Heatwave alert in Mumbai: 7 essential fashion tips to beat the heat

While the winter season in India is nearing its end, Mumbai is already witnessing high temperature and humidity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heatwave alert for Mumbai and neighbouring areas on Tuesday and Wednesday due to rising temperatures,  If you have plans to step out of your home in this weather, it is essential to dress comfortably, in order to protect yourself from the heat. Here are some fashion essentials you can follow on a hot day. Loose clothing: It is advisable to opt for loose fits and light-weight clothing that does not cling to your body and allows the skin to breathe. Baggy jeans with simple tees or flowy dresses can be ideal options. If you want to protect your skin from tanning and sun exposure, maxi dresses and long-sleeved outfits can be chosen.  Breathable fabrics: Cotton is the best fabric choice for a hot day. Other breathable fabrics that you can choose include linen and khadi. Synthetic fabrics have poor sweat absorption and can trap heat, making you feel warmer. Light colours: Choose lighter hues like white, yellow and pastel colours on a hot day. These tend to reflect sunlight, thus keeping you cool, while darker colours like black and blue absorb more sunlight. Breathable footwear: Opt for slippers or open-toed sandals that allow your feet to breathe. Avoid boots and shoes that can make your feet sweat. Accessories: Wear or carry essential accessories like sunglasses and hats/caps that can protect you from the excessive heat outside. Skip heavy jewellery and other accessories to ensure comfort.  Hair: If you have long hair, you can tie them in a bun or ponytail to prevent them from falling on your neck and face, to avoid sweating. Sun protection: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the harsh sunlight and heat. Also Read: Beat the heat in style: Your guide to summer fashion

Fusion fever: The indo-fusion festive style guide

Festivals are the perfect opportunity for fashion enthusiasts to express their individual taste through unexpected combinations that resonate with both cultural roots and contemporary aesthetics. The growing trend of blending traditional Indian wear with contemporary Western pieces takes centre stage. For those who wish to channel their unique personalities, fusion fits allow them to experiment with textures, palettes, and modern silhouettes. We’ve got fashion gurus to share expert tips, and simple hacks to help you curate an eye-catching festive wardrobe. Picture oversized kurtas with dhoti pants, and versatile outfits pairing western tops with intricate embroidery, and much more. Break away from conventional styles, indulge in self-expression to create looks that are as vibrant as the festival itself. 5 expert styling tips for curating Indo-Western looks “When it comes to styling an Indo-Western look for Navratri, it’s all about the play of contrasts - bringing together the grace of traditional Indian wear with a touch of modern silhouettes and adding your personality to it,” says Raghav Agarwal, CEO and creative director of Twamev. Below, he shares five expert styling tips:  1. Draping: Although highly underrated, draping can truly elevate an outfit, giving it a unique silhouette. There’s something magical about the way a fluid drape can flatter the body.  2. Heritage embellishments with a modern edge:  It’s fascinating how intricate embroidery and mirror work can feel traditional yet contemporary when done right. The contrast of metallic threadwork against soft fabrics gives you that extra edge. 3. Effortless versatility: It’s essential for outfits to transition smoothly from day to night.  Try opting for pieces that offer that easy shift - because celebrations can be spontaneous, and so should your outfit. 4. Play on textures and layers: Styling is all about layering - whether it’s a statement cape, a structured jacket, or a chic blouse. It adds dimension, which can really make an outfit stand out.  5. Add a touch of customisation: Accessories are where you can truly express yourself. I love how a statement belt or layered jewellery can transform a look—adding personality and flair.  Choose outfits that are designed to be versatile, making them easy to customise and style in a way that feels uniquely yours. Festive textures and palette While global fashion trends hop from muted tones like butter yellow to earthy shades like mocha mousse, India’s colour palette remains eternally vibrant, rich, and deeply rooted in tradition. “Diana Vreeland, the former editor of Vogue, once famously remarked, ‘Pink is the navy blue of India.’ Bright pink, in particular, is a standout shade that serves as the perfect foundation for any festive ensemble, allowing for both warm and cool-toned pairings depending on personal style. Instead of adhering to conventional colour combinations, I believe in embracing the freedom of colour play—pairing pink with bold hues like yellow, green, red, purple, or blue creates a striking and joyous statement that reflects the essence of Indian festivities,” poses Shivang Chandna, founder and creative director of Past Modern.When asked which fabrics should we keep an eye out for, the style guru shares, “When it comes to fabric choices for festive wear, I naturally gravitate towards silks for their luxurious sheen and timeless appeal. However, given India’s diverse climate, breathable alternatives like cotton, cotton-silk blends, and chiffon are equally elegant options that ensure comfort without compromising on sophistication.” He bats for Indian textiles, particularly Bandhani, which holds a special place in his heart. “Each piece of Bandhani fabric is unique, thanks to its intricate tie-dye technique, and the blend of vivid colours and detailed patterns creates a mesmerising visual feast. This handcrafted textile is a true maximalist delight, celebrating heritage while allowing for modern styling. At its core, Indian fashion is about joy, self-expression, and breaking away from rigid fashion norms. Whether through bold colour-blocking, experimenting with contrasting textures, or draping traditional fabrics in contemporary ways, the beauty of Indian dressing lies in its versatility,” concludes Chandna.  5 fusion fits to try this Navaratri Lehengas, chaniya, choli, kurtis with traditional Indian embroideries are all the rage, but many fashion enthusiasts are experimenting by adding contemporary Western elements to their traditional outfits. “The combination of the east and west silhouettes not just ignites curiosity amidst people but also blends comfort and utility, drapery and form - resulting in a look that is striking yet wearable for modern festive celebrations,” says Chandna. To help you blend traditional pieces with modern staples, he shares five fusion styles to create a chic yet culturally rooted look. 1. Ghagra and a crisp white shirt: A bold hued ghagra or chaniya paired with a well-fitted white shirt creates a flattering fit-and-flare silhouette, offering a blend of structure and flow. 2. Short kurti, denim, and sneakers: A delicately embroidered short kurti or one crafted from traditional fabrics like Bandhani paired with wide-leg denim and sneakers makes for a relaxed yet stylish ensemble. 3. Banarasi brocade dress: A simple yet elegant Banarasi brocade or Mashru silk dress can stand out as a contemporary festive statement piece. 4. Oversized men’s kurta with dhoti pants: Crop an oversized men’s kurta in length and pair it with dhoti pants for an effortlessly stylish and gender-fluid look. 5. Dupatta as a statement top: Get creative with a traditional dupatta or stole—drape it into a chic top and pair it with a skirt for a unique Indo-western ensemble. Accessorise to kill Now that you’ve got an idea of the outfits you will don, why not have a bit of fun with accessories to complete your fusion OOTD. “The right accessories pull everything together, making your Navratri outfit stand out with minimal effort,” says Agarwal. He outlines simple accessories to complete the look and add personality to any outfit.  Waist belts and chainsA sleek belt or a delicate kamarbandh can add structure to flowy outfits and enhance the overall silhouette.Mix traditional with contemporary jewelleryPair statement jhumkas with an ear cuff or layer a choker with minimal chains for a balanced fusion look.Ditch the classic juttiSwap juttis for embroidered block heels or strappy sandals to keep it stylish yet comfortable.Potlis and clutchesA classic potli with mirror work or a sleek clutch adds the final touch without overpowering the outfit.

Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI 2025, a fashion extravaganza that commenced on Wednesday at Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, culminated on Sunday with a one-of-a-kind gala celebrating the evolution of Indian fashion. Over 30 renowned designers showcased pieces from their archival collections to honour the 25-year journey of the fashion event.

He passed away on November 1, 2024, at the age of 63. During the gala, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan spoke about "embarking on a new chapter" with Lakmé. "Whether it was walking the ramp when I was size zero or Taimur in my belly, whether it was size 10 or 12, that never mattered. What mattered was my heart was on the stage with Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI in October 2024, with each and every designer I've walked for,” she said. "I'm back again with the Lakmé family. Hopefully, I will be back on the ramp with all my favourite designers wearing their outfits, maybe not as size zero but owning it completely," she further stated. The actor also gave a shout-out to the unseen and often unnamed people who work round-the-clock to make fashion shows a reality. The event was hosted by American actor of Indian origin Kal Penn. As reported by PTI, the designers who presented looks from their previous Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI clothing lines were: Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, Falguni Shane Peacock, Ritu Beri, Gauri & Nainika, Varun Bahl, Monisha Jaising, Ashish N Soni, Narendra Kumar Ahmed, Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Raw Mango, Pankaj & Nidhi, Alpana & Neeraj, Namrata Joshipura, Shantnu Nikhil, Bhibhu Mohapatra, Rina Dhaka, Amit Aggarwal, Rahul Mishra, Anshu Arora, Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva, Gaurav Gupta, Suneet Verma, Nalini Ramani, Anita Dongre, JJ Valaya, and Anamika Khanna, who opened this year's fashion week last Wednesday.

LFW 2025, Day 3: Kutch artisans blend tradition with contemporary aesthetics

Five artisans from Kutch showcased their creations in a show presented by Somaiya Kala Vidya at Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI on Friday. The creations reflected their expertise in Ajrakh print, Mashru weave, and Bandhani and Batik crafts. Poetic commentary and the beat of live Kutchi music elevated the show as models walked down the ramp. With Ajrakh as the centre of attraction, Zaid Khatri’s ‘Eternal Ajrakh’ collection from his label ‘Ajrakh Gharana’ was a journey from the past to the present, and then into the future. Collection by Zaid Khatri Zaid stated, “For me, Ajrakh is not just a print; it is a legacy that transcends time. This is the very craft that was embraced by the Indus Valley Civilisation and is cherished even today with pride. Yet, one question has always stayed with me—can tradition and modernity coexist? Can Ajrakh, which is eternal, also become a symbol of contemporary identity?” The collection combined traditional block printing with new silhouettes and modern designs. Next, Amruta Vankar’s collection featured the craft of expert weaving for her label ‘Alaicha’. Alaicha, which means Mashru in Kutchi, is an intricate weave popular for centuries. The distinct dotted pattern was the highlight of the weave, which has been a favourite for the ghagras and saris of the Ahir and Rabari women in Kutch. Collection by Amruta Vankar Talking about the creations, Amruta shared, "After my education in design and learning to stay true to my craft, I realised that Mashru weaving is more than a craft – it's a cultural identity intricately woven into fabric. Through innovative silhouettes, minimalist aesthetics and a refined colour palette, I've reinterpreted Mashru into bold, stylish designs for the showcase.” Concentrating on Ajrakh, artisan Mubbasirah Khatri designed the ‘Anatomy’ collection for the label ‘Elysian’. Going for an earthy palette of blue, black, red, off-white and khaki – popular colours in traditional Ajrakh work – the designer worked with abstract patterns that aligned with the design philosophy. Collection by Mubbasirah Khatri Sharing the inspiration behind her collection, Mubbasirah said, “I am inspired by nature. This time, I wanted to do something different, yet stay connected to nature, so I chose Anatomy.” Using Bandhani as the core craft, artisan Muskan Khatri’s collection titled ‘Mystery’ for the label ‘Musk’ was inspired by the galaxy. The dark and neon shades were aimed at symbolising the luminous beauty that was scattered through the universe. The meticulously designed motifs and patterns were inspired by celestial formations and abstract elements of the cosmos. Collection by Muskan Khatri “My collection expresses the magic and vastness of the universe through Tie and Dye,” Muskan said. Then, the beauty of the traditional Batik craft was unveiled on the ramp by Shakil Ahmed’s label ‘Neel Batik’ through a collection titled ‘Tradition to Modern’. The designer stated, “The idea behind my collection was to blend traditional batik with modern aesthetics.” Collection by Shakil Ahmed Presenting a mélange of silhouettes and styles, Shakil created four sets of Indian and western garments. Saris were the focal point of the Indian offering, while the western designs brought an Indo-fusion cultural appeal.
