“Be you, be original, don’t try to be one amongst the herd” says fashion & costume designer -Darshan Jalan & team

New Delhi (India), April 8: Darshan Jalan can be credited for changing the narrative of fashion in films, runway & street style. His costumes in films like Vikram Veda, Ankhon Dekhi, Dum Lagake Haisha, Teen, Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, 24 (Tamil), Kahani 2, Sui-Dhaaga, Mithya and web series like Mirzapur, Delhi Crime2, Leila and many more have fetched him a loyal fan base for acing the looks of actors in their characters. He understands the nitty-gritty of the ever-evolving fashion industry, and hence, the need to experiment with newer trends and styles to keep up with the modern-day trends.

Jalan’s story is equal parts inspiring and relatable. An alumnus of NIFT Mumbai, Darshan started his career as a men’s wear designer for Provogue, followed by Killer Jeans and Options Juhu as their in-house designer. He says that his frugal life in Mumbai for a greater part of early 2000’s was challenging but also built his character.

Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women was the first opportunity into movies and a stepping stone to recognition and appreciation he has established in the Indian movie industry. Many award nominations and goodwill has been bestowed upon him but he is far from being complacent.

Born in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Darshan is an artist, designer and a visionary. Growing up in a family that has an astound appreciation for the Arts provided him a platform, but it was his time at Scindia School set within the grand architecture of Gwalior Fort that sparked his interest in design, aesthetics, and storytelling.

Jalan is a private person by nature and likes to keep himself busy. His one-track mission to create a new landscape for costume design in Indian cinema keeps him focused in the times of criticism and self-doubt.

“I think it’s important to know as many skills as you can along the way and keep growing with times. But I think it’s also important to have a unique point of view – be original and don’t try to be one amongst the herd” says Darshan Jalan who also has two design partners, Neelanchal Ghosh and Manish Tiwari.

Dior Collaborates with Indian Artists Madhvi & Manu Parekh for ‘Mul Mathi’ Exhibition

Renowned Indian Artists Madhvi and Manu Parekh displayed their work, including young art collectors Abeer Abrol, Aashna Abrol, with father, Vivek Abrol at Dior exhibition in Mumbai

 New Delhi (India), April 6: DIOR, a luxury goods conglomerate under LVMH, is pleased to announce the launch of ‘Mul Mathi’, an exhibition that features the works of prominent Indian artists Madhvi and Manu Parekh. This collaboration continues Dior’s longstanding tradition of working with fine artists, such as Salvador Dali in the 1950s and Jeff Koons in 2016, to explore new techniques and materials and push the boundaries of fashion. With over 75 brands in its portfolio, including Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Givenchy, Bulgari, Sephora, and Dom Pérignon, LVMH is the world’s largest luxury goods company, renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability. Dior is headquartered in Paris, France.

Dior’s association with India goes back to the 1950s when Christian Dior himself created a collection inspired by the country’s rich textiles and vibrant colours. The collection celebrated the artistry and craftsmanship of Indian culture and was well-received by the fashion industry.

On the evening of March 29th, 2023, prominent art connoisseurs graced the event, including young and discerning art collectors Abeer and Aashna Abrol, accompanied by their father, Vivek Abrol. Among the attendees were close family friends of the talented artists Madhvi and Manu Parekh, who relished the exhibition, immersed in jovial conversations, sipping exquisite cocktails, and enjoying the rich cultural experience, while sharing cherished anecdotes.

“Collecting art can be a rewarding and enriching experience, allowing collectors to appreciate and share the beauty and cultural significance of the pieces they own,” says Aashna Vivek Abrol, who has interviewed over 35 prominent artists on their techniques and gained a deep understanding of the stories behind their art. Abeer Vivek Abrol says, “Our collection reflects our passion for exploring diverse mediums and styles, and we believe that art has the power to enrich and inspire our lives.”

Young art collectors play a vital role in shaping the cultural landscape of a country, promoting cultural exchange and helping in the fast-growing development of India. Abeer has tried to promote cultural exchange while obtaining his Master’s degree from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London and New York. Instilling a love for art in the youth will help build a legacy that will ensure the preservation and continued appreciation of art in their country. They represent the next generation of art patrons. In

In this case, Aashna has already begun the process of documenting these important exchanges in the database for future generations at www.pozoart.com.

Madhvi Parekh and Manu Parekh, both born in Gujarat, have spent a significant part of their lives in Delhi. Madhvi Parekh is a renowned Indian artist known for her bold and colourful compositions. Her works draw inspiration from the folk art traditions of India, including Madhubani and Warli. Manu Parekh is a celebrated artist known for his paintings that explore the complexities of urban life and human emotions. His works are characterized by a vivid use of colours and a distinctive style that blends elements of Indian and Western art.

The exhibition showcases a series of artworks inspired by the traditional art form of ‘mul-mathi’, which refers to the art of creating designs using multiple small dots. It features a collection of paintings by both artists, highlighting their unique perspectives and approaches to art-making. The artworks on display range from abstract compositions to figurative depictions of everyday life, all of which are infused with a sense of vibrancy and energy.

The exhibition has been well-received by art enthusiasts and critics alike, with many praising the artists’ ability to seamlessly blend traditional techniques with contemporary sensibilities. The exhibition is also a testament to Dior’s commitment to promoting and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of India while also fostering collaborations with local artists and designers.

Nithanya Thothiyana Founder of Nithi honored with Prestigious HMTV Naari Puraskar 2023

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], April 3: Nithanya Thothiyana, the Founder and entrepreneur of the clothing brand Nithi, has been honored with the prestigious HMTV Nari Puraskar 2023. Celebrating the elegance of womanhood and also expressing gratitude towards women for their contribution to society, hmtv, for the first time, organised the Nari Puraskar-2023 (women awards) in Hyderabad on Friday.

The award ceremony took place at the JRC Convention Centre in Hyderabad on March 31, 2023. The event was attended by prominent figures, including Telangana Education Minister Smt. Sabitha Indra Reddy, BRS MLC Smt. Kavitha, Smt. Roja Selvamani (Minister for Tourism, Culture and Youth Advancement of Andhra Pradesh), and Smt. Laxmi Rao (CEO, HMTV).

The HMTV Nari Puraskar is awarded to women who have made significant contributions to their respective fields, and Nithanya’s hard work and dedication to her clothing brand were recognized with this prestigious award. Speaking about her achievement, Nithanya expressed her gratitude towards all the stakeholders who have supported her throughout her entrepreneurial journey.

Nithanya Thothiyana, the founder and entrepreneur of clothing brand Nithi, had a passion for the fashion industry since she was 16. Initially, she wanted to become a model and South Indian actress, but she had to discontinue her engineering studies to pursue her dream. Unfortunately, an early arranged marriage at the age of 20 affected her career aspirations. After a failed marriage, she was left emotionally and financially broken, but she never lost hope. She started working in small-scale employment, selling general knowledge books all over Karnataka. Despite facing many challenges, including sleeping on the floor in temples and experiencing a major accident, she never lost her determination to lead an independent life.

Nithanya’s life took a positive turn when she moved to Bangalore and started working in various jobs, including customer support executive and modeling. She fulfilled her dream of becoming an actor and acted in a blockbuster hit movie, but a failed relationship and a legal issue affected her career. She then moved to Hyderabad to start a career in public relations and eventually discovered her true passion for business. During the pandemic, she started her own clothing brand, Nithi, with a small office setup in Banjara Hills. With a personal loan, gold loan, and some help from her parents, she launched her offline store in Punjagutta. Despite facing many struggles and difficulties, Nithanya stood bravely without losing confidence in herself. Today, she is a successful entrepreneur and hopes to inspire other women who struggle to build their careers and dreams.

Nithanya’s win has added more responsibility as an entrepreneur, and she is determined to continue creating unique and high-quality clothing that reflects the personality and style of her customers. Nithi has always been committed to sustainability and fair trade practices, and Nithanya is determined to continue this commitment and take the brand to new heights.

Nithanya’s success story is an inspiration to many young women entrepreneurs, and her dedication and hard work have been rightly recognized with the HMTV Nari Puraskar. She has set an example for other women entrepreneurs to follow and has shown that with the right mindset, hard work, and determination, anything is possible.
