhan’s journey is far from over. He’s gearing up to expand the Alif Laila saga “I want each album to surprise people, to bring something they’ve never experienced before,” he says with excitement. With every project, Farhan Khan continues to blur the lines between music, poetry, and storytelling. His work is a celebration of art in all its forms, a testament to his belief that creativity knows no boundaries. The Legacy Of Farhan Khan Farhan Khan is not just an artist, he’s a phenomenon. From his heartfelt lyrics to his groundbreaking narratives, he’s redefining what it means to be creative in today’s world. As he continues to surprise us with his artistry, one thing is clear - Farhan Khan is here to leave an indelible mark, not just on the industry but on everyone who experiences his work. Because when Farhan speaks, writes, or raps, the world listens. And as he says, “Dilbar Ko Dur Nhi Karte, Dil Tod Kar Choor Nahi Karte, Sab Kehte Par Main Manta Nai, Tum Humko Bhool Nahi Sakte, Aise Majboor Nahi Karte” Indeed, the world may find it hard to handle the brilliance of Farhan Khan. Anticipating the birth of a new era and more of his extraordinary creations.

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!

Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree By Ananya Patankar Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree 22 August 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement The first thing you notice about Christine Gulasatree isn’t her beauty, though she has the kind of presence that can hold a camera lens still. It’s the energy—the restless spark she carries into a room, alive and uncontainable. It radiates in the way she speaks, in the way she moves, in the way her story keeps unfolding as if one medium could never be enough to contain it. Model. Actress. Singer-songwriter. Each of those titles fits her, but none of them capture her whole. To meet Christine is to understand that she’s less interested in labels than in the art of becoming. She is, above all, a storyteller—one who has learned that expression doesn’t need boundaries, only honesty. “I feel like I’m just a human who loves to do a lot of activities. An enthusiastic human,” she says with an easy laugh, brushing off the weight of a résumé that would intimidate most at 29. That humility disguises more than a decade of persistence, of carving out space in industries where resilience is the only currency. Born and raised in Bangkok, Christine grew up at the intersection of cultures—Thai, Chinese, and German—where expression was encouraged, and curiosity was never a fault. By fifteen, she had stepped into the whirlwind of modeling, chasing both ambition and the thrill of doing what few around her dared. “I didn’t know much about the industry, only that it looked cool and exciting,” she remembers. What followed was a baptism by fire. The fashion world was sharp, quick, and unforgiving. Christine stayed anyway. “Maybe I just wanted to prove people wrong,” she admits. “But then I realized it wasn’t about them—it was about me. About building the life I wanted.” Her look—delicate yet commanding—made her a fixture on Bangkok’s runways and in campaigns. Modeling gave her a stage, but not a voice. That hunger for more creative avenues eventually led her elsewhere. By 2018, Christine was no longer just striding under spotlights but standing in front of film cameras, playing her first role in The Judgement , a Thai drama. The shift was revelatory. “Acting was different from modeling. With acting, you can inhabit emotions that aren’t yours. You can tell stories that cut deeper than appearances. I loved that.” One role led to another— Wolf (2019), Pattaya Heat (2024)—each step sharpening her craft. But it was Netflix’s Reverse 4 You , a fantasy-romance released in 2024, that altered the trajectory of her career. Christine had her first leading role, and with it, a younger, more devoted audience. “When I became an actress two years ago, I suddenly had young fans,” she recalls, her voice softening. “And I realized I didn’t just want to entertain. I wanted to be real. I wanted to be a role model.” That desire to connect—to inspire—pushed her into music. For Christine, songwriting became something rawer than scripts or runways, a place to pour the unfiltered pieces of herself. “Music feels like my most honest form of expression,” she explains. “Modeling and acting are beautiful, but they’re interpretations of something outside me. Music is just me.” To her, there’s no divide between these worlds. They’re simply different branches of the same restless spirit, each one allowing her to step into a new version of herself. Her inspirations, she says, were there all along—in films she watched as a child, in music that echoed through her home, even in toys that carried stories of their own. “Those things made me want to create something of my own one day,” she smiles. That day, it seems, has arrived. Now, whether she’s walking a runway, embodying a character, or strumming out melodies, Christine’s compass is the same: authenticity. She wants to remind others—especially young women—that identity is not fixed, and the courage to evolve is its own art form. “I’m still learning, still growing,” she says, unafraid of the uncertainty. “But if I can show people, especially young girls, that it’s okay to take your own path—no matter how many times it changes—then that’s enough.” For Christine Gulasatree, the future isn’t about narrowing down to one label. It’s about claiming them all, without apology. A model who dares to act. An actress who dares to sing. A storyteller who refuses to stay in one lane. A restless, luminous spirit who keeps proving that passion, when paired with courage, always finds its voice.
