From Village Courtyards to Celebrity Closets: The Phulkari Comeback You Didn’t See Coming

Hopelessly in love with the phulkari embroidery? Well, long before fashion weeks and designer labels, there was Phulkari. And trust me, it needed no dramatic runways and couture shows to be extraordinary. Phulkari, from the Punjabi "phul" (flower) and "kari" (work), translates simply to "flower work." But there is nothing simple about it. It is Punjab's most intimate art form: conceived by women, carried by women, and passed between generations. The same way gold jewellery or whispered prayers are passed with fierce and quiet devotion.  Stitched Into History  Some historians believe the style was popular as long ago as the 7th century, with a biography of Indian emperor Harshavardhana describing people "embroidering flowers and leaves on the cloth from the reverse side" — which preci...

Sorry, Mini. Spring 2026 Officially Belongs to the Maxi Dress

For seasons, fashion obsessed over the leg — micro-minis, thigh-grazing hemlines, and barely-there silhouettes ruled every runway, reel, and Pinterest board. But trends rarely stay still for long. Now, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, and fashion feels like it’s finally taking a deep breath. There’s a growing appetite for clothing that feels slower, softer, and more intentional. Comfort is no longer an afterthought — it’s the starting point. And nothing captures this shift better than hemlines dropping dramatically to the floor, bringing with them a sense of ease that feels both modern and timeless. Yes, we are talking about the hero of the spring summer season: maxi dress.

However, what holds many brides back is the draping challenge. Sarees are all fun until you’re expected to master perfect pleats and navigate a maze of pins without a second thought.  But what if you could embrace the refined elegance of a saree ...
