    Jaypore’s Threads of Light celebrate craft & women

    MUMBAI: Lighting up Diwali with craft, culture, and courage. Jaypore is weaving a luminous festive story with its latest campaign, Threads of Light, celebrating India’s rich artisanal heritage and the women who inspire. In collaboration with veteran designer Anju Modi, the campaign blends tradition, creativity, and contemporary elegance, casting a glow on craftsmanship and resilience alike.

    The cinematic campaign features four remarkable women, each embodying strength and artistry. Actor Shefali Shah brings depth and grace, singer-songwriter Bindu Subramaniam represents harmony between tradition and modernity, Gita Prakash reflects courage and reinvention, and Anju Modi herself completes the circle with her devotion to craft. Together, they illuminate the poetry of heritage and the quiet power of women who lead with creativity.

    “Threads of Light celebrates the magic of Indian craft and the women who carry strength, creativity, and grace in every step of their journey,” said Jaypore vice president & brand head Manu Gupta. “This festive season, we wanted to create a campaign that honours both the hands that make and the hearts that inspire.”

    The festive collection showcases rich emerald, red, and antique gold tones, adorned with zari and zardosi embroidery alongside delicate block-printed details. Shot in sweeping cinematic frames, the campaign journeys from artisans at work to a vivid tableau of festive living, seamlessly integrating Jaypore’s home offerings in brass, kansa, dokra, and décor.

    With Threads of Light, Jaypore reaffirms its commitment to celebrating heritage that is not only preserved but lived, in what we wear, how we celebrate, and the stories we carry forward.

    Glam Slam in Mumbai as GICW sets the runway for its Season 6 debut

     MUMBAI: Flashbulbs, fashion, and a fresh address India’s couture caravan is heading west. After five dazzling, drama-filled seasons in Delhi, Global India Couture Week (GICW) is stitching up a new chapter with its grand Mumbai debut for Season 6, scheduled for 19th, 20th, and 21st September 2025. One of India’s most influential fashion platforms, GICW is turning up the couture heat in the city that never sleeps bringing together legendary designers, Bollywood glamazons, and next-gen fashion firebrands under one sequinned roof.

    The move marks a bold shift for GICW, promising a more high-octane, creative, and collaborative energy. Think red carpet dazzle, influencer-packed FROWs, and runway shows that go from classic couture to cutting-edge chaos in the best possible way.

    “GICW is not just about showcasing fashion, it’s about shaping the future of Indian design,” said Flashbulbs, founder Satyajit Mohanty.

    His partner-in-style, Flashbulbs director of operations Sidharrth Behera added, “Mumbai represents a new energy, and we’re opening our doors wide for young designers to step in, shine, and scale.”

    Over the years, GICW has featured couture royalty like Anju Modi, Neeta Lulla, Wendell Rodricks, Narendra Kumar, Samant Chauhan, and Tanieya Khanuja. The film world has been equally smitten, with Karisma Kapoor, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Palak Tiwari, and Divya Khosla Kumar lending their star wattage to the catwalk.

    Now, with applications open for emerging designers, GICW Season 6 is giving the fashion disruptors of tomorrow a chance to rub shoulder-pads with the greats. Limited slots are up for grabs, and the exposure is not just national, but global zero compromises, full glamour.

    With India’s fashion industry valued at over 18 billion dollars and luxury couture seeing a sharp post-pandemic boom, GICW’s strategic shift to Mumbai is more than just a location change. It’s a sartorial power move, designed to tap into the city’s celebrity ecosystem, global connectivity, and buzzing fashion calendar.

    So whether you’re a die-hard couturista or a meme-scrolling style enthusiast, brace yourself. September’s going to be all sequins, swagger, and seriously high fashion Mumbai style.
