    For couturier Jayanti Reddy, it's been a wonderful year. At the beginning of 2024, she launched her store in Kala Ghoda, Mumbai. Cut to the second half of the year, she is now bringing in her A/W collection known as 'Threads of Legacy'. Inspired by her hometown Hyderabad, Jayanti Reddy took it up a notch.


    Amidst the muted background of the set which is synonymous with her flagship stores in Delhi and Mumbai, Jayanti’s all-new collection was shining bright in rich jewel tones. The music composed by the duo Tech Panda and Kenzani was playing in the background with dramatic arches and pillars adding to the whole atmosphere.


    Aditi Rao Hydari was the showstopper looking resplendent in a golden set that featured a short peplum kurta and flared pants.


    The silhouette was reminiscent of a sharara and was styled with sleek hair, minimal make-up and a standout necklace from Kishandas & Co. The legacy jewellery maison made partners for the couturier’s show.

    The designer showcased 40 looks, out of which many were showcased as capes, cropped jackets, corsets, saree gowns, and lehenga skirts among others.


    Her signature Khada dupattas were given a fresh upgrade and most pieces Manifest witnessed were nothing less than a work of art. For Men, we saw pieces that were reimagined with the classic Jayanti Reddy touch. Think bandhgalas, sherwanis, and kurtas in muted colours.


    Marrying her old design sensibilities with new—Jayanti Reddy’s new collection is perfect for the serial wedding guest who wants to stand out without going over the top.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    - Avarna Jain,
    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
