Mokshaa Shivlani speaks to Dr Qin Huilan, fashion's newest muse

PRESCRIPTION FOR STYLE

“IT WAS MY FIRST TIME WALKING THE RUNWAY, AND I THINK I DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB, DIDN’T I?”

Dr Qin Huilan, the 70-year-old Chinese doctor-turned-style-icon-and-model from Shanghai, is living the fashion dream with her son's ward robe. Her impeccable style sense appears meticulously curated, yet she modestly describes it as spontaneous. With nearly 50,000 Instagram followers, Dr Qin’s portals to fame are her vibrant and stylish ensembles, each a testament to her unique flair. Her son’s Prada jackets seem to have replaced her doctor’s coat, and she styles them with a youthful edge that defies age norms. Through this sartorial journey, she has birthed a version of herself she never knew existed—one that’s so effortlessly stylish that she was invited to walk the runway for Miu Miu’s Fall 2024 show. As she continues to share her style journey and experiments with her followers, she brings ELLE along on the journey.

The Subtle Grandeur of Narain Niwas Palace

There's a kind of quiet that belongs only to old homes. At Narain Niwas Palace, it hums in the walls, drifts through the painted corridors, and settles among the mango and tamarind trees. Built in 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji Kanota as a retreat from the city's noise, the palace remains under the care of his family. Its fifty-two rooms, each carrying its own blend of antique furniture and hand-painted detail, feel more like a home still in use than a hotel on display. The pale lime walls seem to hold sunlight long after dusk, and the courtyards breathe with the slow rhythm of a place untouched by time.
