A year in fashion
The year 2024 became the year of gawking. Never before in the history of India have people sat down on their phones and watched reel by reel of The Great Indian Wedding. The country's collective concentration on the Ambani wedding, the festivities between Mukesh Ambani's son Anant and Mumbai girl Radhika Merchant, almost reminds us of India sitting down, ear to the radio, listening to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Freedom at Midnight' speech. So attentive we were, absolutely dumbfounded at how much dough-to-dazzle was at hand in India.
