In an exclusive conversation with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, the dynamic Shivani Nirupam opens up about building Label Shivani Nirupam, a print-led, purpose-driven label, navigating India’s evolving fashion landscape, and why true luxury today lies in thoughtful design, emotional connection, and clothes that move with the woman who wears them.
In 2026, the world of beauty is defining itself not by fleeting gimmicks but by experience, intention, and joined-up innovation... a season where science, artistry, sustainability, and personal identity converge to create looks that feel lived-in, intelligent, and deeply personal. The era of heavy makeup and one-size solutions is giving way to skin-first radiance, expressive accents, smart beauty tech and thoughtful self-care that mirrors modern lifestyles.
Tanira: In an exclusive conversation with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of TheGlitz, founder Himanshi Nagpal speaks passionately about how Tanira... shaped by a dialogue across two generations... proves that true luxury lies in restraint, resonance, and the quiet confidence of clothing that simply understands women, offering something far rarer: longevity.
This is not a political commentary. We at TheGlitz strongly advocate peace not as a passive ideal, but as a conscious, courageous choice. In an age of relentless noise, outrage cycles, and performative morality, peace must be claimed with intent. As a platform that chronicles culture, conscience, and change, TheGlitz stands firmly for dialogue over division, humanity over hatred, and empathy over ego. ...Because true progress, true power, and true luxury cannot exist in a world constantly at war with itself.

Here in an interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz, Rhea Poddar Loyalka, speaks about how she reframes jewellery as something deeply personal...
Across India, harvest season signals more than the arrival of grain... it marks a celestial pause, a moment when the sun shifts its course and the country collectively turns towards gratitude, renewal, and abundance. Makar Sankranti is among the rare festivals that transcends geography. Known as Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Magh Bihu in Assam, Poush Sankranti in West Bengal, and celebrated alongside Lohri in Punjab, it unfolds differently in every region, yet remains bound by a shared cultural rhythm.

Far from the roar of stadiums and red carpets, Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra recently chose silence, sand, and sky for a deeply personal family retreat at Bab Al Shams Desert Resort. Tucked into Dubai’s golden dunes, the iconic property offered the former Indian cricketer and the actress something increasingly rare... time that moves slowly, luxury that feels lived-in, and moments designed for togetherness rather than spectacle.
As winter softens and the sun begins its northward journey, India bursts into celebration. From the crackle of bonfires at Lohri, to the golden harvest joy of Makar Sankranthi, the earthy rhythms of Tussu Parab, and the vibrant festivities of Pongal and Bihu, these festivals honour abundance, gratitude, and renewal. They are moments when communities come together, traditions take centre stage, and age-old rituals glow with contemporary relevance.
Winter menus are everywhere right now. Some have to do with harvest festivals, others just leaning into the cold and what people want to eat. Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri: different names, different dishes, same magic. Whether you're home or far from it, there's something close enough. TheGlitz team found the ones that matter. Festive pop-ups, exclusive specials running through the week or the month. Some remind you of home. Some show you what you've been missing. January's short.
