Naisha Bhargabi's Top 10 Style Tips

Naisha Bhargabi's Top 10 Style Tips

Confident: First and foremost, the best thing you can wear is confidence. When you really believe in yourself, it radiates through and adds that extra layer of style to whatever you are wearing. Be confident, wear what you feel comfortable in and show off your best assets to the world. Don’t be hard on yourself, hold your head up high and own that outfit you are wearing like a boss.

Fearless: The more confident you are, the braver you will become. This will prompt you to try different things and step out of your fashion comfort zone. So, be extra if you want and remember there are no set rules. Fearless can be really fabulous when it comes to style and will likely make you stand out in the crowd.


Authentic: Always remember that authenticity is key. You are wonderful enough and don’t need to be like anyone else. Be your authentic, real self when selecting outfits and wear what makes you feel happy. Block out any background noise and keep reminding yourself that the more real you are, the more of your inner light will shine through with your style. Trends come and go, but you are here to stay.

Statement: A small extra touch can add a lot to a look and can also transform it, if you wear the same thing in future. Accessorise with a statement piece. Find accessories you love and add them to an outfit to create your own unique signature look. It can be a necklace, scarf, headband, watch or anything else. I love gold/silver hoop earrings, as they go with anything, without overpowering what you are wearing.

Ethical: The big talking point in fashion right now is sustainability. There are a lot of things you can do to look great, but also help the world we live in. Give your clothes a second chance, instead of cramming your closet full of outfits. Also look at the background of where clothes are made. The pandemic taught us we don’t need as much as we think and that can be applied to fashion. Looking stylish, while helping the planet is extremely sexy.

Simple: Always remember that less can always be more. A simple look will help your personality shine through. You can’t go wrong with a white t-shirt and denims. It is timeless and always works. The great thing about it is that you can sauce it up however you like.

Essentials: We all love shoes, and they can make or break an outfit. You can have footwear in all shapes and sizes, but the two that should always be on hand are a good pair of white sneakers and a pair of black heels. Both are timeless and will go with most of your wardrobe.

Experiment: Sometimes you don’t know what will work if you don’t experiment, so give it a go. Step out of your comfort zone and be brave enough to try something new, even if it is within the four walls of your bedroom. This can range from new hairstyles and make-up to clothes you wouldn’t normally wear. Don’t be afraid to explore new ideas and remember that with fashion the possibilities are always endless.

Body: Build a look around you. Get to know and love your body. When you know what body type you are and what will suit it best, then you are headed in the right direction. Then you can start really finding those pieces that add a wow factor.

Relax: Last, but not least, comfort is key. Fashion shouldn’t ever have to be painful and is there to be enjoyed, whatever age you are. Wear what you are comfortable in and finish off the look with a beautiful smile.

Jasbinder Bilan’s journey of heart and heritage: From Himalayan tales to global acclaim

When Jasbinder Bilan first paused her teaching career to pursue a creative writing degree, she had no idea it would lead to a life-changing breakthrough. What began as a leap of faith became a journey filled with hope, rejection and ultimately triumph. Inspired by her beloved grandmother and her Indian roots, Bilan poured her soul into her debut manuscript Song of the Mountain. Though the publishing world was not immediately ready for her story, perseverance paid off when she won the 2016 Times Chicken House Prize, launching her celebrated writing career. Now, following the success of her Costa Award-winning Asha and the Spirit Bird, Bilan returns with a powerful new historical adventure, Naeli and the Secret Song. In this exclusive interview, she speaks about the emotional inspiration behind the book, her love for young readers and the importance of believing in your voice — no matter how long it takes to be heard.

What first connected you to writing?
It was stories more than writing that were my first love. My grandmother, Majee, was the storyteller in our house and it was those bonding moments that sparked my love for creating my own stories. She told me lots of Indian folk tales at bedtime, but she also shared stories of our life in India on the farm near the foothills of the Himalaya. So, I grew up feeling connected to a place that I then filled with my imagination. As a little girl I loved drawing and writing, and always wanted to be a writer, but it took me a long time to make that dream come true.

K Anis Ahmed’s 'Carnivore' serves up satire, class war and moral rot

From the blood-soaked backstreets of Dhaka to the polished kitchens of Manhattan’s elite, K Anis Ahmed’s new novel Carnivore is as imaginative as it is provocative. A satirical thriller steeped in class tension, culinary obsession and primal survival, Carnivore follows Kash, a Bangladeshi immigrant-turned-chef who launches a high-end restaurant serving exotic meats – only to become embroiled in a sinister world of appetite and ambition.

But this is no simple tale of knives and recipes. Ahmed – a seasoned journalist, publisher, and president of PEN Bangladesh – brings a sharp eye to the grotesqueries of power and privilege. In this exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, he speaks about his passion for food, the moral murkiness of his characters, and why even the most ordinary people can spiral into extraordinary darkness.

It so happens that the coordinator of this year’s Summer Exhibition is the internationally celebrated artist and Royal Academician Farshid Moussavi, who is of Iranian origin.
