MARGHERITA MACCAPANI MISSONI'S HOME IN THE ITALIAN PROVINCE OF VARESE IS A 1970S VILLA TURNED INTO A PERSONAL MUSEUM OF MEMORIES.

FROM A HUMBLE WORKSHOP SOUTH OF LAKE COMO TO AN ICONIC ITALIAN FURNITURE MAKER, TURRI COMPLETES 100 YEARS AND WE TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT ITS JOURNEY.
For over a hundred years, Turri has pursued a vision of excellence grounded in craftsmanship, quality and innovation. But rewind to 1925, when Pietro Turri opened his workshop in Carugo, just south of Lake Como, and wood was the soul of his furniture. “One of the stories passed down in our family is how, in those early days, the furniture from our first workshop would be transported to Milan on a horse-drawn cart for wealthy clients,” recalls Andrea Turri, now the fourth generation at the helm of the company. “The pieces would travel from Carugo down unpaved roads, guided by the craftsman himself.”

COUTURIER GAURAV GUPTA'S FIRST-EVER BRIDAL SHOW IN MUMBAI REFLECTED HIS SINGULAR YET TOTAL APPROACH TO DESIGN.
We're not only dressing for the bride of today, but for the bride of tomorrow,” says Delhi-based couturier Gaurav Gupta about Quantum Entanglement, his debut bridal collection named after the phenomenon in quantum physics which binds two particles together for eternity. Futuristic and avant-garde, the collection keeps up with his signature combination of Western wear-inspired gowns with South Asian influences of the sari and lehenga, usage of artisanal Indian woven textiles such as Banarasi brocades and the nuanced play between fluidly sculpting drapery and letting it flow.
