FROM THE EDIT ROOM
ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF A PERFECT SUMMER Summer is finally upon us in all its sweltering glory. Break out the hot dogs, the cold drinks, the ball game and the tanning lotion. With electricity bills shooting up, what with all the ACs and coolers we suddenly so desperately yearn for, there is still a fun side to summer as well – sunbathing, pool parties, cold and creamy smoothies and of course the summer holidays! Now is the perfect time to pack those bags and jet off to a place that is relatively cooler. If you don’t think a trip to another hemisphere is needed just to cool off, then a small tour close by can also be quite therapeutic and give you that much needed break.

SUMMER INSPIRATION Corneliani presents the Spring Summer 2018 collection, inspired by comfort and seasons!
40
In keeping with its legacy of elegantly tailored Italian menswear, Corneliani has announced its Spring-Summer collection. The new collection from the Italian menswear house is tightly related to comfort, elegance and immaculate detailing. The collection promises to hit the right note with the younger, more organized gentleman.
Fluidity & Movement Being a part of the Corneliani look is like belonging to a club where elective affinity determines membership. The idea of fluidity and movement has been the inspiration for the next season, which offers a fully coordinated wardrobe that flows from a metropolitan look to one of leisure. The story that the brand has come up with is of a voyage, through city and desert, structured in three chapters and written with the language of color, in pigments borrowed from an impressionist painting.
Spring Time This collection is dominated by cool tones: nuanced shades of the new “whale” blue are matched with masculine grays which are illuminated xxx
with an oil green accent, exclusively used for the accessories and knits. Techniques: New pinstripes with frisé effect and interrupted lines give a modern signature to traditional tailored fabrics. The crisp blues are conceived alongside warm grays and browns, in a series of proposals exploring the theme ofwindowpane patterns. Clever handling of the tones underlines textural contrasts, and new structures give a dynamism to fabrics and yarns, creating a look that is both casual and elegant. Strong contrasts, such as beige and black, hint at an identity that is sporty, yet sophisticated. Violet-toned inky hues run through the entire collection, creating a surprising harmony. Emphasis on detail creates a synthesis between sportswear and tailored garments: hydro zips, nylon with prints extracted from traditional drapery, and cottons with a membrane add functionality, while maintaining a tailored look.
Sunny Time
The colors become bolder and blend to create new color combinations. The various shades of oil green illuminate and determine the balance of color. They are combined with all the shades of gray, from pale to black. Weightlessness is the dominant characteristic: garments are airy, and constructed in impalpable nylons, fabrics have strong mat weave textures and structures that are reminiscent of patterns created in sand blown by the wind.
Full Summer A full-blown summer style is dominated by burnt tones of “terracotta” coupled with the purest white, and natural desert tones enriched with “tuareg blue” and ocher. The soft silhouette and natural fabrics contribute to the overriding sense of extreme sophistication and relaxation.

Brand Beginnings
A Luxiorious Charm
Merging architectural and design expertise, L’Opulence brings Luxury Furniture to create a design-centric, aesthetic charm to your home.
Architecture and design are not static professions: styles evolve, technologies advance and challenges propel. Out of this belief was born L’Opulence, the brainchild of two young, creative, dynamic, design entrepreneurs, Namrata Rajpal and Suhana Manchanda, who have come together with their respective experience in design and interior decorating to fashion a design-centric environment that attempts to re-define luxury furniture. Namrata Rajpal and Suhana Manchanda do not believe in limiting their work to a distinctive style. Every project has its own unique essence which is tapped into to ensure design relevance and create pieces that empower. They use an amalgamation of raw materials ranging from leather, fur, wood and other fibres with the utilitarian aspect of furniture design. Their products harness the energy of wind, water and fire elements into their work. The designer’s passion lies in developing products
42
by taking an unlikely material or an object and creating something useful and beautiful. This was the inspiration behind their latest collection, The Elysian.
Latest Collection: Elysian Elysian, the first collection launched by L’Opulence, remains true to the philosophy of its designers as it experiments with materials such as bullhorn, mother of pearl, hair on cowhide and leather in its various forms to recreate classic styles that have somehow gotten lost in the flurry of contemporary design. L’Opulence creates an entire collection that manages to integrate iconic styles such as the winged back chairs and sizeable chaise lounges with contemporary materials and craftsmanship. Hand embroidered and individually moulded, each piece is truly unique and deeply inspired. Effortlessly marrying the cracked Italian leather with the hair on cowhide, the Chaise Lounge is one of the star products of the Elysian.
Design Inspiration Drawing from their previous experience with interior designing, Suhana and Namrata understood the plight of people when it came to curating furniture that didn’t clash with what they already owned but remained in line with their evolving tastes. Keeping this in mind, they designed the Elysian collection in a manner wherein each product is managed to perfectly synergise with contrasting pieces. They also designed sub-collection within it, such as the Bullhorn Collection, the Leather collection and the Rosiette Collection for those trying to select pieces with a similar design tones to harmonise rooms.
The USP The creative minds at L’Opulence believe that their furniture is an outcome of an attempt to create functional art. To ensure the ability of their work to provoke an emotion or begin a conversation, each product is created around a source of profound inspiration. The Chasm table, draws inspiration from the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi that treats breakage as part of the history of an object and celebrates these imperfections by using gold as a medium for repair. Similarly, the Mandala Winged Chair, the Nemean Chair and the Rosiette Collection are all designed around worldly philosophies. xxx

Modern Touch, Vintage Feel The designer has incorporated traditional motifs and techniques of embroidery and surface ornamentation onto unconventional modern silhouettes in his signature style. The collection is a playful mix of womenswear and menswear pieces, offering insights into the creative ideas of juxtaposing the use of crystal application along with the use of surface embellishments, metal hardware with contrasting patches and applique work. Interesting elements like ostrich feathers, intricate floral meshwork, lace and leather detailing create a dramatic appeal. Hombre effect forms an integral part throughout the collection in various forms and styles. Sequence, net overlay, embroidered dragons and tigers bring out an androgynous effect throughout the collection.
The Collection The collection revolves around monochrome tones like ivory, charcoal grey and midnight black. Engineered Fabrics like Jerseys, Parachute, Cottons, Neoprene and Mesh have been used to give a fun younger vibe to the collection. The collection comprises of unconventional silhouettes for men such as high-waisted hakama pants, parachute jackets, high-low hoodies with batwing sleeves, asymmetric overcoats, toggle jackets with leather applique work, bomber jackets with embroidered metal hardware and jogger pants. For womenswear, the collection involves knit dresses, chic boyfriend suits, bomber jackets with intricate zari embroidery, sequin embroidered kimonos, jumpers and high-waisted pants. Teeshirts with marble printing form the essence of the collection.
Verdict Fierce Reloaded is all about maximalist statement pieces for someone who is uninhibitedly fearless and confident to carry their personal style yet doesn’t let go of comfort. xxx

WBN LOVES
Coastal
Delights Taking inspiration from the traditional toddy shaaps of Kerala, The Toddy House celebrates coastal cuisine at its best. The WBN Team steps in for a taste 46
The Toddy Shop tries to bring to the table the simple sounding dishes with complex coastal flavours served at hole-in-the-wall shaaps. The beverage menu is designed with a twist on classics, with the usage of local ingredients.
First Impressions We chose to visit The Toddy House on a lazy Sunday noon. The ambience here is vibrant with a pop of colours like yellow, teal and orange in the chairs. The walls are decorated with a retro image of an elephant and movie posters from 60’s.
What We Ate We started with the Davazhakulam Long Strong Ice Tea, a take on the original LIIT. The drink had island vibes and came with agave, mango vodka, coconut flavored white rum, juniper infused with white spirit, triple sec, splash of bourbon, topped with coconut water and pineapple nectar. From the appetizers, the chef recommended the Malabar Anchovy Fry – red chilli marinated anchovies in toddy batter, fried till crisp. The spicy, seafood flavor made it a great snack with our drink. Next up was the Chicken Shots – mormulaga crusted chicken, cucumber, radish noodles and ginger. The dish was easy to eat as it came with toothpicks in a shot glass, and pretty presentation too. We were also served the Cheeseling Jhalmuri – cheese topped with onions, green chillies and cumin dust. This was followed by Kochuri Coins – crunchy kachoris filled with spiced potato with a drizzle of date and chilly chutney. We ended the meal with Duck roast which came with spicy chilli, aromatic spices and shallots. The meat was cooked till tender and the meat fell right off the bone. Keeping in mind the concept of toddy shaaps, the restaurant does not serve desserts.
