This is the 75th year of India’s Independence, and with the entire nation, we celebrate the glorious year of freedom. But, this time we did something exclusive, and that's the cover! Isn’t it amazing with the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica and its exclusive drive review. Mind you, this doesn’t mean we forgot to keep you covered with your monthly dosage of luxury either. And, the highlights of this August issue are:

MANSTYLE: This month, this particular section has got all that you need to know about Yves Saint Laurant SS’23 by Anthony Vaccarello that took place at Agafay desert. Also, featured here is the limited edition Puma x Mercedes AMG Petronas. 

FEMME: The femme section gets all deets about the Paris Couture Week Autumn-Winter 2022 collection, the evolution of the pantsuit, and its impact on history. The next highlight, to follow, is the quick brief on the Kardashians. And, lastly, we have the classic evening bag by Chanel.

INDULGE: As an automotive special, headlining the issue is the last hurrah. Next up, what you will be excited to read is about the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which was so special that the publisher Abhishek Kulkarni grabbed the keys and penned his experiences. Next, following this is another one from the German marque's portfolio, the AMG E 53 4Matic+, and then are the impressive Lexus cars. Not to miss are some interesting content from the private aircraft space, luxurious timepieces and yachts. 

EXPLORE: As the section suggests this is all about new places, trends and hacks. Topics relating to a travel guide to Malacca and Iceland to name a few are the highlights of this section. And, with other topics such as the world of virtual reality, sustainable travel, Salone Del Mobile and a piece of motivational advice for you from the Legend Les Brown.

Headling our July’22 issue is the picturesque property from the middle east – Atlantis The Palm, Dubai. Following this is the cover story featuring Atlantis The Palm, where Chahat Dalal walks you through the aforementioned luxurious property. Next up we feature some of the iconic fashion brands such as Balmain, and its history and post which we have the latest from Burberry. If this isn’t enough we have some exciting content from the world of auto, with an exclusive drive review of the iconic Range rover, that just got unveiled in its fifth-generation version. Post this we get to test some exciting products from the BMW portfolio and headed out for a quick spin for the best coffee in town with the BMW R 18. And, just when we thought that something we missed out in the tech space, we taut the newest entrant in the smartwatch space around our wrist, the Amazfit GTR 3. Mind you, we were impressed! A detailed review of it is in this issue. Also, hold onto your seat belts because you will travel the world of luxury with the opulent reviews of Kempinski Bali, W Goa, and South Africa with this issue.

September 2020 issue

Remember when we all were cooped up at home for months? Art, in any form, was the only escape for most people. People dusted off their old canvases and paint bottles, got better at their previously rusty guitar skills and even captured fabulous imagery. In a way, people broke free and art acted as the warm hug we all needed. Our cover star Gianluca Vacchi, the 53-year-old Italian DJ, entrepreneur and social media giant too released another one of his hit songs during the lockdown. Although, his story is quite an extraordinary one at that, and you’ll find out why in our chat with this global entertainer. Apart from the lockdown, another landmark moment that 2020 gave us was the retirement of MS Dhoni and yes, it is still a sensitive issue for us! However, travelling and driving some uber luxurious cars are still something great to look forward to. We’ve got all this and much more covered in this issue of Just Urbane. Flip the pages and discover more. Happy reading!

Mr. Worldwide: That’s cover star Gianluca Vacchi summarised in a nutshell for you

Suhel Seth: His monthly analysis of top-end luxury brands and the luxury of empathy

Luke Coutinho: The attitude of gratitude is one of the most important tools in life according to Luke 

Nikitaa: Brave, unfiltered and ferociously raw, this singer is one to watch out for

Michelle Poonawalla: Get to know her take on art and the world we live in today 

MS Dhoni: We don’t want to say goodbye just yet

Chef Vicky Ratnani: Cooking up a storm with all the freshest seasonal produce 

Jamie Walker: Here’s how you can drink your whisky

Mercedes-Benz GLC: Does the GLC coupe match the needs of the Indian market?

Volkswagen T-Roc: We declare this one as the perfect weekend getaway car

Mexico: The wine here seduces all senses says Areli Paz

The Last Word: We give you a reason or two to learn a new language

The pandemic has taught us to value essential life-skills. We’ve all gotten a little more independent in our ways; a little more responsible too. Over the past few months, the world has seen a considerable shift to the digital platform to keep things moving. This change made us look at the real content creators of the digital world – the bloggers, vloggers, entrepreneurs and many more powerful driving forces of “digital India”. Gracing the cover is David Michigan, one of the most prominent faces in the digital industry who is famous for his social media game and his Michigan Academy. For the first time in Just Urbane’s history, we have let the content creators take control over the magazine to voice their opinions and put forward stories that will leave you with a whole new perspective to things. We’ve got content creators and entrepreneurs like Gaurav Taneja, Bhuvan Bam, Malini Agarwal, Sejal Kumar and many renown international creators as well. We hope you enjoy reading this issue that celebrates the contribution of all content creators in making “digital India” a reality.

David Michigan - David break’s the magician’s code and gives away all his tips and tricks to ace the social media game and also talks about his interest in self-hypnosis.

Gaurav Taneja - The beast unleashes his fitness tips and talks about his lesser-known journey before he had his breakthrough moment in life.

Bhuvan Bam - Whoever said “Don’t dream big” has not heard of Bhuvan’s journey and especially the humble beginning.

Malini Agarwal - Addressing the cons of social media and how trolls can often affect one’s mental health.

Raging Storm - Fine Art photographer, Shivaji Storm Sen, has a unique perspective to his photography that rubbishes age-old societal norms that blind us.

Fishing around - Celebrity chef Vicky Ratnani shares two of his lip-smacking lobster recipes that you can try at home.

With everything that has been going around us in these times, we chose to look at the brighter side of things. This issue is a reminder that there’s still good out there and humanity has a fighting chance. One person who is the living proof for the same is our July ‘20 cover man, Sonu Sood. He has won the hearts of millions of people across the nation with his great initiative to help the migrants get back home. We talked to the man himself about what it actually takes to be the change everyone talks about. Businessman Suhel Seth talks about his perspective on luxury and how we will all perceive luxury differently once the lockdown is lifted. Luke Coutinho gives his two cents on how mental health matters far more than we think it does. We were also lucky enough to visit Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi left the pandemic and we’ve got a firsthand account of the same for you in our travel pages. We’ve also got our whisky professional, Jamie Walker, to answer the question, ‘Does age really matter?’ All this and much more in our July ‘20 issue. Cheers!

The Messiah: Sonu Sood tells us about his new-found reason behind moving to the city of dreams and what it takes to actually be the change

All about luxury: Suhel Seth’s view on luxury will make you think hard before you invest your bucks in another brand

Mind it: Luke Coutinho shares his two cents on the power of our mind and how much more it can take control of

The year 2020 has thrown us all a curveball and quite frankly, it’s just not funny anymore. This doesn’t seem to be the case with our cover star Vir Das, whose jokes only get better with time. Heck, even Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock agree to it. Although, it’s not always fun and games with Vir as we found out over a casual phone call. Since we’re all stuck in our homes during this lockdown, we’ve got a few things to make it bearable for you. Our culinary expert, Yohann Setna is back with some drool-worthy and insanely easy ramen recipes that you can make in no time! India’s only Master of Wine, Sonal Holland shares her 10 commandments of wine and we personally love the seventh one. Running out of things to binge-watch on Netflix? Check out our review of The Sinner to decide if you want to add it to your wish list. We’ve also listed down 5 celebrity recommended fitness coaches, who will help fulfill your summer body goals.

Dan Bilzerian isn’t your average millionaire in a suit. Most often you’ll find him in body hugging tees with camo pants or shorts. At other times he’s bare-chested. If he’s not hanging with his scantily clad bevy of friends on a yacht then he’s on the back of a truck firing his M60 machine gun. Just for kicks. No, Dan Bilzerian isn’t your average millionaire. This month we spoke to this man who is without doubt the King of Instagram with an army of 31 million followers. We also caught up with Dakar World Champion Ricky Brabec, the first American to have won this mother of all rallies.
