The fashion trends of 1980s are getting popular in 2016.
A pair of high-waist pants and a long coat. That’s what Rishika Arora wears at the court every day. As a lawyer, she finds comfort and style in the outfits of 1980's, as her job requires her to travel frequently from office to court and meet clients. However, it’s not just her professional look that draws an inspiration from the trends of 1980's. On casual days, she is no different, yet goes experimental. She explores her feminine side with polka-dot dresses, flared jeans, crop tops and pearls that take her back to that era.
Said Rishika, “I love wearing high waist denims, pearls and the ruffled shirts. These are very comfortable and make me explore my feminine side. Even though I am a 90's baby, I feel 1980's was the most evergreen time for the fashion industry. The era gave us off-shoulder dresses and beaded and chunky bracelets. They also take me back to Madonna’s chic look. I love pearls as an accessory and often look up to Princess Diana’s elegant style. Be it a casual occasion or a formal meeting, statement pearl pieces are the epitome of femininity.”

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
