That's a wrap on film awards season. 2022 was a stupendous year for film so I can't be too put out that almost none of the performances/films/artists that I wanted to win didn't.

What could've been.

At least I liked some of the fashions. An effective balm for the pain of the losses of Justin Hurwitz', Austin Butler and ALL QUIET ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT for Best Picture.

My favourite looks of the night

Luxury Kids’ Fashion Trends for 2024

As we step into 2024, the world of kids’ fashion is witnessing a significant shift towards luxury and exclusivity. Affluent families in posh locations across India are increasingly investing in high-end kids’ wear, seeking unique designs, superior fabrics, and the prestige that comes with top-tier brands. This year, the trends in luxury kids’ fashion are set to captivate and inspire, combining innovation with timeless elegance.

Key Designers and Brands

Several designers and brands are leading the charge in luxury kids’ fashion for 2024. Names like Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Burberry continue to dominate, offering exclusive collections that blend sophistication with playful charm. Additionally, Indian designers such as Manish Malhotra and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla are making waves with their exquisite children’s lines that reflect a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

Unique Fabrics and Innovative Designs

The choice of fabric plays a crucial role in luxury kids’ wear. This year, expect to see a lot of organic and sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, bamboo, and silk blends, reflecting a growing trend towards eco-conscious fashion. These fabrics are not only gentle on young skin but also durable and breathable.

Expert Insights

We spoke with several industry experts to get their take on the upcoming trends. Renowned fashion designer Anita Dongre mentioned, “Parents today want their children to experience luxury and quality from a young age. Our collections for 2024 are designed to provide that, with a focus on sustainability and timeless elegance.”

Similarly, fashion critic Meera Gupta noted, “There’s a significant shift towards exclusive, limited-edition pieces. Parents are looking for uniqueness and are willing to invest in high-end fashion that reflects their personal style and values.”

Market Growth and Statistics

The market for luxury kids’ wear is experiencing robust growth. According to a recent report by Statista, the global market for children’s luxury fashion is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% over the next five years. In India, this growth is even more pronounced, with a CAGR of 10.2%, driven by increasing disposable incomes and a growing trend of social media showcasing.

Why Affluent Families are Investing More

Several factors are driving affluent families in India to invest more in high-end kids’ fashion:

Status Symbol: Luxury fashion serves as a status symbol, reflecting the family’s wealth and social standing.

Quality and Comfort: High-end brands are synonymous with superior quality and comfort, which are paramount for children’s clothing.

Exclusivity: Limited edition and custom-made pieces offer a sense of exclusivity that affluent parents desire.

Cultural Significance: In a culturally rich country like India, wearing designer clothes during festivals and special occasions holds great significance.

Influence of Celebrity Culture: With celebrities frequently showcasing their children in luxury brands, there is a growing aspirational trend among wealthy families.

The luxury kids’ fashion landscape in 2024 is vibrant and dynamic, characterized by innovative designs, superior fabrics, and an emphasis on sustainability. As affluent families continue to seek the best for their children, the demand for high-end kids’ wear is set to soar.

[ad_1] Megan Thee Stallion's look for the 2022 Grammy Awards is, in a word, wild. The rapper played with animal prints for the star-studded event on April 3 in Las Vegas, wearing a leopard patterned Roberto Cavalli dress with a clashing zebra print on the interior lining of the gown. The sexy silhouette consisted of a hip-high slit and one-shoulder neckline that was finished with a thick band of yellow gemstones. A single brooch at the top of her leg slit added to the sparkle and drew attention to her leggy moment as she posed for photos. Megan accessorized with snake-like earrings that nearly grazed the tips of her shoulders, armfuls of chunky gold bangles, plenty of bold rings, and strappy black patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti stiletto sandals. Just a week ago, Megan attended the Oscars in a sculptural, blue ballgown by Gaurav Gupta. She later attended the Vanity Fair afterparty wearing a more minimal Mônot dress. Last year marked Megan's first time attending the Grammys, and she wore an orange Dolce & Gabbana gown. Megan picked up three awards at the 2021 Grammys, and tonight, her "Thot Shit" is nominated for best rap performance.

Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday: Actors redefine the art of corsetry - fashion and trends

Inner wear worn as outer wear is nothing new. The 90s inspired boudoir chic has got mainstream in Bollywood with actors sporting corset belts and bustiers for their outings. Deepika Padukone layered her oversized Jacquemus shirt with a Dolce & Gabbana corset and added spunk to the ensemble with a pair of kicky bow heels from ZARA. Ananya Panday was seen enveloping her white day dress with a mesh belt and Esha Gupta cinched her white shirt with a denim bustier. Not long ago, Shraddha Kapoor was seen cinching her collared shirt dress with a matching corset belt. Designer Nachiket Barve observes, “The inner wear masquerading as outer wear has voyeuristic undertones. The social media has blurred the line between what’s private and what’s public. In a world where there’s a sensory overload of imagery, unfortunately good clothes don’t cut it anymore. We are also questioning the paradigm of beauty and embracing the idea of mixing chic with grunge. The slight undertones of conceal and reveal makes Deepika’s look stand out. Having said that, the trend has to do something for your body type, and you have to have a certain sass to pull it off.”B07BBM44SL, B07B5YFCVPThe fact that a corset belt can be employed in multiple ways makes it a staple for stylists. Designer Monisha Jaising says, “Even in 2020, I see something like the ubiquitous corset belt quite relevant as it flatters an ensemble, if worn correctly. It’s a versatile piece and could be worn in so many ways and gives one the freedom to mix and match.”  

Bella Hadid, Shraddha Kapoor, Esha Gupta sport corsets. ( Instagram ) The likes of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have put the ’90s reverse layering on the map. Think Rachel Green in Friends layering a slip on a T-shirt and you get the drift. Stylist Isha Bhansali hails it as a youthful trend, which also radiates the perfect vibe for a music fest outing. “Earlier the styling story was about how to style a white shirt differently, but today it’s about how to recontextualise the bustier. If you don’t want to show your cleavage and midriff, this makes for a fun and playful layering option,” says Isha.

While half of Bollywood preferred dresses yesterday, the other half was all about festive Indian ethnic wear. Going with the former, Kriti Sanon chose an off-shoulder printed number last evening, Anushka Sharma accompanied Virat Kohli at an award ceremony in a maxi, and over in New York, Priyanka Chopra enjoyed a day out with Nick Jonas in a breezy blue midi. And among the many Bollywood ladies who opted for festive Indian ensembles was Alia Bhatt, who stood out in a whimsical Tarun Tahiliani anarkali. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked elegant in a white chikankari kurta, Aditi Rao Hydari picked a multi-hued Vrisa ensemble and Esha Gupta partied in a pink Neha Gupta lehenga. Have a closer look at some of yesterday’s best outfits here.

Priyanka Chopra shows us how to take a casual dress from day to night

There’s no ignoring Priyanka Chopra these days.

This season, Priyanka Chopra’s wardrobe has been all about fun dresses and even more exciting accessories. Most recently, the star was seen hanging out in with Jonas in New York wearing a laidback sky blue number, with deep purple sandals and an ivory Bottega Veneta bag.

What do we do with a problem like corona?

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/what-do-we-do-with-a-problem-like-corona/

What do we do with a problem like corona?

“The other day, my jeweller called saying the bangles I was interested in were available,” says a Mumbai-based PR executive who declined to be named. “I just thought, ‘how unnecessary at a time like this,’ and told them I wasn’t interested right now.” Among the businesses most hit by Covid-19 are anything to do with luxury. Whether it is jewellery, art, clothes, shoes or grand homes, major purchases are being put on hold. Consumers are beginning to exercise restraint, preferring to sit on cash.

A recent survey by investment firm Bernstein and Boston Consulting Group estimates that globally, luxury market sales could be dented by as much as $43 billion. India, whose nascent but growing luxury industry was estimated to be $30 billion in 2018 by Assocham, and projected to grow to $200 billion by 2030, is just beginning to feel the effects of the virus. Domestic demand is taking a hit, and so are exports: India acts as a “back-office” to many western fashion brands to whom it provides raw and semi-finished materials and components. But, as the coronavirus reduces demand from overseas, and as the country goes into lock-down mode with malls and retailers shutting shop, industry insiders see a bleak near to mid-term outlook. As a result, sales — already somewhat muted given our economic slowdown — are slowing.

Cecilia Morelli Parikh, co-founder of luxury retail store Le Mill  

Retail blues

With most cities banning large gatherings, weddings, that big marker of Indian exuberance and a barometer for luxury spending in India, stand postponed.

“It has had a big impact on the fashion industry and stores,” says Tina Tahiliani Parikh, who owns the multi-brand boutique Ensemble. “Stopping the flow of NRIs to the country has been another severe blow. As social distancing is now the only way to stem the pandemic, most clients are postponing shopping unless it is urgent. Our teams are helping customers home shop and delivering at home [their web portal should be online in the next two weeks], but the industry is under a lot of stress.”

Fashion for social distancers

Try Raquel Allegra jumpsuits and Dries van Noten T-shirts (for a bit of drama to pair with your tracks). Brands like Maus from Sri Lanka, and Baon are great. I also think it is a good time to make yourself happy and just wear some great accessories, like Big Janda Vacintho earrings.

Cecilia Morelli Parikh, co-founder of luxury retail store Le Mill, agrees. “People are not looking to buy show-y pieces, since they have nowhere to go,” she says. “They are buying pieces that uplift them while at home, without breaking the bank, and I see this as a foreseeable trend in the future.” Le Mill is fast tracking a website that will launch in two to three weeks, and is increasing its Instagram content, given the brand’s high user engagement on the platform. In fact, it had an Insta-story on the various steps its home delivery service undertakes in light of the virus – including a stylist wearing a mask and gloves while handling the garment, steaming the garment to ensure hygiene, packing it in a sanitised garment bag, and delivering to the client via a private car.

Delhi-based designer Gaurav Gupta is anticipating a 50% drop in sales this month. “Stores have had almost no walk-ins because people are scared to go out,” he says, adding that while some are still coming to his stand-alone outlets wearing masks, he anticipates plummeting footfalls in the coming months. Gupta, whose clothes retail from between ₹50,000 to ₹5,00,000, says wedding orders for the summer months have also been pushed to later in the year, which will impact cash flow. Meanwhile, he is talking to his fellow design fraternity to see how they are grappling with supporting employees, who are scared to come to work but need their income. “It is a Catch-22; if there are no sales, how does the staff get paid?” he asks. For now, he is likely to consider a 50% rotational staff.

Losing their sheen

Mehernosh Heeramaneck, one of India’s most important jewellers, says budgets among the uber wealthy have definitely reduced. “I’ve never seen it like this, it is really scary,” he says. Some potential sales have been cancelled and, as a major buyer of important stones, he has imposed a moratorium on purchases till things settle.

Art’s good tidings

In the midst of evaporating sales and cancelled events, here’s some good news. On March 16, Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art auction totalled $4.8 million in New York (the highest total for the category since 2017), with 91.1% of lots sold. The sale saw robust online bidding, with 33% of all sold works acquired online.

Also in disarray are local companies that work closely with western luxury brands. Gayatri Khanna Sabharwal, founder of Mumbai-based Milaaya Embroideries, says that all her production orders for Dolce & Gabbana, Etro and other high-end brands are on hold. “Some smaller companies have even cancelled their pre-Fall orders last week,” she says. “With Italy in quarantine, and numbers there still on the rise, they don’t see an end in sight. This is throwing the entire luxury supply chain into disruption, panic and worry about the near term, since so many people are dependent on these jobs.”

Real estate is faring no better. “There were at least 89,200 luxury units lying unsold across the top seven cities by 2019-end against 81,290 units a year ago,” says Anuj Puri, chairman of Anarock property consultants. He believes no price segment will be immune to the fallout of this pandemic. “In fact, buyers of high-end homes usually prefer multiple site visits, so the need for social distancing will be a dampener,” he notes, adding that “many developers are postponing their new launches and will wait to see how the situation unfolds over the next month or two”.

NS Harsha’s Recent Life exhibition at Chemould Prescott Road  

Double down on digital

The art market is also impacted. Numerous art fairs in the region have been cancelled, in which blue chip Indian galleries participate and generate significant sales. Although Roshni Vadehra of Delhi’s Vadehra Art Gallery says that Covid-19 is not affecting them thus far, she predicts a slowdown, given market volatility. With Delhi banning gatherings of more than 50 people, the gallery is not doing any major exhibitions or events.

Shireen Gandhy, of Mumbai-based gallery Chemould Prescott Road, says it is hard to say how seriously this will affect business, “but looking at the global situation [of how seriously the art market has been impacted], it definitely will”. She adds that after a bustling start to the year — with two successful exhibitions of NS Harsha and Anju Dodiya — the city feels like a ghost town. How incredible to imagine that just a few week ago, things were so different.

Even as the world as we know it halts, luxury companies will have to re-think their futures, perhaps turning to AI and digital more aggressively. As Gupta says, “This is a humanitarian crisis and our reaction to this emergency will shape the consequences.”

Straight speak

This is unprecedented and we don’t know what the humanitarian, financial and, most important, the psychological cost of all of this is. For a long time I have been [saying] that… the value system needs to change, with a commitment to buy well and enjoy it fully, and not be flippant and define yourselves by what you put on your body or wear something only once because you’ve been on Instagram. As for us, we are wondering if we should shut the factory. I don’t want to lay people off because no one is going to get a job. Or should we take a pay cut and work three-four days a week? Assuming we don’t have to shut down because of a government directive! It is all too soon to say and this story has to be updated every week
