How gender fluid fashion is changing the discourse in the industry
Fashion has conventionally been divided in two broad sectors – women’s wear and menswear. But talking about fashion and convention in one line itself is an oxymoron. Fashion has no form; it takes shape of the time it lives in with influence from cultural, social and political-scape of the world. No wonder then that gender fluid fashion has been creating waves in seismic proportions across the fashion and creative fraternity. The clear demarcation between menswear and women’s wear is blurring. There is a new breed of innov ..read more

Ahmedabad has witnessed more than 800+ exhibitions in 2017 alone; a number strongly indicative of the fact that the city is changing the way it shops. The standalone stores are not the only go-to options for the new breed of fashionistas. They want to explore more, maybe in a set-up that allows them to browse through with their girl-friends without having the pressure to buy, unlike in a regular store where the sales girl is after your life to buy that ‘latest style’…
Weekend Window, started by Meera Ambasana Shah and Harshit Shah, is that fashion phenomenon that is all-embracing – regardless ..read more

If you have been following fashion news, there are chances that you would have come across buzzwords like slow fashion, sustainable fashion and ethical fashion. International designers and labels have been on the sustainable band wagon since about three decades now. In India, the movement is gaining momentum, albeit in the marginal elitist fashion aficionados.
So before you head out and make the purchase under either of three labels- slow fashion, sustainable fashion and ethical fashion, here’s a breakdown of what do these terminologies mean and why do they exist…

Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance
And it don’t walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
Honey’s sweet
But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat
And if you pardon me
I’d like to say
We’ll do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And bury them beneath the sea
I don’t care what the people may say
What the people may say about me
Pack Up your troubles get your old grin back
Don’t worry bout the cavalry
I don’t care what the whisperers say
Cos they whisper too loud for me

‘Art is either plagiarism or revolution’
Paul Gaugin
Digital revolution has been the biggest boon and the bane of 21st century society. Our brain is over-exposed to a high decibel of information from various platforms throughout the day – be it print, digital, radio or electronic medium. We have the luxury of reading about the Cannes Festival or IIFA awards in real time while leisurely browsing through the next vacation destinations at the click of a button.

Past is as elusive as the future.
Always yearned for, almost always distorted and yet amusingly beautiful. It takes you back in time with the blink of an eye and paints those days with the sepia tones- the times when everything seemed more simpler than today, only but in thoughts.
Yes, nostalgia does that to you. Takes you for a trip down the memory lane, somewhere in the old dilapidated city areas while you reminiscence the fading beauty of the old world charm.
I am a sucker for all things old, vintage and beautiful. Old movies from the yesteryear’s, especially from the 70’s, are my persona ..read more

Fashion reflects the times we live in.
The perennial changes in style, be it a puff here and a nip there, flared hemlines or tapered cuts, are more often than not influenced by the social, economical, political and cultural changes in the society. The 20’s flapper dress was symbolic to women’s liberation and the first wave of feminism, the 60’s bohemian prints and bell bottoms were indicative of the counter culture movement whereas 90’s was focused on relaxed jeans and basic tee shirts- a sign of minimalism(Oh , don’t roll your eyes )
In the current times, gender fluid fashion is on the ..read more

Haven’t we all fashion lovers drooled over the latest runway looks while secretly wishing for a genie to grant us the wish to own all of it? If it was a movie, Richard Gere would have come to the rescue in best case scenario or on not-so-sunny days, one would have gone broke like Rebecca Bloomwood from ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’.
But real life is a tad different. One struggles with the dilemma of avoiding the credit card bill nightmare while consciously pushing away the nagging feeling of being unable to shop that ‘Oh so Diva-esque’ look.
What if we gave you a cheat sheet to shop smart and ..read more
