missing at Amazon India Fashion Week’s Fall 2018 presentations. Namely, it’s
people. Usual suspects like Amit Aggarwal, Rajesh Pratap Singh and Hemant &amp;
Nandita were absent from the roster of shows exhibited at Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium. Perhaps, Indian designers are jumping onto the worldwide sartorial
bandwagon of forgoing runway shows for a more cost-effective approach. Whatever
the reason, it was clear that fashion’

5 Tips From MAC Makeup Pro Romero Jennings On Looking Flawless - MissMalini

It’s always a kick when meeting our social media idols face-to-face. We already
know everything about them, even before introducing ourselves—Thanks to their 
Instagram and Twitter feeds granting us daily access to what they’re wearing,
where they’re hanging, and who they’re with.

When MAC Director of Makeup Artistry Romero Jennings (whose account I stalk for
backstage fashion week makeup) came to town, I knew what I was in for. Slick

EDITOR’S PICKS: 12 BEST COLLECTIONS FROM LAKME FASHION WEEK SR18 - MissMalini

It’s no question, 2017 was a tough year. Besides obvious, controversial hot
topics like Trump and DACA, incidents such as GST (Goods and Services Tax)
affecting basically everyone, the #MeToo campaign highlighting an alarming
number of sexual abuse victims, and dangerously high smog levels, left people
feeling fed up and disheartened.

Since fashion is a pretty good indicator of the current zeitgeist, it was clear
at Lakme Fashion Week’s spring/resort 2018 presentations, that the masses want

The Shoe Every Single One Of Us Has Probably Worn - MissMalini

It’s hard to look back at 90s nostalgia without recalling the all too familiar
shoe brand Bata. Memories of strapping on those ubiquitous black school shoes,
changing into white sneakers before running off to PT, and eagerly slipping on
blue-strapped chappals when returning home come to mind when recollecting
moments from our youth. From mom to the maid—Bata shoes were a closet staple for 
everyone in the family. Mainly, because they were the perfect everyday footwear:

Sabyasachi Dominates Yet Another Industry In Fashion - MissMalini

Being one of India’s more private fashion designers, Sabyasachi Mukherji isn’t
known to frequent the spotlight often. So needless to say, we were thrilled when
given the opportunity to meet the masterful couturier. Despite the fact that
Team MissMalini interviews celebrities and designers on a daily basis, many have
yet to meet the beloved designer (and have actually filed him under their
“bucket list” of  industry insiders they’re dying to meet next).

This season’s Amazon India Fashion Week was rather mild compared to previous
ones. There were less shows (and even less showstoppers), with presentations
beginning an hour or two later in the day than they have in the past—giving
ample time to those nursing hangovers from the night before to pull themselves
together. Surprisingly though, the after-parties were few and far between—Which
is a shame considering how they serve as the perfect icebreaker for diminishing

As we check off the first fashion week of the year, it dawned on me that 2017 is
giving us a lot to look forward to. Not just the styles setting precedence for
what we’ll be dropping our hard-earned paychecks on this season, but also the
powerful message that was spread via fashion’s most influential platform—Lakmé
Fashion Week. Multiple shows kicked off with movies or installations addressing
one issue all women can relate to—the freedom to dress uninhibited, without
worrying our shorts might w

Travel Without Ever Leaving Home - MissMalini

The wonderful thing about scent is that it can transport us to another time and
place. One whiff of a particular food or fragrance can remind us of a person, a
place, or a distant memory. Personally, I cannot smell pear without thinking of
my mom who has lathered on the sweet-scented lotion every night before bed for
as long as I can remember. Her entire bedroom and closet even smell of the dewy
fruit. And for those of us who grew up with Christmas trees, it’s nearly
impossible to smell pine wit

slight fear every time I cross the road—see the range here? However, the most
overwhelming emotion I’ve felt since moving to India is desire—The desire to

Fashion’s New Silhouette: Frumpy - MissMalini

I often look back at my past fashion choices and marvel at how much my style has
evolved throughout the years. I spent my teens and twenties wearing bodycon
dresses, skintight jeans, and belly-baring tops. Fitting rooms were deemed
unnecessary, as I had my sights set on one size only: extra small. Anything
roomier was seen as frumpy in my eyes.

It wasn’t until I hit my thirties that I noticed a drastic change in the way I
purchased clothing. I started reaching for large and medium sizes, even w
