Nike x Tiffany & Co.: A sneakerheads’ dream collab?

The Nike x Tiffany Air Force 1 1837 pays homage to Tiffany's "humble" beginnings as a "luxury goods shop," where silver was king. But it's also a showcase for its characteristic blue, which was chosen by the company's founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany, in 1845 for its annual Blue Book, a catalogue from which rich customers could place orders and sample upcoming items.

But then there’s social media and society’s deep-rooted judgement against misfits like a tacky outfit repeater. How do we manage both – or do we?

The charm of gold jewellery

Jewellery, especially the ones given at weddings, hold special meanings in their intricate designs. Each piece has its own story to tell. The olden ‘tikli’ (the forehead pendant that had the star and moon designs carved up in red rubies and whitish yellow ‘pukhraj’ or yellow sapphire stones) promotes prosperity, wealth, and marital bliss. The lover’s knot or ‘prem fash’ designed chain holds its meaning in the name. ‘Prem’ in Bengali is love, and ‘fash’ means a grip, so as the name suggests, it is a lover’s grip, a treasured design construed in a bangle or chain given to the beloved as a wedding-night gift.

5 leather jackets to have

Leather jackets have their roots in traditional utilitarianism, even though they are frequently associated with stylish bad guys. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leather jackets were mainly used as practical apparel.
