The Evolution of Luxury Fashion: From Traditional to Sustainable

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 17:00:00 +0200

Luxury fashion is a constantly evolving industry that has been pushing the boundaries of creativity and exclusivity for decades. From haute couture to streetwear, luxury fashion offers a wide range of styles and aesthetics for every taste. However, as the industry evolves, it is also important to consider the impact of luxury fashion on the environment and society.

Traditionally, luxury fashion has been defined by its exclusivity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci have built their reputation on these principles and have become synonymous with luxury and opulence. They are known for their use of the finest materials, intricate designs, and expert craftsmanship. The luxury fashion experience is also an important aspect, which is why many luxury fashion stores offer a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere with highly trained staff to provide personalized and attentive service.

However, in recent years, the luxury fashion industry has undergone a significant shift towards sustainability. Brands like Stella McCartney, Gucci and Bottega Veneta are leading the way in sustainable luxury fashion and are setting an example for other brands to follow. They are using sustainable materials, implementing ethical production practices, and promoting transparency in their supply chain. This change is driven by both customer demand for more environmentally responsible products and increasing awareness of the negative impact of fast fashion on the environment.

Another trend in the luxury fashion industry is the merging of streetwear with luxury fashion. Brands like Louis Vuitton, Supreme, Dior, Balenciaga and Gucci have been able to successfully merge the worlds of streetwear and luxury fashion, creating a new and unique aesthetic. Streetwear, which was once considered to be a niche subculture, has now become mainstream and is influencing luxury fashion.

In conclusion, the luxury fashion industry is constantly evolving and changing. While traditional luxury brands like Chanel and Louis Vuitton will always have a place in the industry, the luxury fashion industry is constantly evolving, with new practices and innovative brands emerging all the time. It's important to understand that luxury fashion not only about the clothes, but also the experience and social responsible actions. This is the key of luxury fashion in the future.

Don’t underestimate the power of mobility exercises! These simple movements can improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce the risk of injury. Hence we are kick starting our series with these first. You can do a minimum of 5 reps and a maximum of 10 reps of each exercise. Check them out in the video where we show you 6 Simple Mobility Exercises to start your workouts with.

Importance of mobility

1. Upper body mobility - helps avoid injuries while workout and improves blood flow especially around shoulders.
2. Lower body mobility - helps to stretch our hamstrings and inner thigh. Also helps to avoid lower back pain and injury.
3. Mobility exercises can also help to improve posture and reduce muscle imbalances, which can lead to better overall physical performance.

This is the perfect warm-up before you start any workout.

For the upper body mobility exercises you can use a resistance band (like me) or a PVC pipe (like Milind).

5 New Year's Style Resolutions to Help You Look and Feel Your Best in 2023

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 17:31:00 +0200

As we begin the new year, it's the perfect time to set some style resolutions for ourselves. Whether you want to try out new trends, refresh your wardrobe, or simply put more thought into your daily outfits, here are some ideas to get you started on your style resolutions for 2023.

1. Invest in high-quality pieces - Instead of buying cheap, fast fashion items that will fall apart after a few wears, consider investing in higher-quality pieces that will last longer and look better on you. Look for timeless, classic styles that will never go out of fashion, and be willing to splurge a little on pieces that you know you'll wear all the time.

2. Experiment with new trends - It's always fun to try out new styles and see what works for you. This year, consider incorporating some of the hottest fashion trends into your wardrobe, such as oversized blazers, neon colors, or puff sleeves. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new!

3. Curate a capsule wardrobe - If you find yourself constantly feeling like you have nothing to wear, it might be time to declutter your closet and create a capsule wardrobe. Choose a selection of high-quality, versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a range of looks. This will not only save you time and stress when getting dressed, but it will also help you develop a cohesive, stylish wardrobe.

4. Take care of your clothes - Your clothes will last longer and look better if you take care of them properly. Make a habit of washing and ironing your clothes regularly, and invest in good-quality hangers and storage solutions to keep your closet organized. This will also make it easier to find what you're looking for when getting dressed in the morning.

5. Dress for your body type - It's important to feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing, and the best way to do that is to choose clothes that flatter your body type. Whether you're curvy, petite, tall, or athletic, there are styles and cuts that will work for you. Don't be afraid to try on different sizes and shapes to find what works best for you.

By setting style resolutions for yourself, you can make a conscious effort to improve your personal style and feel more confident and put-together every day. Whether you want to try out new trends, invest in high-quality pieces, or simply take better care of your clothes, there are endless ways to elevate your style in the new year.

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 09:59:00 +0200

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2023! Our family is so grateful for all the love and support we received in the past year and for the memories we have made. Here's to a new year filled with love, laughter, new beginnings, endless possibilities, adventure, growth, self-discovery and all the things we've been dreaming of.

Along with my new year wishes, I also wanted to share something that has been running through my mind which I plan to do for sure and also want to share with you guys.

As the new year 2023 starts, it's important to start it on a positive note. Not only does this set the tone for the rest of the year, but it can also have a lasting impact on our overall well-being and happiness. Here are a few ways to start the new year off right:

Practice gratitude: Taking a few moments each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for can help put things into perspective and start the year off on a more positive note. Gratitude has been shown to have numerous benefits, including increased happiness, improved physical health, and stronger relationships.
Set achievable goals: It's important to set goals that are meaningful and important to you, but it's also important to make sure they're achievable. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and disappointment, so it's important to find a balance.
Take care of yourself: Start the new year off right by taking care of yourself physically and emotionally. This can include getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and finding time to relax and de-stress. Taking care of yourself can help improve your overall well-being and set the stage for a positive year.
Surround yourself with positive people: The people we surround ourselves with can have a big impact on our overall well-being and happiness. Surrounding ourselves with positive, supportive people can help lift our mood and provide the motivation and support we need to achieve our goals.
Let go of negative emotions: Starting the new year on a positive note involves forgiveness and letting go of grudges or negative feelings towards others. Holding onto negative emotions can be toxic and weigh us down. Letting go of these negative feelings can help us move forward and start the new year with a clean slate.

In conclusion, starting the new year 2023 on a positive note is important for our overall well-being and happiness. By focusing on gratitude, setting achievable goals, taking care of ourselves, surrounding ourselves with positive people, and letting go of negative emotions, we can set the stage for a positive and successful year. Here’s to a fantastic 2023!

Know Your Skin with Galderma!

Sat, 27 Aug 2022 06:23:00 +0200

Everyone's skin is different and so each one of us needs to take care of it in our own unique way. However, most of us don't realize this and so we follow set routines and use products just by their name and usage which may not suit us. I am glad that companies like Galderma who have successful brands like Cetaphil and Biluma, have launched a new initiative and made this month the Skin Awareness Month. With this they aim to educate consumers to Know their Skin, and what one needs to keep it healthy and beautiful. Basically one needs to know the importance of the right selection of products depending on our skin type.

I was glad to be a part of their event in Mumbai recently to know more about the initiative, where we had an informative panel discussion between dermatologists and beauty and travel influencers. My takeaways from the panel discussion that I would like to share with you were:

1. One should always know their skin type.

2. Always consult a dermatologist to know the right care to take and for that the right products to use for your skin type.

3. Skin has its own rhythm – Skin circadian rhythm for a healthy and glowing skin. The skin functions differ from the daytime and the time. During the day, the skin functions to brighten and protect the skin and during the night it functions to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. An imbalance in this day & night skin cycle due to internal & external factors leads to skin issues. However, do not treat your skin issues on your own. It could become worse if you take the wrong course of action. Always head to a dermatologist.

4. Age is a huge factor to be considered in your skincare routine as the condition of your skin changes with time.

5. Sunscreen come what may is one thing that we must not miss ever in our day skincare routine.

I also got to check out Cetaphil and Biluma products and saw that they had a such a relevant offering for my skin type and issues.

Cetaphil

Cetaphil is a Globally renowned brand with 75 years of heritage and is the No. 1 Dermatologist prescribed brand across many countries. Cetaphil is scientifically formulated and clinically proven to nourish even the most sensitive skin. I was glad to see that Cetaphil has revamped their range with a New Look (packaging change) along with better formulation by adding gentle ingredients such as Glycerin that improves Hydration, Niacinamide for Brightening and Panthenol for moisturizing effect. Here are some of the products that are perfect for my dry skin that I am recommending after use:

● Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser – The perfect Cleanser/Face wash that cleanses and removes dirt and impurities without making my skin dry.

● Cetaphil Moisturising Cream – For long lasting hydration, this contains a blend of natural ingredients like sweet almond oil and Vitamin E. I love how my skin feels nourished after this.

Biluma

Biluma as a skincare brands provides solutions that we need to maintain healthy, bright and youthful skin throughout their lives. It is the No. 1 recommended brand by dermatologists in the skin brightening category. Biluma's products treat hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, laxity, dull dry skin and more via scientifically proven agents and natural ingredients thereby balancing the skin circadian rhythm which I had spoken about earlier. Here are some of the products that I recommend after using:

● Biluma Advance Night Cream - This is perfect if you are looking for skin brightening and evening out skin tone. It helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It contains a blend of almond oil, macademia nut oil and shea butter, Kakadu plum (world richest source of Vitamin C) and hyaluronic acid.

● Biluma Advance cream for sensitive areas - Now this is for those problems that we never thought we would find solutions for brightening and evening skin tone for areas like underarms, inner thighs and neck. It calms and soothes reactive skin, gently exfoliates and brightens the skin. It contains Tasmannia lanceolata, lime pearl and Beta white a peptide based ingredient.

All these are perfectly in sync with Galderma's brand message - "Be you, it’s why we chose you!" They let you understand your skin better and then provide you with solutions to suit you. Do check out Cetaphil and Biluma products for healthy, bright and nourished skin!
