Independent fashion labels have invented a whole new way of dressing well in India “This brand does not define you. But damn you look good in it.” Preeti Verma’s postscript-like message, imprinted on the tag of every one of her fashion label Runaway Bicycle’s floaty, sorbet products, echoes the sort of sweet and sassy exchange that forms the heart of female friendships: “N’aww! Really? It’s not too tight?” The December newsletter of Nicobar—the young offshoot of Indian luxury giant Good Earth—exhorts subscribers to “Give us a cuddle” with a softly de-saturated grid of their cocoon-like winter silhouettes, alongside Maasai-inspired kulhars that evoke endless winter-sun-soaked chai sessions. It’s all you can do to not daintily sigh at your inbox. A growing number of independent fashion labels, such as Runaway Bicycle and Nicobar, have created a new niche of Indian designer-wear, offering, for instance, an ethically-sourced, lovingly-crafted, whimsy-rich box dress for littl...

Looks to look ready for the new year These 10 make-up and hair trends will have you feeling refreshed while ushering in 2017. Fret not if you haven't been keeping up with the beauty trends. Here are some looks for the new year, from make-up to hairstyles, inspired by the Spring/Summer 2017 fashion shows. 1. POP OF COLOUR Instead of wearing striking coloured clothes or accessories, try making a bold statement with your make-up . The look is popular on the runways, with neon yellow eyebrows and electric blue eyeliner as examples. They may be too adventurous for some, but you can stick to one special touch for a simpler look. Famous make-up artist Pat McGrath said in Allure: "It is all about one bold element on clean skin." 2. ALL THAT GLITTER Looks like the glitter you used for your artwork in school can be used on your lips as well. Fashion houses Fendi and DKNY worked the glitter on the lips of their models this season, elevating their looks from norm...

5 STEPS TO ACHIEVE A FLAWLESS LOOK FOR FALL 1. Start off with a dewy base for the skin and air brush it for a natural and flawless look. 2. Move onto to the eyes by applying an eye primer starting from the eyelid to the brow bone upwards. Apply a beige matte shadow with an orange undertone and blend it towards the outer corner of the eyes. Use the same shadow on the lower rim and blend it well. 3. Comb the brows, shape them with a brown brow pencil and blend them in softly with a brow brush. Next, apply a liquid eyeliner on the lash line and the coat the eyelashes with black mascara. 4. Blend in a soft peach matte blush from the apple of the cheeks towards the temple. 5. Use a soft creamy baby pink lip colour on your face to add just the right amount of tint onto your lips. Finish the look with a spritz of moisture water on the face.

2016: The year fashion finally grew up At times, fashion can feel like the Gigi Hadid show. That is, when it's not feeling like the Kendall Jenner show. Thanks to effervescent and relentless use of social media, these two young models have dominated 2016 - so much so that it's easy to forget they have a combined age of only 42. Yes, Kendall and Gigi are half the age of the average customer who buys the products they are paid millions to endorse. Happily for those women who will never feel inspired by a grinning selfie of Gigi in a crop top, change is afoot. You just have to know where to look for it - and that is most definitely not Instagram. Elsewhere, you see, 2016 has been a remarkably cheering year for grown-up fashion, modelled by actual grown-ups. In January, Sophia Loren, 81, appeared in a perfume advertisement for Dolce & Gabbana. In February, Bette Midler, 71, was cast in a Marc Jacobs beauty campaign. In March, Jane Birkin, 69...

So long, pyjama dressing - and other fashion trends we hope won't be back for a while The year 2016 has given us plenty of memorable fashion moments. The pant suit  won the clothing industry's equivalent of Time magazine's Person of the Year thanks to its biggest proponent, Hillary Clinton.  Active wear continued its march towards black tie acceptability, although not everyone was impressed  . As far as colours, pink was back in vogue , while yellow starred at Fashion Week Australia  (and then in Beyonce's Lemonade in all its baseball bat-swinging glory). Looking towards next year, green is back with a bang, while winter will see  plenty of velvets   in navies and blacks. But before we round the corner into 2017, let's take a look back at the fashion trends of 2016 we hope will quietly die over the summer. Pyjama dressing A trend more divisive than The   Bachelorette finale , celebrities such as Rihanna  f...
