Midsummer dreams for men

Express News Service The sweltering season has us all looking at clothes that are both comfortable and classic. Raghavendra Rathore Jodhpur’s new summer collection is all this and more. With silhouettes made using the season’s staple—cotton—Rathore has launched a range of bespoke tailored looks that also include specialised denims and gabardines in a host of colours. “The beauty of bespoke is that one is not a victim to fashion cycles. However, one cannot entirely negate the concept of a fashion cycle either, but certainly cherry pick its best elements,” says Rathore, who feels that post the pandemic, how people look at luxury products has evolved. While customisation has been the cornerstone of the brand, how garments are presented has certainly changed quite a bit.

Your one-stop-shop for customised furniture

Express News Service For those looking for a far more hands-on approach to furniture rather than just going to a store and buying it, the Mangrove Collective in Delhi is just the place. With products that are a fusion of design, art, craft and technology, the firm works around the concept of the ‘design and make workshop’ which is not just about offering a service, but about celebrating local resources and traditional craftsmanship, and where designers, craftsmen and clients are all equal partners. Suman Sharma “We create and ideate not only on paper but with materials, through prototypes and details,” explains Suman Sharma, Principal and Head of Business, and a NID alumnus with a master’s in furniture design. “We experiment with proportions, permutations and combinations to translate visions into physical objects. Materials form the canvas for our explorations. When designing a chair, for instance, we develop full-scale drawings, not just on CAD, they are hand drawn on plywood or MDF; patterns are cut, and proportions tested and tweaked. A typical chair could go through as many as five cycles of iterations before the final design comes along, something we would be satisfied with.” 

SG Vasudev's collages find their way to new Bengaluru artshow

Clippings from newspapers and magazines. Cardboard. Myriad colours and textures. Sepia-tinged paper. Pages from his artistic biography… All this and more seamlessly merge deep undertones of uncertainty with a sense of joie de vivre as part of octogenarian artist SG Vasudev’s recent exhibition of collages, ‘Montage of Memories’, at Gallery Sumukha, Bengaluru. “Almost a year-and-a-half ago, Premilla Baid of the Sumukha Gallery told me that she would like to celebrate 25 years of the gallery in 2021 and that one of the events should be my exhibition. I happily accepted the offer,” he says. The pandemic meant that Vasudev could not go to his large studio or his farm studio (at an hour’s drive from the city). Not to give up, he started doing some drawings at home and began pasting some glazed silver and gold colour wedding invitations on to the drawings.

Pak love story: How Mysore Pak became South India's pioneer sweet

Express News Service A sea of people had gathered around a hole-in-the-wall shop in Mysore's bustling Devaraja Market. Social distancing was obviously not their thing. A local vendor was selling hot pieces of the local favourite, Mysore Pak. The sweets were handed out on pieces of newspaper. One bite, and we know why the noise here never dies down. The shop, Guru Sweets, is the oldest sweet shop in the city. It was once owned by the ancestors of Kakasura Madappa, who is credited with the invention of Mysore Pak in 1935. The-golden-coloured, ghee-soaked sweet’s birth was quite accidental. One day, Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, who was the king of Mysore between 1894-1940, was expecting special guests. He ordered the royal cook, Kakasura Madappa, to make something special.

Escape routineness of life, check in to heritage

Express News Service A 25-minute ride from Ahmedabad’s international airport brings us into India’s first smart city, Gujarat International Finance Tec-City. Our destination is the Grand Mercure Gandhinagar GIFT City that we visited to get away from the routineness of life that has come to become the new normal.   You could consider the hotel if you’re looking for a quick getaway from in and around the city. You can choose to duck into bed and sleep off your stay like many youngsters like doing to get rid of work-life weariness but we suggest you make time for a few activities during your stay.  There is a wall embellished with dextrously made kite motifs at the pre-function hall. These are inspired by the famous kite festival of Gujarat. In bright colours, they display Kutch embroidery as well as local block prints. The nine kites are placed in a free-flowing form and we find that the wall décor is a good introduction to the state’s handicrafts.
