  • It’s not your regular fashion show, it’s a fashion ‘Baaraat’! With dhol, baja and escorts dressed in the designer label, actor Ranbir Kapoor led a dramatic groom procession for Tasva by Aditya Birla Fashion Retail Ltd in collaboration with designer Tarun Tahiliani. The label unveiled its Autumn/ Winter wedding collection at the majestic Travancore Palace in New Delhi.

    The designer knows well how to cater to the needs of modern Indian men in classic Tahiliani fashion—with a focus on comfort alongside just the right dose of opulence. While speaking to Manifest, Tarun Tahliani revealed, “We want the groom to feel comfortable, I don’t think people should dress up like in a costume play! That’s the role of an actor, people should dress in their style so that this is an easy luxury in this space.”

    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.
