SIMPLICITY IS SWEET The first issue of Le Luxe celebrates the winds of change in the emerging realm of sustainable Indian fashion. Entwinning the rich heritage of the past with the relavence of the present is all what ‘Green Is The New Black’ is about. Our Cover was graced by one of India’s currently most sought-after models, Nikita Sahay. It celebrated the essence that true luxury lies in simplicity. The ‘Luxe Affair’ section provides a panoramic view of the running theme ranging from ‘Natural Luxe’ to ‘The Anokhi Story’. Its all about taking a pause, going back to the roots and embracing it in the fast-paced present. Guiding you straight to the runway, the ‘Fashion’ segment updates you with the latest happenings of Autumn/ Winter 2015-16 and Fall Couture 2015. Refresh yourself in ethereal whites as our Stylist, Meenakshi Bajpai brings a fresh take on the ‘White On White’ trend. Pamper the skin you’re as our Beauty Director, Yashna Chopra brings to you the best looks of the season. Ponder over grey areas and question your conscious with Le Luxe’s ‘Reflect’. From ‘Gender Blur’, ‘Role Reversal’ to ‘Is Couture losing its touch’, the segment sniffs out the growing contemplations in the industry. Immerse yourself in opulence as ‘Le Luxe Life’ brings to you the best in fashion and lifestyle from designer collaborations- ‘Designer X Restaurants’ to an eye for the exotic with ‘Bora Bora’. From holding a fashion magazine to creating one’s own, the outlook will never be the same. From leading a team of talented individuals to editorial design, it has been quite a feat. Le Luxe is all about the minimalistic beauty with understated content and visuals. Exageration can be done by anybody, but it is the art of simplicity that is the hardest to master.
