Spanish porcelain brand, Lladro’s vice president Angeles Lladro draws focus on the brand’s attachment to India. New Delhi’s designer, Neha Nagar shares her style preferences with us – mixing premium with street fashion. And dancer- architect, Chennai’s Krithika Subrahmanian invites Verve to her home, which is a blend of tasteful aesthetics and graceful finish. The issue also focusses on how heroines from across the borders have impacted the silver screen – it is a trend that has spanned decades – right from Helen to Verve’s cover girl Ami Jackson.

The regular sections interact with actor, Nimrat Kaur, as well as a musician and a designer walking the road to fame.
