JAN/FEB/MAR 2025 | EDITORS NOTE
And just like that, we turn seven. Each year takes us back to the moment we decided to start this magazine—a digital-first platform that eventually evolved into print. It reminds us of the core values we’ve held onto since day one: to tell meaningful and impactful fashion stories. But this year, we wanted to go beyond just storytelling. We aimed to tell stories that truly matter—ones that will resonate a decade from now. And who better to embody this sentiment than our cover stars? Karan Johar, India’s leading filmmaker, has continually raised the bar with his films, crafting stories and characters that linger in our hearts. Joining him is Vedang Raina, a rising star carving his own path with a vision to create a lasting legacy as an actor and entertainer.
This issue further celebrates visionaries who inspire. From celebrity photographer Charlie Gray redefining portraiture to Bill Bensley’s whimsical architecture, and Yolonda Frederick’s inspiring journey as a celebrity make-up artist—each story is a gem. Acclaimed writers like Manish Mishra, Anita Khatri, Anjan Sachar, and Kaviya Sneha explore topics ranging from digital identity theft and the future of beauty to Rolex’s timeless appeal, iconic fashion memorabilia, and global fashion-art collaborations.
From Falguni Shane Peacock’s atelier, two couture editorials take centre stage, drawing inspiration from Jaipur’s regal heritage and the timeless grandeur of Falaknuma Palace. Additionally, we’ve curated a list of forts, palaces, and monuments that have shaped our creative mood board over the years.
As we step into a new year, we are immensely grateful for your unwavering love and support. Thank you for being part of this journey!
Cheers!
