    With the backdrop of the architectural marvel of the Embassy of Belgium in New Delhi, the Hyderabad-based design house — Mishru by Swapna Anumolu showcased its latest Couture Collection, 'Resonance, 2025'.

    With Nida Merchant jazzing the evening and Sahil Vasudeva on piano, the music seamlessly complemented the showcase.

    The collection traversed from classic to contemporary designs, we spotted structured lehengas, corsets and off-shoulder blouses, larger-than-life jumpsuits and cocktail dresses with puffy sleeves on the runway.

    With the meticulous signature 3D embroidery, the brand also introduced a groundbreaking meta-layering of foliage within foliage technique, creating a captivating visual impact on ensembles. Resonance 2024/2025 showcased a vibrant palette that transitioned from white bridal couture to deep sapphires. We could also spot a pop of purple, hot pink, romantic pastels and earthy blacks.

    The showstopper for the show wasShraddha Kapoor, who wore a beautiful white hand-embroidered lehenga with French knots, floral motifs, and delicate 3D embroidery. We’re already in our white bride era, and Shraddha in this beautiful white outfit only makes us love it more!

    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.

    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.
