Labubu dolls get a fashion makeover
It started as a quirky collectible, but Labubu has now taken over the hearts and social media feeds of fans across the world. These wide-eyed, slightly odd-looking dolls, created by artist Kasing Lung for his Nordic folklore-inspired series The Monsters, are no longer just toys. They've become tiny canvases for creativity. For many fans, owning a Labubu doll isn't enough. They go a step further, adding a personal touch to every detail. From dressing the dolls in miniature outfits to giving them manicures and personalised clothing stitched with their owner's surname, each Labubu is treated like a tiny, stylish companion. Adding a personal touch Hamsha Thavaseelan, a digital creator, recently took her Labubu to two Tamil weddings. For the occasion, she even customised a dress to give the doll a Tamilian look, complete with a bindi, flowers, and a tiny bag – all matching her outfit for the wedding. Similarly, artist Gurnoor Anand took her Labubu to a boutique to have custom clothes made. Meanwhile, on Instagram, digital creator Christine Doan gave her Labubu a full makeover, adding fluttery eyelashes, 3D nail art, a miniature handbag, and matching charms. Her doll looks every bit the influencer it was destined to be. Fans are investing not just money, but also time in their Labubus. On social media, one Labubu wears custom-made grills from a dentist, while another is seen diving underwater, clearly geared up for adventure. Some are even dressed in tiny Kanjeevaram saris – proving that fashion knows no size. Whether it's the joy of dressing them up or simply giving them a personality, Labubu dolls have become much more than just collectibles. AI TIPS TO MAKE YOUR LABUBU TRULY YOURS Custom-made outfits Design tiny, one-of-a-kind outfits using fabrics like denim, tulle, or even old accessories. Whether it's a streetwear look, fairy costume, or desi avatar, tailor Labubu's wardrobe to your style or mood. Mini accessories with big personality Add tiny sunglasses, hats, scarves, or miniature handbags. Even doll-sized jewellery or funky shoes can make Labubu look runway-ready and reflect your aesthetic. Themed dressing for seasons and festivals Dress Labubu according to seasons—think monsoon raincoats, summer florals, or winter knits—or deck them out for Diwali, Christmas, or even your birthday celebrations! Scented fabrics or perfumed closets Infuse Labubu's outfits or storage box with a soft, safe fragrance using sachets or scented drawer liners. It adds a sensory layer to the pampering experience. Tiny tattoos or face stickers Use washable markers, bindis, or nail art stickers to give Labubu little tattoos, freckles, or face art that can be changed depending on their 'mood.'

Ashwath Bhatt: Ashwath Bhatt: If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on around you
Actor has been playing the role of Saadat Hasan Manto in the play Ek Mulaqat Manto Se for over a decade, and he believes that we have inhabited the world that the late writer lived in. The relevance, in today's life and times, is a stark reminder that Manto showed us a world that was equally, if not more, apathetic. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Imagine what Manto would say when he read about Gaza today – about lives being lost, of children dying. Nothing much has changed – in every generation, it seems like he is alive and writing about the world now. Truth is always uncomfortable and that is the reality of the world,' says Ashwath. Ahead of performing the play in the city, the Raazi actor spoke about Manto-yat, its universal appeal, his work and more. Excerpts: 'Manto's stories have universal appeal' as Saadat Hasan Manto in a still from his play. Ashwath says that reading Manto in the late 90s was a completely different experience for him. 'By then I had read Eugene O'Neill and Franz Kafka, among others, but I had never read anything so bold and strong. And I could relate it to what was going on in Kashmir at that time. Kashmir was always in the news – there was violence being reported every other day. I was extremely angry, and I could completely relate to Manto's stories and writings,' he says. While researching, Ashwath realised that nobody knew much about the perception of Manto and how he saw himself. 'And I thought this was an interesting character to play as an actor. Plus, Manto's stories have a universal appeal,' he adds. The actor explains that there are two parts to the play, set before - pre and post-partition. One is static and the other is moving. 'We all need to pay our bills and need the work' Ashwath reiterates the point that most actors in the industry make today, that the audience has evolved and has plenty of good content to choose from. 'Producers must realise that you need to give a big screen release some time before you decide to bring it to OTT platforms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If in 20 days, a new film is on OTT, how do you expect people to go to theatres to watch a film?' he asks. The actor says that the audience does not want to compromise on content. 'People have been exposed to Turkish, Spanish, Korean, Malayalam, and a variety of content from across the world. Bollywood needs to realise that people's tastes have changed,' he says, adding, 'A friend of mine who was a typical Bollywood masala film lover consumed a variety of content during the pandemic. Today he discusses Stanley Kubrick's films with me.' Ashwath also feels that good content is a huge struggle in Bollywood. 'The corporatisation of the industry, where you have a bunch of business school graduates deciding your script and storyline in 20 minutes, cannot produce great cinema. But we all need to pay our bills and need the work. It's not that there are no good stories written. But we need passionate producers to back them,' he adds. Ashwath Bhatt in Ek Mulaqat Manto Se 'Bollywood is not pure art, it's a commercial business' While the Indian film industry is not known to make political statements on global issues, Ashwath feels even if they are not politicians, artists have to be political. 'If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on in the world. You cannot be distant. You can't not be connected to what is going on in your country, in your society, in the world. Whether you are part of the system or not. Whether you have raised your voice or kept silent – everything will be written about. You are part of history,' he opines. Referring to the Iranian cinema and theatre, Ashwath shares, 'Censorship is perhaps the toughest in Iran. But they have filmmakers like Jafar Panahi and Mohsen Makhmalbaf, among others, who always find a way to be political through their work without compromising on entertainment or engagement value. That's what I call a connect, and that is art. But then, Bollywood is not pure art — it is a commercial business.' On avoiding the jingoistic tropes in commercial cinema Ashwath Bhatt as Malik in The Diplomat Ashwath has had a long run in Bollywood, playing crucial roles in films like Raazi, Mission Majnu and Kesari, among others. The actor admits that he was not ready to play the role of Malik, Director General of Pakistan's ISI, in The Diplomat, immediately after his role in IB71 (where he plays the ISI intelligence chief). 'If the director has a vision and clarity, it helps. Shivam Nair (director of The Diplomat) was clear he did not want jingoism, no bashing people from across the border. The film was based on a true story, and the brief was to keep it realistic. Initially, I was not sure and wanted to shy away from this typical trope. I had done a couple of films with similar supporting characters and did not want to go into that zone again. But Shivam convinced me. He gave me the freedom to create the character the way I wanted to, in terms of appearance, mannerisms etc, and I am glad the character stood out,' says Ashwath.
