There is a moment most people who care about clothes eventually arrive at. It usually happens while standing in front of a wardrobe full of things and feeling like there is nothing to wear. The problem is almost never quantity. It is almost always quality — or rather, the absence of a philosophy behind what was bought and why. Building a luxury wardrobe is not about spending more. It is about spending with intention. It is the difference between accumulating and curating. Bet

Michael Kors has opened a new flagship store at Beijing China World, one of the Chinese capital's most prominent retail destinations. The 3,500-square-foot store introduces the brand's latest global retail concept to Asia and debuts the world's first Jet Set Lounge café — a format previously seen in Michael Kors flagships in New York and London but never before in Asia and never before with a café component. The Store The Beijing flagship spans 3,500 square feet and is design

CaratLane, India's leading omnichannel fine jewellery brand, has opened its second US store in Frisco, Texas, within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The 1,200-square-foot boutique is the brand's second American location after its debut store in New Jersey and carries more than 2,000 designs in natural diamonds and silver diamond jewellery, with prices starting at 49 US dollars. The Store and What It Carries The Frisco boutique stocks a curated assortment specifically selecte

Fashion trends in 2026 are being shaped by more than runway shows. From the slowdown of fast fashion to the quiet rise of AI in design, the rules of style are changing at a structural level — and knowing what's ahead gives you an edge in building a wardrobe that actually works. Whether you're a conscious consumer looking to invest in fewer, better pieces, or someone who loves self-expression and statement looks, this guide breaks down the eight biggest style shifts defining 2

Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, and designer Amit Aggarwal took the runway at Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI on March 21st in Mumbai with Orizon, a collaboration that brought sculptural fashion and Polki jewellery into a single, unified presentation. The show was built around one idea: that heritage does not constrain but equips, and that tradition is most powerful when it is treated as a living language rather than a fixed reference. Orizon unfolds as a journey from shadow to li

Aisha Rao showed her Spring Summer 2026 collection Inter-Hana on March 21st at Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI in Mumbai, with 360 ONE as the presenting sponsor. The Hyderabad-based designer has built a consistent reputation for collections where the making process is as deliberate as the finished garment, and Inter-Hana continued that line of thinking with a collection rooted in cultural dialogue, in-house material development and a specific artistic reference that ran through eve

Anamika Khanna had the last word on Day 1. Closing the opening evening of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI on March 20th in Mumbai, her AK|OK collection brought the night to an end with a runway that felt considered, personal, and very much its own thing. The starting point for the collection was an idea rather than a trend: the quiet beauty of something that feels out of place. A flower growing where it does not belong. From that image, Khanna built a collection w

For weddings and special occasions that demand both polish and comfort, LANGUAGE® has introduced a men's wedding footwear collection built around three distinct styles, each designed with a specific occasion and sensibility in mind. The Stellan Monk leads the collection with hand-painted detailing and classic brogue accents. It is designed for the groom who wants something with individual character rather than a straightforward formal shoe, and it brings a considered finish t

Archana Aggarwal Timeless Jewellery has introduced a new collection of rings, hand chains, necklaces, and bracelets, with the Bulbul as the centerpiece around which the broader range is built. The collection is available at the brand's flagship showroom at Ambawatta One, Mehrauli, New Delhi, and through the brand's website. The Bulbul is a piece that the brand describes as its emblematic masterpiece, and the new collection draws from its material and visual language to create

Lacoste's Fall-Winter 2026 collection opens with a history lesson worth paying attention to. On July 31, 1923, René Lacoste was mid-match against Spain's Manuel de Gomar in a Davis Cup round in Deauville when rain flooded the court. Spectators threw newspapers on the grass to speed drying. Players waited. The match stretched to two days. Lacoste won in four sets. Creative Director Pelagia Kolotouros builds the entire collection on that pause, not the victory but the waiting.

Khushi Kumar presented her runway debut on 21 February 2026 at Fashion Scout’s Ones to Watch showcase during London Fashion Week. The show took place at Protein Studios in Shoreditch, London. The eight-look collection, titled Kalanta — The House Awakens , examined ideas of protection, identity, and continuity through structured silhouettes and textile references drawn from Indian ceremonial dress. The collection combined sculpted corsetry, oversized tailoring, and fluid garme

Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna’s Spring Summer Couture 2026 collection, titled Abyssal , develops its visual and structural language through references to deep-sea environments. The collection continues the designers’ long-standing interest in architectural construction, material layering, and controlled ornamentation within couture. The garments are built around structured silhouettes that prioritise form before surface detail. Tailoring, internal reinforcement, and pattern c

Victorinox is strengthening its watch business in India, shifting its positioning from a general accessory offering to a more focused presence in Swiss watchmaking. The brand, established more than 140 years ago and widely known for the Swiss Army Knife, is reinforcing its watchmaking credentials through its manufacturing base in Delémont, Switzerland. The company’s Watch Competence Centre in Delémont spans 17,800 square metres and has housed its consolidated watchmaking oper

There is an economy of silence in luxury: a set of houses that keep their mouths shut about price, refuse to run sales, and let their products do the talking. Call it stubbornness, call it arrogance, call it strategy—the result is the same. A Hermès Birkin, a Chanel Classic Flap, a Rolex Submariner, or a Patek Philippe Nautilus rarely, if ever, surfaces in a “sale” window. They are governed by a single, simple rule: price is an expression of meaning, and meaning must not be b

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has entered the fine jewellery space with the launch of Tamannaah Fine Jewellery , a contemporary fine jewellery brand built around the idea of everyday luxury. Marking her move into entrepreneurship as both founder and creator, the brand blends modern design, craftsmanship, and jewellery designed to be worn beyond special occasions.

Designed as a departure from conventional warehouse-style luxury stores, Nuvrah brings together couture, bridal, occasion, and contemporary fashion within an environment that encourages discovery, pause, and engagement.

When Rahul Mishra made his Paris Haute Couture Week debut in 2018, the landscape was still largely defined by Eurocentric heritage houses. His arrival introduced a distinctly different voice to the couture calendar, one rooted in Indian craft traditions, folk philosophies, and a deeply embedded artisan ecosystem. Over the years, collections such as Superheroes and Becoming Love established his reputation for narrative-driven couture that moves beyond surface aesthetics into

Maison Rami Kadi presented its Spring Summer 2026 couture collection, Elementa , in Meise, Belgium, unveiling a body of work shaped by the elemental forces of nature. Drawing from fire, water, earth, wind, and life, the collection explores how couture can express movement, transformation, and material intensity through form, surface, and craftsmanship. The collection unfolds through silhouettes that balance structure and fluidity. Sculptural forms are softened by layered cons

Dubai-born womenswear label Sands Fashion House presents Sunday Club , a collection shaped around the quieter rhythms of everyday life. Moving away from the playful energy of its debut, this new chapter leans into calm, comfort, and clothes designed to be worn without effort or occasion. Sunday Club is rooted in the small, familiar moments that define personal time. Morning coffee on a balcony, a slow walk in the afternoon, unplanned hours that don’t need styling. The colle

Delhi-based fashion label House of Mayah has released its latest collection, continuing its focus on relaxed silhouettes and a design language that prioritises movement, comfort, and longevity. The collection builds on the brand’s established aesthetic, favouring clothes designed for regular wear rather than seasonal statement dressing. The label is led by Deepali Mathur , Founder and Creative Designer, whose background spans fashion education at NIFT Delhi and further train
