    AK|OK Anamika Khanna just closed the day 1 at the Lakmē Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI, and it’s safe to say that our new-found love for easy, relaxed silhouettes can be attributed solely to this beautiful collection.  Versatility, fluidity, impeccable craftsmanship reigned supreme, with a beautiful color palette of ecru, browns, dusty pinks, deep blacks and reds. The collection had a variety of silhouettes, from draped dresses and sleek gowns to relaxed co-ord sets to oversized, structured jackets.

    Our Favourite Looks From The AK|OK Anamika Khanna Show At The Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI

    A noteworthy addition that AK|OK made to their collection this season is the introduction of menswear. And might we add, we’d love to see more men embrace the AK|OK aesthetic. If you’re the kind of man who likes to keep it super relaxed and easy when it comes to ceremonial fashion, aka, the-sherwanis-with-sneakers-kind, AK|OK is the way to go. If an OTT bandhgala covered in traditional zari embroidery does not sound like your idea of a relaxed traditional look, we suggest this ivory bandhgala with relaxed trousers. And the patter on the jacket? Love!

    Speaking of menswear, we vehemently believe that men should start embracing certain things that they have shied away from for the longest time. Like pinks, or lace, or ruffles, or fringes. Case in point: this beautiful fringed look!

    Who needs a fur jacket when we have this beautiful jacket covered in fringes! Paired with the champagne satin trousers, this is the dinner date outfit of our dreams!

    This bustier has a similar surface texture but is more intricate. Our favourite part? It's backless!

    We’re mentally at an exotic beach at the Bahamas, sipping mimosas in this dreamy kaftan set. 

    This super relaxed, slightly risqué ivory look is not only absolutely beautiful, but is also super versatile. Pair it with metallic pumps, a minaudière, and a red lip for an elegant dinner, or pair with thong sandals and beachy waves for casual sundowner at a beach!

    The modest neckline combined with the risqué cut? The surface ornamentation? Consider us obsessed!

    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.
