Sanjay Garg, Hanut Singh and India Art Fair to host Incandescent 2.0 in Hyderabad
Textile designer Sanjay Garg and jewellery designer Hanut Singh will present Incandescent 2.0, a meeting point of art, textiles and jewellery, in collaboration with the India Art Fair. Sanjay's flagship store Raw Mango will host an all-day exhibition curated by Belgian designer and stylist, Isla Maria Van Damme. The first edition of Incandescent was held in Delhi in 2023, showcasing Hanut's jewellery with global aesthetics and Sanjay's contemporary line of saris and garments worked upon by craft clusters in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Varanasi. Antique marble statues were used to display the statement jewellery pieces. Hanut, whose jewellery has adorned personalities such as Madonna, Meryl Streep, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Kareena Kapoor, says working with Raw Mango and the India Art Fair 'introduces structure, scale, and systems that are different from my usual rhythm. These collaborations also help me see my own work through a different lens, reframing how it's presented and how people engage with it.' Sanjay does not look at art, design, fashion and culture as compartmentalised silos: 'Design is not just fashion and what's visual. The idea of design is to create experiences that spark conversations on culture, heritage and history.' Hanut, who hails from the Karputhala royal family in Punjab, reflects on his shared interests with Sanjay: 'Many of my pieces are drawn from my time in the hills — their stillness, their organic forms, and that sense of awe at what reveals itself unexpectedly. For Sanjay too, Nature is a grounding force. You can see it in the way his Hyderabad store is anchored in a forest-like atmosphere.' In his first showcase in the city, Hanut will be presenting a mix of classics and current explorations. 'One of the standout pieces for me is the emerald windchimes; they combine technical artistry, with emeralds cut into delicate triangles, and a sense of lightness, movement, and balance.' Hanut's design inspirations range from history to architecture and Nature, reflected as forms of daggers, swords, or leaves. Sanjay and Hanut first collaborated for Raw Mango's 2021 collection, Romantics. Sanjay recalls, 'The collection was rooted in European influence on Indian saris. Textiles drew from the Rococo period, developing a new language of botanicals — flora and fauna — in woven form. It's the same distinctly European language that influences Hanut's work, it made perfect sense.' Hanut says that their interests, rooted in craft, heritage, modernity, and luxury, helped them complement each other's work. 'Our languages may not seem like obvious companions at first glance, mine more maximal and Sanjay more of a minimalist, but they sit beautifully together — both drawing from the past while reimagining it for the present, with an eye to the future.' They also discovered that they had clients in common — Kiran Rao, Mira Nair, and Karisma Kapoor. Hanut says, 'So perhaps the challenge isn't in the aesthetics themselves, but in the wearer — in whether she has the confidence to mix genres. Many of the women who inspire me, like Gayatri Devi or my grandmother, Sita Devi, did exactly that, pairing their chiffons with Cartier or Boucheron, rather than jadau or more traditional forms.' Sanjay adds that the curation of found objects and textiles reflects how their perspectives exist together. As for choosing Hyderabad for the exhibition, Sanjay says it was one of Raw Mango's earliest markets. 'The city is an interesting mix of history and modernity. It is one of the most multicultural cities in the south — cosmopolitan, multilinguistic, even with their food.' (Incandescent 2.0 will be on view at Raw Mango store, road no.1, Banjara Hills, on August 6)

From leopard prints to waist cut-outs: Kareena Kapoor Khan is serving looks!
is not just a Bollywood icon, she's a fashion force whose style evolution continues to inspire and impress. At 44, Kareena proves that glamour has no expiry date. Her latest editorial spread for The Nod magazine is a testament to her unshakable confidence, effortless elegance, and ability to channel a new fashion energy with every look. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Taking to Instagram Stories, Kareena gave her followers a glimpse of the striking outfits from the shoot, and each ensemble was a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling. From classic glam to androgynous drama, from breezy sophistication to fiery sensuality - Kareena served it all, and more. The noir muse Kareena kicked off the style parade in a black body-hugging number by Norma Kamali. The form-fitting gown featured a daring sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit, commanding attention with its sculpted elegance. Draped effortlessly over her shoulders was a long-sleeved leopard-print jacket, adding a punch of wild glamour to the otherwise minimalist silhouette. Celebrity stylist Naheed Driver finished the look with statement jewellery: a Hanut dagger pendant adorned with emeralds, rubies, and diamonds, and a bold cross necklace in gold and ruby detailing. The styling spoke of power and allure, a look that could easily belong on the red carpet or a Milan runway. Androgynous royalty For her second look, Kareena channelled fierce sophistication in a plaid ensemble by Rahul Mishra. The oversized double-breasted coat with its dramatically puffed shoulders - exuded a regal power-play vibe. Paired with high-waisted, straight-cut trousers in matching red-and-black plaid, the look was equal parts structured and playful. It's a modern, exaggerated spin on traditional tailoring, one that only someone as self-assured as Kareena could wear without being overshadowed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dreamy in pastel feathers Softening the mood, Kareena next appeared in a serene pale yellow gown by Taller Marmo. The off-shoulder silhouette flowed beautifully, punctuated by delicate feather trim at the neckline, subtle yet show-stopping. The lightweight fabric and sun-kissed hue made it a quintessential summer statement, perfect for seaside soirées or sunset weddings. Diamond garland earrings by Hanut added just the right dose of sparkle, proving that minimalism can still be memorable. The bold burnt orange moment The final look was a monochromatic burnt orange dress from Ralph Lauren, defined by a plunging V-neck and midriff cutouts that framed Kareena's waist with precision. The ruched detailing added texture, while the full sleeves balanced the boldness of the exposed waist. Accessories were kept minimal, just a bracelet and rings on one hand. Hair worn down and a fresh, barely-there makeup look gave the entire outfit a relaxed yet refined finish. Whether wrapped in structured plaid or sweeping feathers, Kareena Kapoor continues to prove that true style isn't just about trends - it's about attitude, authenticity, and evolution. This editorial isn't just a fashion moment. It's a reminder: Kareena doesn't follow fashion. She defines it.
