Premium men’s care brand Phy aims to cut the chase for safe yet effective hairstyling products with its Headspace range that levels up your hairstyling quotient without compromising on haircare…writes N. Lothungbeni Humtsoe.

In most of the times, fashion is accompanied with women more than men. However you wear your hair less or more, long or short, messy or well set, wavy or straight you’ll always carry a hairstyle. Through the ages and across, hair has been an extension of ones persona, and a good hairstyle is as important as it can get for any man. Men today are definitely not skeptical about experimenting with their hair, given the dynamic styles right from the classic side sweeps of the 70s to the contemporary man buns and Mohawks.

But what is good style without a bit of care? That worried voice at the back of your head warning about the cons of using hair styling products does deserve some attention, right? That’s why it’s important to use products that bring style and care together in equal bits.

However, most hair styling products out there are made of synthetic polymers that make hair dry, brittle and prone to breakage after prolonged usage. Premium men’s care brand Phy aims to cut the chase for safe yet effective hairstyling products with its Headspace range that levels up your hairstyling quotient without compromising on haircare.

Let’s take a closer look at the hairstyles men can curate with these products.

For guys who’d say yes to a bit of drama in their hair!

Recreate Elvis Presley’s iconic Quiff or Zac Efron’s faux mohawk with a Setting Clay that offers a strong hold and a matte finish to your hair. Apply, set, comb, or blow dry and you’re going to end up with a hairstyle that remains intact even if Thanos snaps his fingers again!

Pro Tip: Choose a Setting Clay enriched with kaolin and bentonite clays that absorb dirt and oil, plant-based waxes that lend desired hold, and oat extracts that repair damaged hair.

For guys who’re into effortless styling

Whether it is Beckham’s legendary pompadour you’ve been eyeing, a classic side part or a carefully curated messy bedhead a Creme Wax is what you need with its offering of medium hold and shine. A quick run of your fingers or a comb through your hair can let you restyle your hair adding that extra element of versatility.

Pro Tip: Select a Crime Wax enriched with plant-based waxes that adds hold and shine, along with olive and castor oils that condition and nourish the hair.

For guys who believe in less is more

A Styling Gel is your answer if you want the old school slicked-back hair or Robert Pattinson’s spikes straight outta ‘Twilight’. A gel can offer a light hold and light shine, perfect for occasions when you want to lend a more natural touch to your hair while using a styling product to keep it set in place.

Pro Tip: Make sure that your Styling Gel is enriched with aloe extracts that hydrate the hair shafts and olive oil that gives extra nourishment to the hair.

No Comments on Shades of happiness in Fashion week

The inspiration for the collection is the ‘Valley of Flowers’ in Uttarakhand and I’m really just talking about ’50 Shades Of Happiness’…Suneet Varma speaks with Puja Gupta.

There wasn’t a single person who remained unaffected by the pandemic, and fashion designer Suneet Varma feels that here has been an impact on creativity because of it.

“I actually have felt more creative,” the designer tells as he launched his collection ’50 Shades Of Happiness’ at the ongoing phygital FDCI x LFW event.

Talking about how the industry will fare in the future and his own personal take on the global crisis, Varma speaks to in depth.

Excerpts:

Q:Did the pandemic bring about any change in your design philosophy?

A:Yes certainly, there has been an impact on creativity because of the pandemic. Most people have come out of the pandemic a little bit changed — some for the better, some for the worse, some have had to deal with their own personal issues, some have had to deal with financial issues.

I actually have felt more creative. I also feel that fast fashion is not something that we necessarily have to adapt to or embrace. I think something more classic, something more beautiful, something that’s forever, something that’s timeless is more my focus for creativity right now.

Q:How do you see the future of the fashion industry taking shape in a post-Covid period?

A:Most certainly, the pandemic has brought the entire world to a standstill, not just the fashion industry. And the fashion industry like any other industry has had to brace itself and get on with it. I think it’s really important. And life is for the living, so we all have to live it and live it up as well. A pandemic is something that comes along every 100 years and it takes a good 5-10 years to overcome it completely. But it’s nice to stay on the positive side. I personally feel the pandemic has been good in some ways for the world — it made the world stop and think and take stock of their own life.

I’ve actually worked more diligently, harder, and in some ways with more satisfaction through the pandemic. We have done fashion week last season, we are doing fashion week this season, we have done couture week — we have never done these many shows and collections ever through a year — so I feel you can sit back and wait for the tide to turn or you just literally have to swim to the shore yourself.

Q:What has been your greatest achievement?

A:I don’t look at my life as having achieved anything great — there are far more important emotions I believe in — such as happiness, satisfaction, love for life and my passion for my work. Even after 30 years of doing the same thing, I still believe my greatest work is in my future collections!

Q:Tell us about the inspiration behind this collection.

A:The inspiration for the collection is the ‘Valley of Flowers’ in Uttarakhand and I’m really just talking about ’50 Shades Of Happiness’. I think coming out of the pandemic it becomes really imperative and important that we find joy in almost anything… so I call it ’50 Shades Of Happiness’ — look for happiness in smaller things and whatever will make your day more joyful.

The collection really symbolises the importance of staying mentally fit and alert and being able to deal with calamities and coming out of it feeling joy — it can be through colour, art, music — it can be anything that gives you a certain satisfaction and happiness. The collection offers a lot of colour — which is very unusual for my work. It offers a lot of beautiful light silhouettes and very happy tonal embroideries.

Q:Who do you see wearing your collection?

A:I see all my clientele all over the world wearing the collection since it symbolises Happiness — the one emotion we all need most after a very difficult year post the pandemic. The collection is joyful and exuberant and will add that extra spark to bridal dressing.

T-shirt is the ideal choice for a warm day, not all T-shirts are coordinated and effective for springtime convenience…writes Puja Gupta.

T-shirts are suitable and most lovely kind of cloth to men and women. Summer is here, and it’s time for our T-shirts to make a comeback after months of being overshadowed by hoodies and shirts. However, while the T-shirt is the ideal choice for a warm day, not all T-shirts are coordinated and effective for springtime convenience. You’ll struggle if you wear a bulky tee made of non-breathable material.

T-shirts have become extremely flexible in recent years and can be worn for many occasions. There are different styles of t-shirts and which one you wear is a personal choice. Here are a few suggestions by Shivam Soni, Founder & CEO, Beyoung Folks Private Limited that can help you make the right choice:

Super Hero look – A superhero t-shirt is just the thing to get your blood pumping and leave you feeling like a superhero while also making you look like one.

Motivational Tees – These t-shirts are great for your wardrobe because the imprinted quotes can inspire and motivate you.

Classic Plain style – Plain t-shirts exist in a vibrant array, or choice of colors that you can style in a variety of ways.

Sporty look – These t-shirts are all about the joy when you’re cheering for your favorite player or team in the crowd whether you’re a sports person or sports fan.

Cartoon tees for cartoon lovers – What child doesn’t like watching cartoons? These t-shirts will take you back to your childhood.

Before buying a summer T-shirt, certain fabric characteristics should be considered. The fabric should be light in weight so that it is easy to walk around in. It also has a function that circulates air around your body, keeping you cool and refreshed. It should be able to absorb enough moisture to quickly absorb all of your sweat. Most importantly, it should be cool and comfortable to wear.

A pair of glamorous golden or red chunky heels is the perfect pick for the bride who believes in keeping the glam quotient high and making a grand entrance…writes Puja Gupta.

Wedding day is the most memorable day in everyone’s life. Spring wedding season is fast approaching, and brides-to-be must already be on their toes, planning everything down to the very last detail. Planning a perfect wedding is no small feat.

From doing rounds of multiple outlets every day to buy your dream lehenga, to visiting one jewellery store after another to finalise that perfect ‘rani-haar’, it can all feel a tad overwhelming at times. Owing to the ceaseless wedding check-list, brides generally tend to put off shopping for the perfect footwear till the very last moment, and then end up opting for the wrong pair due to time constraint. The right pair of shoes can make or break your entire look. Sometimes a perfect pair of shoes is all you need to add a dash of magic to your entire ensemble; we all remember what it did for Cinderella, right?

Well, no need to fret just yet! We have Matteo Lambert, Chief Collection Officer, Bata India Limited, to help you make the correct choice that will help you be every inch of the gorgeous bride that you always dreamt of being. Here are a few tips from him:

For the glam goddess

A pair of glamorous golden or red chunky heels is the perfect pick for the bride who believes in keeping the glam quotient high and making a grand entrance. The best thing about chunky heels is that you can pair it with a number of outfits in your wedding trousseau and have both your style and comfort quotient on point.
For the minimalist bride

If you are someone who likes to keep it minimal yet chic, you should go for footwear in pastel shades. From pumps to wedges to flats, pastel hues work phenomenally for all shoes styles. Shades like dirty pink, periwinkle blue, beige and lilac are going to be all the rage this wedding season.

For the hopeless romantic

If you are the quintessential romantic bride who wants the element of whimsy in her bridal ensemble, a pair of floral or bejeweled heels are the perfect choice.

Wedding ensemble.

For the laid-back bride

If you don’t believe in the entire big-fat-Indian-wedding hoopla and just want to relax and enjoy with your loved ones, then a pair of ballet flats would be your ideal bet. Ballets will allow you to dance the night away without worrying about the blisters and pain.

Top shoes trends for summer.

For the modern bride

Most new-age, millennial brides know exactly what they are looking for and aren’t big sticklers for rules and traditions. They love experimenting with the latest styles and giving it their own modern and quirky touch. For all such brides, sneakers would just be perfect. Sneakers are trendy, comfortable, stylish, and most importantly, easy to dance in!
