Never Enough: Bengalureans on maximalist fashion
Maximalism has been noted as a central part of Indian culture beyond a mere modern fad. Jai reveals her initiation into the aesthetic, saying, 'I have been a big fan of classical dances, where you can see the dancers wearing heavy jewellery. So I used to be interested in mixing and matching of the metals to wear. I believe that maximalism originally came from Indian culture, where one can see ancient idols being adorned with gold. And I feel like people are just taking inspiration out of it to make it into a trend right now.'
Rooted in experimentation, maximalist enthusiasts urge towards a need for individualism and advocate for small businesses. Divya Jalan, founder of Not Just Bijoux, a city-based handmade jewellery brand, expresses, 'A big part of maximalist artistry is the effort that goes into making those pieces. I'm spending a lot of time and effort to create something that has a huge statement to it. Because maximalism is becoming an aesthetic now, you can just go to stores like Urbanic and buy items that can match your maximalist look.' Adding onto experimentation, Kirolikar says, 'Fabric, colours, and prints matter. You can just wear a crop top, layered with a thin cotton white shirt, and go on with a lot of accessories.'

Last Updated: In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos. In today's time, AI-generated videos are taking over social media, with some being so lifelike that it's hard to distinguish reality from fiction. A recent viral clip has sparked debate, showing a lion approaching a sleeping man in an Indian street, sniffing him, and then walking away unscathed. The internet is buzzing with questions: 'Is this real or AI-generated? The video garnered 7 million views on social media, and now it's been claimed as AI-generated by IFS Parween Kaswan. This raises important questions about the potential for AI to be used to mislead or confuse people.

And now imagine AI is still at nascent stage !! — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) June 8, 2025 In the comment section, some people were amazed by the video, while others asked IFS how to differentiate between AI-generated and real videos. 'Sir, can you please elaborate on how you identify this video generated by AI?" one user asked.
