Verve - May 2016

Verve’s fashion special gives you all the lowdown on the sartorial world. From all the trends straight from the ramps of Fashion Week 2016 to a peek into the lives of ace designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, get your dose of style and mode. Illustrators and doodlers visually represent fashion-related concepts in an exclusive graphic story for Verve, as we also talk about the newest trends of the season and the return of the androgynous look.

We give readers the best books of the month, as well as a glimpse into a special exhibition on Barbie's fashion through the years. Verve also traces the journeys of upcoming designers making a name for themselves with their works on and off the ramp.

Get a sniff of fashion-inspired fragrances in our beauty section, and know the make-up secrets of several stylish women, while Verve teaches you how to 'dress your face' in the beauty story of the month.

We capture jewellery designer Payal Mehta in her gorgeous Dubai home, and three world-travellers write about the art, culture and style of their favourite international cities in our Scapes section. Verve gets chefs to create a mouthwatering dish using chocolate and lavender, as we also take you on trips to New Zealand and Peru.
