A woman’s breasts are not exactly breaking news, now are they? And yet, the sight of breasts bared defiantly is enough to uncork a debate on “good” taste and “bad” taste. #transwoman #breasts #female #woman #sexreassignment #surgery
Designer Swapnil Shinde’s decision to become Saisha also means she now has to tackle the stereotypes that come with the gender. ✒️ @holysoly

Mumbai needs her 🤫 too.
A towering statue of a woman's head with her index finger pressing on her lips now faces lower Manhattan along the Hudson River, inviting the chaotic metropolis to stop and listen https://t.co/akARqCPX74 🌊

Such was the “showmanship” set designed for couturier Gaurav Gupta’s aquatic-themed Lakmé Grand Finale show on October 10. But the fact that it took 90,000 litres of water to pay a literal homage to the marine creatures at a 26-minute spectacle adds to #sustainability question.

Will write to different CM across indigenous/Tribal states to come forward and speak out against this racism and so called supremacy!
Calling out @unacademy and Siddharth Arora for an unconditional apology for him on his unacceptable derogatory remark on Tribals. Seeking for a public apology ASAP. Video credit: decolonialindegniousmemes

The pandemic is responsible for tectonic shifts, including in fashion. With the consumer getting abstentious, designers are dipping into the middle-class sentiment to invoke desire in high-fashion

“But it was the tiny specks of arduous hand embroidery & appliquéd textures that created the figurative big picture in silk threads; maze of cubiform, Lego-like homes with uneven staircases, the narrow streets swelling with bougainvillea shrubs, all spoke of stitches of wonder.”

It’s with stoic regularity that 🇮🇳 fashion brands, platforms, individuals ensure that #PrideMonth trends every June, their call for inclusivity represented wonderfully with #loveislove And yet, the reality is slight and fragile. 👇🏽

Since its inception in 2018, Kerala-based social-impact agency @savetheloom strategy has been to hook people on to #sustainability forever, not as per occasion. @rameshmenon says need of the hour is not to promote handlooms as charitable project. They want dignity & fair wages.
