About this issue
It is an issue replete with luxury from varying angles that circumvent the obvious opulence – luxury that surfaces in different facets of one’s life. Michelin-star Chef Vikas Khanna, during his recent visit to India, speaks about the luxury of fame after his humble upbringing and his tryst with the world of tastes and flavours. 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. Flip through Verve’s resplendent fashion pages to see Ami Jackson dazzle on Gulmarg’s snowy slopes in the peacock’s pride. And through scarlet’s enigma, Verve emulates the mysteries of a woman. Verve has also travelled to exotic lands for reintroduction to marine life in Maldivian waters. Flying towards the north for a walk with lions, adventure sports, and relaxation at Mauritian beaches is a complete holidaying experience. For more sandy leisure, Dubai’s time stopping beaches are a myriad of sacrosanctity. Moving towards the west, Verve lists six reasons that make Jamaican islands worth at least one visit. The regular sections interact with actor, Nimrat Kaur, as well as a musician and a designer walking the road to fame. Art, humour and theatre complete the front of book, whereas pop colours and funky hairdo complete the back pages.
