Siya Wahal’s Wedding: A Bride Who Wore Her Own Story Through Isa by Dolly Wahal

There’s something incredibly special about a bride who chooses to wear her own designs on her wedding day. For Siya Wahal, co-founder of Isa by Dolly Wahal, this wasn’t just a fashion choice—it was deeply personal. Her wedding became a natural extension of her journey, blending love, memory, and the creative language she has spent years building. Hosted across Mumbai and Delhi, the celebrations were thoughtfully intimate, never overwhelming. Siya and her partner, after years of long distance and busy individual lives, wanted their wedding to feel intentional—something that reflected who they are rather than what was expected.

Ranveer Singh Just Confirmed: The Bandhgala Is the Only Occasion Wear That Matters Right Now

There's a particular kind of confidence that comes with wearing something that knows exactly what it is. No apologies, no overexplanation. Just structure, fabric, and the quiet authority of a silhouette that has outlasted every trend that ever tried to replace it. Ranveer Singh understood this perfectly when he walked into the NMACC third-anniversary gala — and for once, the most daring thing he did was show restraint in his statement bandhgala. A Look That Said Everything by Saying Very Little The man who once showed up to an airport in what appeared to be a court jester's fever dream arrived at this particular pink carpet in a custom Anamika Khanna bandhgala, and somehow that felt more radical. Deep, ink-black, fine pure wool. An open collar fastened with handcrafte...

From Dreamy Saree to Power Tuxedo—Alia Bhatt Owned the Night Twice

And yet again, Alia Bhatt proves why she remains as the undisputed style queen of Bollywood. For the recent Star Screen Awards in Mumbai, the actor got the internet talking as she championed two looks by Gaurav Gupta. The two designers, who look poles apart in spirit, moved seamlessly from soft, romantic elegance to sharp, commanding power dressing as she stepped into her role as the evening’s host. The flawless transition between the two looks was a detailed study in fashion duality. It was a showcase of how a single evening can hold two different style identities.

The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Right Kurta For Your Skin Tone

A kurta can look beautiful on the rack and still not feel right once you wear it. That usually happens because the colour may be trending, but it may not be the one that brings out your skin tone best. This is exactly why so many women get confused while choosing kurtas for daily wear, festive dressing, or family occasions. The simple answer is this: warm skin tones usually look best in earthy, mustard, rust, coral, and warm reds, cool skin tones often suit blues, pinks, berry shades, and cooler greens, while neutral skin tones can carry both warm and cool colours quite well. Once you understand that, choosing the right kurta becomes much easier. At Rain & Rainbow, we believe colour should make you feel comfortable, confident, and naturally well dressed, not overthought. In this gu...

What is the Difference Between Kurti and Kurta?

When searching for the ethnic wear online or offline, kurtis and kurtas are the two most bought options, be it for daily wear wardrobe, or for a festive or special occasion. But, do you know kurtis and kurtas are not interchangeable terms, and stands for two different options. Yes, a kurti is usually shorter, let’s say till knee length or above knee length.

From Temple Walls to Couture Runways: The Unstoppable Rise of Pichwai Art in Indian Fashion

Long before it graced bridal lehengas and runway sarees, Pichwai art served a sacred purpose. Originating nearly 400 years ago in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, these elaborate cloth paintings were created as backdrops for the idol of Shrinathji — a form of Lord Krishna — inside the revered Haveli temple. The word itself tells the story: 'pichh' means 'behind' and 'wai' means 'hanging'. Each Pichwai was painted by artists of the Jangad and Gauda castes using natural pigments derived from lapis lazuli, indigo, copper acetate, and mercury sulphide, applied with brushes made of goat and squirrel hair. Themes ranged from Krishna's Rasleela and the Gopashtami to the iconic Giriraja – Krishna lifting the Govardhan mountain – and the Morbuti, depicting twelve peacocks in a mesmerising dance. T...
