The New Delhi Native Talks Animal Prints And Sensual, Feminine Wear

The elevator doors part on New Delhi native Nakul Sen in a one-tone palette, a far cry from the patterned scarves, colourful tops and stripy creations of Sen’s other foreign contemporaries. The kurta with a mandarin collar, the fitted Nehru jacket and loose dhoti – it’s all entirely black and effortlessly chic, the look finished [...]
The Goddess Of Ethical Fashion On Her Label And Giving Back To Her Country

She has an air of quiet purpose, cool as marble. It’s not enough to say that internationally acclaimed model-turned-designer Bibi Russel has presence – she’s got gravitas. And why wouldn’t she?

It’s that brilliant smile of his and maybe that’s why some of our local gliterati are gushing over how good looking he is – incidentally, the demand for Sri Lankan men has spiked in Pakistan. Unfortunately for these covetous ladies, Ajay is happily married to his half Sri Lankan, [...]
