Issue XLIII, August

Little People, Big Dreams: The Album, a magnificent feat from our dearest music-makers: Dom James and Tommy Antonio (the superb talent behind Dishoom Kensington’s Marine Liners house band and King’s Cross carolling). The featured song ‘One Child’ is a first-class ear-listen – an ode to Malala, featuring Bombayite Mallika Bhagwat. Delight in brightest tributes to greatest people, for adults and children alike.

echos above, a footwear label stitching sports nostalgia into each and every pair. Finely sculpted suede panels, neat and deliberate tonal stitching and gum soles for mile upon mile of stylish travel. Pick your colour (Bordeaux, Lemongrass Yellow and Corsage Pink among the most fetching). Lace up and leap on.

Asian Women Run, a fitness community keenly celebrating every body and pace. Warmest welcomes await women from many backgrounds and ages, most excitedly those taking their first steps into joyous movement (and searching for kindred spirits to stride alongside). Step into trainers and set off in splendid company.

MAABAE, exquisite jewellery thoughtfully designed in Los Angeles and forged by expert hands in Rajasthan. Layer, stack and drape sculptural necklaces, intricate bangles and ornate earrings. All wrought in ancestral silvers and golds, recalling long-cherished pieces lovingly inherited from generations before.

Szabo Sihag, glorious ready-to-wear attire dreamt up between India and London. Historic textiles, perhaps hand-spun khadi cotton or odhanis (traditional scarves), are carefully reimagined for habitual wardrobes and timely silhouettes. Honour tradition: wear pieces often and with joy.
