Of Covers


Versace’s Spring 2018 runway show will forever be memorable for bringing back the most iconic supermodels of my times (the 90s) and this month, Elle pays ode to that moment by featuring some favorite models from India on their April cover, wearing Versace, but of course! (Note to keep in mind, this possibly is a very paid collab…)

I did love the idea and it was refreshing not to see another leading lady from Bollywood on the cover. So kudos, Elle, for this!

Having said that though, this would’ve been my wishlist for truly nailing the 90s Original Supermodels edition. Mehr Jessia, Noyonika Chatterjee, Shyamoli Varma, Madhu Sapre and Indrani Dasgupta. Add Sheetal Mallar, Nina Manuel too!

Which five would you have liked to see?

In Rajesh Pratap Singh


Can you say ‘hamana’? Good, repeat after us- Hamana-hamana-hamana! Archana Akil Kumar worked her Rajesh Pratap Singh suit and then some while at a recent event. Sleek hair, neon-lavender lip color and pair of black sandals finished out her look perfectly; she did good!

P.S: See Deepika Padukone wear the suit here. You guessed it, we loved it then as well.

Archana on Bazaar Bride: (Un)Covered


Bazaar Bride’s April edition was quite an unexpected one for two reasons, first for not featuring an actor and second, for featuring model Archana Akil Kumar in a very traditional look.

I, for one, absolutely loved it!

P.S. She is wearing a Rajesh Pratap Singh sari with a Suhani Pittie belt, PNG Jewellers arm cuff and bangle and a Fatherland nose pin.
