By Anushka Sharma A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma 19 October 2024 COVER STORIES Advertisement In a realm where opportunity often knocks in unexpected ways, Aditi Sharma's story shines as a beacon of resilience and creativity. Known for her vibrant presence on screen and her fearless stint on "Khatron Ke Khiladi," Aditi’s journey is a blend of passion, social media savvy, and sheer determination. To Fearless Beginnings: Conquering Khatron Ke Khiladi: Starting the conversation with her experience on the adrenaline-pumping reality show, Aditi shared how "Khatron Ke Khiladi" was nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Handling scorpions and jumping into deep waters was daunting, yet exhilarating. It was a test of physical endurance and mental strength, but Aditi embraced every challenge. Despite her short run on the show, she left with memories that transformed her. “Most of the things were very scary,” she reflects. “But it’s also real fun because, in the end, you’re doing something you never thought possible. I used to not be afraid of water, but after the show, I have a new respect for deep water. It was a different feeling.” From YouTube to Stardom: A Dream Takes Flight: Unlike many who set their sights on acting through traditional channels, Aditi's journey began in the digital realm. During her college days, she dreamed of being on screen but didn’t know where to begin. Starting on YouTube while studying journalism and mass communication, she hoped her presence would someday lead to bigger opportunities. And it did. Her first break came with a Clean & Clear face wash commercial, which took her to Bangkok on her first international trip. That advertisement opened doors for more projects, and social media played a crucial role in her rise to fame. “Social media was everything for me,” she says. “It’s how people discovered me, from YouTube videos to getting shortlisted for magazine shoots. That was my entry into the industry.” Navigating the Roller Coaster of Life in Entertainment: Aditi admits that her career has been a roller coaster, marked by highs and lows. The nature of the industry is unpredictable, with periods of intense work followed by moments of waiting for the next big opportunity. Yet, Aditi has embraced the ride, finding joy in every experience. Her role in Yeh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka remains one of her most cherished memories. The magical storyline, combined with the physical demands of the role—such as performing stunts and working with harnesses—challenged her creatively and pushed her boundaries. “Every project I’ve worked on holds a special place in my heart, but that show was particularly close to me. It was a creative playground where imagination ran wild.” All About The Love for Travel and Finding Balance: Though her schedule is often packed with 12-14 hour shoots, Aditi carves out time for her other passion—travel. She fondly recalls her trips to the Maldives, a place she calls “breathtaking,” for its serenity and beauty. Whether it’s enjoying a romantic getaway or simply relaxing with friends, Maldives remains her favorite destination. Despite the long working hours, Aditi emphasizes the importance of balance. She begins each day with a 30-minute workout to boost her energy, which she credits for keeping her physically and mentally fresh. Her night routine is just as essential, helping her unwind and recharge for the next day. To Looking Ahead: Aditi’s Ambitions for the Future: When asked about her future goals, we realized that Aditi is private, but hopeful. She aspires to work on larger projects, including collaborations with directors like Imtiaz Ali and Neeraj Pandey. “I see myself growing in both my personal and professional life, but I believe in keeping my dreams close until they come true.” Aditi’s journey, from her YouTube days to becoming a household name, is a testament to the power of perseverance, innovation, and adaptability. In an age where social media can be a gateway to dreams, Aditi is proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Her advice to budding actors and creators? “Social media has made things easier, but you still have to put in the work. It’s about making the right use of it, and if you fit the bill, you’ll get the role.” In a fast-evolving industry, Aditi Sharma remains a dynamic force—an actress who not only embraces challenges but also rewrites the narrative of what it means to succeed in today’s digital world.

Riddhi Nahata, a dynamic influencer and a promising legal professional, is one such trailblazer. In a candid conversation, Riddhi unravelled the secrets behind her successful career as she gracefully dons various hats simultaneously. Transitioning from one field to another can be daunting, but Riddhi Nahata is no stranger to embracing change and taking on new challenges. As a passionate advocate of law and fashion, she found ways to seamlessly combine and switch between her two loves. With a smile, she explains that the key lies in self-learning, time management, and maintaining a balance between both fields. "Patience is something you develop when you switch between professions," Riddhi muses. "Both law and fashion are dynamic fields that evolve over time. Staying updated with the latest trends in fashion and law helps to remain relevant in each area. A career combining multiple passions can be fulfilling and rewarding, allowing you to bring a unique perspective to your work and positively impact both the legal and fashion industries." Riddhi's journey in fashion has been nothing short of transformative. From a tomboy to a fashion influencer, she reflects on fashion's significant change in her life. For her, the technique is not just about trendy clothes; it is a profound form of self-expression that reflects cultural, social, and individual identities. "Today, fashion has become a way of presenting ourselves to the world and how we are perceived by others," Riddhi explains. "It's relatively simple; fashion is wearing any piece of cloth and being extremely confident in it. To build this confidence, it has taken a massive amount of time, but the journey has been worth it." With an impressive list of accomplishments, Riddhi Nahata's dedication and hard work are evident. One of her most cherished milestones is clearing her LLB with first-class honours without compromising her commitment to her influential online presence. Beyond her personal achievements, Riddhi believes in giving back to her community. "Rather than supporting big brands, I believe in supporting local brands, boutiques, and small businesses," she proudly shares. Her love for her city, Nashik, is palpable, and she is determined to contribute positively to the growth of local enterprises. Recently, Riddhi was honoured by the Savvy School of Design and Technology as the Fashion Icon 2023 for her commendable work in modelling and lifestyle influences. Her success in both fields exemplifies the power of perseverance and determination. When asked about her future plans, Riddhi remains optimistic and driven. "The Future depends on what you do today," she remarks. "I will keep engaging, experimenting with my work and content, and giving my hundred percent to work. I'm stepping forward one step at a time, whatever the future holds. Saying 'YES' to everything that comes my way." The past year has seen a surge in influencers across various niches, but Riddhi's journey into the influencer realm holds a unique story. "Covid-19 and its accompanying uncertainties made us lose a lot of things, but on the brighter side, we gained so much in terms of time and passion," she recounts. A turning point in Riddhi's life came when she crossed paths with photographer Yash Newaskar in 2019. Through his lens, she discovered the limitless potential of the influencer field and the immense impact it could create. Since then, Riddhi has relentlessly pursued her passion, and there has been no turning back. "The internet allowed people with unique and specific interests to find like-minded communities, enabling us influencers to cater to niche markets effectively," Riddhi explains. "We often connect with our followers on a personal level, sharing our daily lives, experiences, and opinions. This authenticity and relatability build trust and loyalty among our audience."

by Mudita Bagla Divorce - Not A Big Deal 24 January 2023 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Marriages happen. Every individual who gets married wishes for a blissful married life. But do all marriages really work out? No, absolutely not. There are many reasons for the same. Just like marriage, divorce too is a chapter of life which starts when the chapter of marriage ends. That's it. When everyone around us supports and accepts our marriages, why should divorce be any different? Why, then, is it treated as a crime or something that one should be ashamed of? Divorce is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a blessing in disguise which takes you out of the worst phase of your life. Divorce is future-centric and gives a new meaning and purpose to our life, a life which may have become meaningless. We have some great examples of men and women in India and around the world doing incredibly well in their lives after they got divorced. Criticising a person's divorce is the easiest thing people can do, but the one who goes through it knows it's the best decision they could have made for themselves. Marriage is definitely an important part of a person's life but life is not only just about marriage; there is so much more to it than just that. Once you are divorced, people may judge you, doubt your character or even think that you have a mental illness, and if by chance they see you happy, then that will raise a huge question for the so-called society. "Look at him/her; how can he/she be happy?" But that's their thinking and we shouldn't bother at all. Being divorced is much better than being a living corpse. People often give up their life due to unhappy marriages. And you know what? Let's talk about divorce as positively and normally as we talk about marriage. Things don’t always happen as we expect them to, and that’s all right. Live and let others live on their own terms. Spread positivity!

by Akshra Khandelwal Irum Memon's Odyssey From Makeup Artist To Content Creator 26 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement In a world saturated with makeup tutorials and skincare routines, a rising star has managed to captivate hearts and minds with her authentic content and unique perspective. Irum Memon, synonymous with beauty and self-expression, takes us on a mesmerising journey through her evolution as a content creator, makeup artist, and fashion enthusiast. With a story that began unconventionally and blossomed into a creative odyssey, Irum Memon shares her insights, dreams, and advice for aspiring beauty bloggers and creators. "I was never into makeup," Irum confesses with a chuckle. Her memory reflects the days when her mother would encourage her to apply a hint of powder, a ritual she didn't fully embrace. Little did she know that Destiny had a makeup palette waiting for her. The global pandemic brought about an unexpected shift, leading Irum into the beauty world. "Covid made me realise the importance of self-care and self-love," she explains. The enchantment of makeup and skincare products enhancing one's natural beauty and instilling self-confidence became her newfound fascination. Before her ascent as a content creator, Irum Memon wore the hats of a makeup artist and a fashion designer. "What's fashion without makeup?" she ponders. As an accomplished makeup educator, she imparted her wisdom to a league of exceptional students. Online classes became her medium, and the impact was astounding. "I remember my last class had over 100 students," she reminisces. Sharing glimpses of her classes on Instagram unexpectedly paved the way for her content creation journey. Brands she once admired from a distance began knocking on her digital door, transforming her world into a canvas of creativity. The content creation path, Irum asserts, has been nothing short of magical. "My little world of content creation means a lot to me," she says, the passion in her voice palpable. Energy and inspiration flow ceaselessly as she continues to evolve within this dynamic realm. With an influencer status that continues to rise, Irum Memon shares invaluable advice for budding beauty bloggers and creators. "Be yourself!" she exclaims, her words ringing with conviction. Authenticity and a distinctive perspective are the cornerstones of standing out. "Your passion will shine through your work," she assures. Engagement with followers, unwavering consistency, and a thirst for learning are the bedrock of success. But Irum emphasises the need to avoid imitation. "Do something different if you want people to follow you and engage with your content," she wisely advises, igniting the spark of innovation. "I'm not gonna lie, but I love doing makeup," Irum confesses, her enthusiasm contagious. Yet, she acknowledges that skincare holds the reins of her beauty regimen. "Skin comes first," she asserts, underscoring the significance of a healthy canvas for artistic expression. Makeup, to her, is a therapeutic indulgence—a realm where colours and brushes transform not only the face but also the spirit. When asked about her vision for the future, Irum Memon's voice brims with determination. "I want to be a more successful person," she declares. The roadmap she envisions stretches towards pursuing her passion, personally and professionally. Her dream of establishing her own brand gleams brightly. "It's gonna take a lot of effort," she acknowledges, her resolve unwavering. Happiness and self-pride are non-negotiable elements in this envisioned future. "I wanna make myself proud," she states, a testament to her unwavering commitment. Irum Memon's creative journey unfurled years ago as she casually dabbled in content creation. "It was just out of fun," she recalls, reflecting on her humble beginnings. Platforms like TikTok and Musically offered her outlets for creative expression. The unexpected surge of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns fueled her creative flame. As she began crafting videos, a wave of positive responses swept her into the world of content creation. With candid honesty, she shares that the path hasn't been without its share of challenges. "Finding my voice, refining my skills, and building a following took time," she admits. Her advice to fellow creators echoes with wisdom: "Everyone's journey is different." She underscores prioritising impact over follower counts, partnership deals, or monetary gains. "The key is staying true to yourself, creating, and enjoying the process," she asserts, encapsulating the essence of her creative expedition. In the enchanting tale of Irum Memon, beauty is not just skin-deep; it's a journey of self-discovery, passion, and unwavering authenticity. From a makeup artist's brushstrokes to a content creator's innovative reel, her evolution resonates as a testament to the transformative power of creativity. As she looks toward the horizon of possibility, one thing remains certain. This beauty virtuoso will continue to paint the world with her unique hues of inspiration, one captivating content at a time.

By Anushka Sharma Hebajasmi Unveils Captivating New Collection For SS25: A Masterpiece Of Art And Fashion 10 September 2024 FASHION Advertisement As the spotlight shines brightly on Dubai Fashion Week , HEBAJASMI , the Dubai-based couture brand known for its exquisite evening gowns, prepares to unveil its highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 collection titled “State of Art.” Set to debut on the 3rd of September at the D3 Stadium, this collection promises to be a striking representation of the brand’s core principles: quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. Since its inception in 2019, HEBAJASMI has captivated the world of couture with its masterful creations that celebrate femininity through structured, elegant designs. With “State of Art”, the brand continues to elevate its identity by exploring the intersection of fashion and art in new and imaginative ways. A Harmonious Blend of Nature and Surrealism: “State of Art” reflects a sophisticated fusion of nature-inspired abstraction and surrealist influences, creating a visual language that is both bold and poetic. The collection is defined by an interplay of structured embroidery, abstract lace, and a contemporary silhouette that pays homage to the female form. This season, HEBAJASMI’s creative team has skillfully juxtaposed precision-cut designs with flowing volumes to craft garments that are at once sculptural and fluid. The result is a collection that celebrates the duality of structure and nature. While the sharp tailoring accentuates the precision and control of the design, the voluminous fabrics and abstract motifs evoke a sense of organic movement. HEBAJASMI has succeeded in creating pieces that don’t just adorn the body but transform it into a canvas for artistic expression. Design Elements: Abstract Elegance Meets Couture Craftsmanship Central to the “State of Art” collection is HEBAJASMI’s impeccable attention to detail. The collection features key elements such as lace, hand embroidery, and abstract embroidery prints, which add layers of complexity to the overall aesthetic. These design elements are meticulously executed to create an intricate balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern abstraction. In keeping with the theme, the color palette for Spring/Summer 2025 reflects a love for vibrant colors, ranging from soft pastels to bold, saturated hues. The combination of bright and muted tones is reminiscent of nature's ever-changing landscape, where the soft hues of dawn give way to the brilliance of the midday sun. This nuanced use of color highlights the brand’s ability to infuse life into each garment, much like the dramatic hues observed in natural and cultural landscapes. One of the signature aspects of the collection is the exaggerated circular volumes, which are designed to evoke the sense of wearable art pieces. These voluminous silhouettes are not only statement-making but also represent a nod to the brand’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion. Each garment becomes a conversation piece, inviting the wearer and onlookers to engage with it as more than just couture but as art. An Artistic Reflection of Nature, Culture, and Humanity In discussing the inspiration behind the collection, HEBAJASMI explains that State of Art was born from an admiration for the vibrant colors and structures observed in daily life. The collection draws inspiration from the natural world, human artifacts, and cultural elements, weaving these themes into a cohesive fashion narrative. The blend of abstraction and surrealism seen in the garments reflects an exploration of how fashion can mirror the complexity and beauty of the world around us. The collection is an ode to artistic expression in its many forms. By translating the intricate details of nature and the boldness of culture into its designs, HEBAJASMI reaffirms its position as a brand that sees fashion not merely as a medium for creating clothing but as a form of artistic storytelling. Event Details and Anticipation for Dubai Fashion Week Dubai Fashion Week will provide the perfect backdrop for the grand debut of “State of Art”. HEBAJASMI’s show on the 3rd of September is expected to be a highlight of the season, as the brand has consistently delivered shows that are not only visually stunning but also thought-provoking. The event will take place at D3 – Stadium, an iconic venue that aligns with HEBAJASMI’s bold, modern aesthetic. As the fashion industry increasingly moves toward sustainable practices, many are curious to see how HEBAJASMI integrates these values into its newest collection.

by Akash Khatri 5 Oldest & Famous Film Festivals in the World 1 December 2020 FASHION Advertisement Can you imagine a world without movies? Well, I cannot!

by Rupashree Ravi Karishma Kotak Playing Her Innings In Fashion, Sports And Fitness 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Actress, model, and television presenter Karishma Kotak is a well-known face in the entertainment industry. From Bigg Boss to acting in films to hosting the IPL, she has come a long way and has found her path in showbiz. She is also a huge health and fitness enthusiast. In today’s dynamic and ever-changing industry, Karishma Kotak is definitely an all-rounder. Such an industry with immense talent and competition can be difficult for the new generation to leave their mark. “I believe leaving a mark is a personal journey. I don't compare my success to anybody else. A successful Bollywood actress will look at Julia Roberts and think that they're not successful, but they are. I think the industry keeps shifting. Right now, I have done a movie called Ira and I've done a guest appearance in Shaad Ali’s Mister Mummy . But I didn't have this kind of work two years ago. If you're willing to work hard, there will be so many opportunities for you. If you're good, you can get that work. I don't know if I necessarily want to leave a mark on the industry. I'm just happy that I'm working.” When asked about her experience so far as an actress, she said, “I am very busy with anchoring and doing projects in-between. I'm just happy because I think as an artist, you just want to do good work so whether I'm anchoring IPL, whether I'm in Dubai hosting a T10 League, whether I'm doing a movie or shooting for a brand, I'm just happy to be given these opportunities. Because that's the best thing you can do.” Currently, Kotak is working on many different projects. She recently wrapped up the dark web techno-thriller, Ira, and will also be seen portraying a guest role in the film, Mister Mummy . The movie also stars Ritesh and Genelia Deshmukh. Kotak cites Penelope Cruz as her inspiration along with Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She mentioned that her favourite role so far was her guest appearance in Freaky Ali alongside Arbaaz Khaan, Sohail Khan, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. “It was a really fun opportunity. We got to shoot on this beautiful golf course in Pune. It was such a fond memory for me. Although it was just a short cameo, it was a lot of fun and I worked with a great team,” she said. Sharing her views on body shaming and body positivity, she said, “I think there's a lot of pressure on women to look a certain size and a certain way. And I definitely think social media has a huge part to play in it. People need to understand that a lot of celebrities go under the knife to meet unrealistic expectations. I believe if you lose too much weight, it ages your face, and it makes you look older. So, to look youthful, a little bit of plumpness on the face, and a little bit of collagen on the face are needed. There's no such thing as fault reduction. I believe you should learn to enjoy life, but in a balance.” Kotak also left an inspiring message for the younger generation and all her fans . “I think young women and men need to stop putting pressure on themselves to be a size zero or a size two or go on unnecessary keto diets or intermittent fasting. Everybody has a different body and their body reacts to things differently. What works for someone else will not always work out for you. So do the research. Take social media every day in small doses. Remember there's more to life than your weight and your health is the most important aspect. So, thank you to my lovely followers on Instagram and Twitter for following me and for your love and your kindness.” SEARCH Karishma Kotak Playing Her Innings In Fashion, Sports And Fitness COVER STORIES Musings With Maryam Zolghadr COVER STORIES Madhura Naik talks about the Life of an Actress COVER STORIES Kavya Thapar And Her Versatile Acting Career That Cuts Across Regional Lines COVER STORIES Ahsaas Channa Talks About Her Mother Being The Inspiration Behind Her Career COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma 19 October 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma A Journey Of Transformation, Empathy, And Unwavering Passion With Jitin Gulati 11 October 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma Komica Anchal: A Journey Of Perseverance, Passion, And Possibilities 11 September 2024 COVER STORIES By Anushka Sharma From Dream To Reality: The Rise Of Sameer Mark In The Fashion Industry 9 September 2024 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement

by Akash Khatri Winter – Take Care 9 January 2021 FASHION Advertisement The chilly season is back and now is the time to take extra care of your skin. Lack of nourishment can lead to dull, pale and dry skin. Winter weather affects all skin types. Some basics to keep your skin radiant and glowing: MOISTURISE Keep your skin hydrated! The cold winter air pulls moisture from your skin leaving it dry and itchy. Protect the natural oils by using a ceramide-rich cream. Try moisturizers with added vitamin C or vitamin E. For added protection, slip on socks or gloves to help the cream soak in better. A thermostat might suck in the hydration causing dry air which is bad for your skin, use a humidifier to add the moisture back. Hydrate We tend to not feel much thirsty during the cold but our body loses water in so many ways. Keep your body stocked with fluids to avoid the dullness. Health experts recommend drinking at least half a gallon a day. Sweater itch Winter skin is fragile, avoid materials that tend to irritate you as they may result in rashes. If you feel itchy, wear a cotton t-shirt underneath or use softer materials such as cashmere or fleece. Prefer lighter fabrics to synthetic ones. Use lukewarm water Hot water leaves our skin dry and flaky as it washes away the natural hydrating oils. Use lukewarm water, it helps loosen the dirt and also avoids the irritation. Try cutting down on shower time and temperature too, avoid the long hot tempting showers. Change your skincare A light moisturizing lotion might have been sufficient during the sunny summer days but it won’t do any good in the harsh winters. Use heavy rich creams with ingredients such as botanical oil, hyaluronic acid, glycerine, niacinamide and bakuchiol . Though the warm winter sun feels good but the UV rays are still harmful, use a good SPF sunscreen with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Avoid products that contain alcohol as they make your skin dry. Try overnight masks. Layer using a toner, serum and facial oils such as virgin coconut oil or grapeseed oil.

by Aparajita Jaiswal Kyle Wiens’ surreal hiring policies! 27 July 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Kyle Wiens, the CEO of iFixit as well as founder of Dozuki, talks about his hiring policies and especially stresses on basic grammar skills. He believes that not knowing the basic grammar reflects on the applicants learning curve. “Grammar is my litmus test. All applicants say they’re detail-oriented; I just make my employees prove it.” Grammar is a basic requirement for all companies. Wiens, stresses on the fact that he may seem slightly harsh in his hiring policies as grammar may not have anything to do with the applicant’s qualification for the job. The applicant may otherwise be qualified but their lack of grammar skills shows their lack of a present mind. Although he does not seem to agree with Lynne Truss who thinks that people who mix up their itses “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave.” He just thinks that they should be passed over for a job. A mere comma can make all the difference in the world and is he wrong? Everyone who applies for a position at either of Wiens’ companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a mandatory grammar test as they write for a living. iFixit is the world’s largest online repair manual, and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it only makes sense that Wiens made a preemptive strike against groan-worthy grammar errors. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in the office and yet they give out grammar tests to everybody, including their salespeople, operations staff, and the programmers. Kyle Wiens may go as far as to pass on a great programmer who cannot write, even in this hyper-competitive market. He says, “I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing — like stocking shelves or labeling parts. “In the same vein, programmers who pay attention to how they construct written language also tend to pay a lot more attention to how they code. You see, at its core, code is prose.” Wiens reckons to the belief that the devil is in the details. “In fact, when it comes to my whole business, details are everything. And I guarantee that even if other companies aren’t issuing grammar tests, they pay attention to sloppy mistakes on résumés. After all, sloppy is as sloppy does.” Wiens cannot stress enough that applicants who do not think writing is important are likely to think lots of other salient things also are not indispensable. #KyleWiensCEOofiFixitFounderofDozukiiFixitDozukiWriting SEARCH Countdown To History: Omega Unveils Paris 2024 Olympics Countdown Clock And Special Edition Timepiece LIFESTYLE Juggling Law And Fashion: The Inspirational Journey Of Riddhi Nahata, A Multifaceted Influencer LIFESTYLE Join Shruti Yogi On Her Enchanting Journey From Kumkum Bhagya To Wanderlust Saga LIFESTYLE Personal Growth And Relatability: Ishita Khanna's Key To Influencer Success LIFESTYLE 6 Disadvantages Of Being Pretty LIFESTYLE POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma From Dental Drills To Instagram Thrills: The Journey Of Mekhala Bawsay 16 August 2024 LIFESTYLE By Anushka Sharma Juggling Two Worlds: The Inspiring Journey Of Kritika Goel 16 August 2024 LIFESTYLE By Anushka Sharma Kanchan Serai: Balancing The Skies And The Spotlight 15 August 2024 LIFESTYLE By Anushka Sharma Nikita Pawar: From Fashion Design To Digital Stardom 15 August 2024 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement

by Rupashree Ravi Elegance is Everything: How Korean Fashion Has Swept The World 1 August 2022 FASHION Advertisement It is no doubt that elegant, comfortable and classy fashion has become the go-to choice for this young and booming generation. Young adults’ interest and fascination towards growing popular cultures are reflected in their music, food, and fashion choices, to name a few. With the Hallyu wave taking over the world by storm, where Korean cultural practices are gaining popularity and increased overseas attention, K-fashion has found itself a loyal and global fanbase. It has become an international phenomenon that has paved its way into the Indian market too. Simply put, K-fashion or Korean fashion is inspired by the global love for K-pop and K-dramas, which at the moment, appears to be at an all-time high in India. It is a fusion of modern fashion with a tweak of conservative style and is quickly becoming a strong fashion statement all across the world. K-fashion, with its Less is More attitude sets its clothing apart from other fashion trends. From baggy pants, and oversized tops to trench coats and tote bags, K-fashion has got you all covered. This is because the sense of style is an aesthetic that is delicate, yet quite distinctive compared to other cultures. It doesn’t scream, rather it is simple yet minimal and classy. Korean boy band BTS has revolutionized the fashion scene in the country. Whether it is the basic colour palettes of muted and pastel colours like beige and grey, Koreans will flaunt their elegance as they go for a formal yet casual style. High-waisted pants and a luxurious blouse complemented with high heels is the most sought-after look for Korean women. Such an outfit is classy and professional at the same time. They wear blazers with sneakers and still look sophisticated, having an element of intricacy. Korean fashion aesthetics are built around one or two prints, instead of vibrant and energetic colours, which are considered to be less fashionable. Some of their iconic trends are slacks, high waist palazzo pants, denim, miniskirts, jumpsuits, suspenders, polo shirts, straight-cut jeans, padded jackets, and playsuits. “Thanks to its vibrant hues and bold colour combinations, Korean fashion has become a living example of how different clothing styles can suit every taste.” Shin Min-a’s fashion in the hit K-drama, Hometown Cha Cha Cha Son Ye-Jin sporting a classy look in Crash Landing On You A major distinction from western fashion is how Koreans reveal their skin. Since showing off skin is not very common in their culture, they choose a part to flaunt while covering up the rest. For instance, if they wear a pair of shorts, they complement it with an elegant blouse for a formal look. Knee or thigh-high long socks are also very common with dresses. Moreover, their use of accessories like handbags and jewellery. Hair accessories like berets, face caps, hairpins and clips complement beautiful hairstyles by adding a unique and personal touch. Even Korean men flaunt these accessories and completely rock their look. K-pop idols Hongjoong, Kai and G-Dragon are well-known for their iconic fashion statements. This fashion trend, thus, stimulates a graceful aura that is discreet and focused on utmost comfort. K-fashion is a major source of inspiration in the fashion world. The trend has just taken off in India as we see a high demand for these clothing styles. However, with rising popularity and interest in Korean culture and fashion, the best of the Hallyu wave is yet to come. #K -fashion #KoreanFashion #BTS #Hallyu #KoreanWave SEARCH The Rich Heritage of Indian Handloom FASHION Fashion In The 19th Century FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION The Influence Of Kanye West On Fashion FASHION K-Pop Fashion And Its Impact On Global Wardrobe FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma Dubai Fashion Week Day Five: Emerging Talents, Cultural Heritage, And Global Fashion Dialogues 14 September 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Marina Ignjat: A Journey Through Style And Travel 13 September 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Anaya Collection Unveils "Gaudí’s Reverie" At Dubai Fashion Week: A Fusion Of Love, Technique, And Playful Elegance 11 September 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Hebajasmi Unveils Captivating New Collection For SS25: A Masterpiece Of Art And Fashion 10 September 2024 FASHION RELATED POSTS

by Akash Khatri Coping with Confinement 26 July 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement The earlier days of the pandemic caused a furore and great hullabulla. Great chaos everywhere, no school, no maids, work from home and still ambiguous about the situation ahead as we approach towards the end of lockdown four. During this whole topsy turvy journey gradually it seems we have become more human. A transition from a dependant to a more independent working – subtracting the maids and a more gadget-free atmosphere. During this whole transition period, I treasured dormant talent of my personality, as I could steal some time for trying out solo singing, penning down my thoughts to create short stories, experimenting in the kitchen and even nailed the unusual skill of giving men a haircut. Today I had lessons of stitching from my mom-in-law and found that it’s not that tedious and tricky as I had thought, of course, one needs to be lucky to have a good teacher beside you as my MIL is. I tried my hand on tailoring too, thanks to the lockdown. All and all it’s so much fun being indoors with family, doing crazy things and enjoying the nearness, attention as well as helping hand of the spouse. Above all, the level of tolerance has reached its acme and this habit I would always wish could be deep-rooted within me forever. At last, it took a microscopic-organism to make us more human. #LockdownPandemicIndependentConfinement SEARCH Women Empowerment A mere concept or a real Concern SOCIETY Looking Through The Excellence Of ‘Jaali’ Architecture SOCIETY Why the Gender Pay Gap is Wide and Disturbing SOCIETY Festival of Stones SOCIETY The Pygmalion Effect SOCIETY POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma Uniting Voices, Shaping Futures: Dive Into Mun 2.0 At NIT Patna 8 September 2024 SOCIETY By Anushka Sharma These Healthy Habits Can Lower Your Risk Of Depression 31 August 2024 SOCIETY By Rini Pathak A Glance In The Kshitij’23: A Euphoric Escapade 26 January 2024 SOCIETY By Rini Pathak Mithibai Kshitij: Epitome Of Diverse Social Cause Empowerment 24 January 2024 SOCIETY RELATED POSTS
