Book Description

The Quiet Luxe is an authoritative research-based manual for understanding the history and evolution of “quiet luxury” and includes lectures delivered in the Bath Business School in the United Kingdom. Quiet luxury is a minimalist approach to luxury and fashion that emphasizes timeless elegance, legacy, aesthetics, subliminal ego, and exclusivity. The book explores the uniqueness of luxury brands that are dependent on beauty, art, design and aesthetics. It deep dives into the strategic perspective of leading luxury brands, which cater to both “quiet luxury” and “loud luxury” consumers -- Aesthetes and Connoisseurs versus the Flaunters. The book traces the history of “loud luxury” from the days of the Maharajas to the Great Indian Aspiring Middle Class of today versus the rise of ego-driven “quiet luxury” with the New Maharajas, the Richie Rich, who only flaunt to those who can afford.

Book Description

The two critical aspects that go mostly missing in experiencing our lives fully as we become more and more mature are slowness and silliness. There is not much literature on these two vital aspects of our lives that is mostly looked down upon in a world dominated by speed and seriousness, or the act of it. Yes, being dead serious or acting so is the only acceptable solution if you want to be taken seriously by your family, friends and peers. Along the way unwittingly your professional life has been mixed with your personal life. The concept of work from home has eliminated the blurred line between professional and personal space. Seriousness finds entry into a space that is meant to be silly, and the fast pace enters a life that is meant to be slow. Slowness and silliness thus have no room left in your office-home space. This book, in two parts, explores these two vital elements of our lives that are on the verge of extinction…being silly and being slow...that are mostly missing! #BeSilly #BeSlow

Book Description

The December 2018 issue of Fibre2Fashion looks at trends driving the textile processing sector of the industry, particularly two of its stages: dyeing and printing. It is because these two phases are seeing the most R&D work, not to speak of having a bearing on the preceding phases of textile processing. The issue then jumps to another sector of the textiles and apparel industry that embodies sustainability as it ought to have been: handloom-handmade. This is presented in the form of a collection of case studies, field reports and interviews. Of course, regular features are also covered. Fibre2Fashion magazine—the print venture of Fibre2Fashion.com since 2011—is circulated among a carefully-chosen target audience globally, and reaches the desks of top management and decision-makers in the textiles, apparel and fashion industry. As one of India's leading industry magazines for the entire textile value chain, Fibre2Fashion Magazine takes the reader beyond the mundane headlines, and analyses issues in-depth.
