NOV/DEC/JAN 24-2025 | EDITORS NOTE
We’ve always believed that building a legacy is something one tirelessly works toward and as we continue to shape ours, we have paused to reflect on some of the world’s most revered fashion houses in this issue. This edition honours our journey and the art of couture—if you flip through the pages, you’ll find some of the finest couture brought to life through fashion editorials set against magnificent backdrops–from the opulence of the Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad to the cool streets of Paris. Furthermore, our friend and journalist Manish Mishra has beautifully documented the journeys of some of the iconic global fashion brands by diving into the lives and visions of their creative directors. Through his words, we’re given a glimpse of what it means to helm a legacy–preserving history while pushing boundaries. Manish has also chronicled some of the most memorable fashion magazine covers that created history. We also have Anita Khatri—who has penned pieces on two world-class watchmakers Cartier and Franck Muller—celebrating the rich heritage of the brands. Additionally, we have Anjan Sachar delving into the importance of Oud as an ingredient in fragrances and Kaviya Sneha giving us a glimpse into a life without leaving behind digital footprints.
Additionally, we’ve connected with some of the industry’s most influential voices, presenting their inspiring work through exclusive interviews. Their creative journeys, just like ours, are stories of passion, resilience, and artistry, and we hope you’ll enjoy reading them as much as we do.
Our cover star for this issue, the dynamic diva Rakul Preet Singh, brings her own magic to this celebration. She resonates with our philosophy, constantly pushing boundaries and taking on new challenges. From her career as a celebrated actor to her passion for fitness and her latest venture as an entrepreneur, Rakul’s journey mirrors our own values of determination and evolution. She’s the perfect face for this milestone issue–representing the same drive and spirit we uphold.
We’ve also taken a moment to reflect on some of the most glamorous Diwali parties we recently organised and attended. In addition, you’ll find curated mood boards filled with fashion and style inspiration to help you plan the holiday season. Speaking of holidays, don’t miss our story on our recent sojourn in London—a city that continues to inspire us.
As the festive season sets in, we hope this issue becomes a cherished part of your traditions, bringing a sense of joy, warmth and delight to your celebrations.
Cheers!
