Under the ‘Designer Spotlight’ section, we profile three unique personalities—Khyati Pande of Itr by Khyati Pande; Anjul Bhandari, who specialises in chikankari; and Jyoti Reddy, who champions the use of eri silk through her label Ereena. In ‘New Avenues’, we evaluate the rise of social media influencers and the role they play in today’s fashion landscape. Under ‘Fabric Speak’, we write about the intricacies of two highly coveted fabrics, including muslin and silk. The ‘Brand Profile’ section features Born, a luxury label offering organic clothing for kids. Under ‘Industry Insights’, we look at the successes and failures of the textile policies that have been recently formulated by a few Indian states; there is also an article that talks about piracy in apparel, and how to combat it.
