In Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 1999 show, Paralympian and model Aimee Mullins walked the runway in a groundbreaking look: a pair of hand-carved wooden prosthetic legs.

Created from solid elm and designed to mimic Victorian-style boots with intricate detailing and high heels, the prosthetics were more than functional — they were works of art.

In McQueen’s Words
“When I used Aimee [Mullins] for [this collection], I made a point of not putting her in . . . sprinting legs [prostheses for running]. . . . We did try them on but I thought no, that’s not the point of this exercise. The point is that she was to mould in with the rest of the girls.”
i-D, July 2000

Aimee Mullins shared her journey with the leg. They were solid wood, solid ash, so there’s no give in the ankle. So any kind of a runway walk that I had practiced went out the window. And then suddenly they laced me into this leather bodice, and there were some spinning discs in the floor of the runway, which I had, while practicing in these wooden legs, you know . . . was very conscious of how to avoid them. But now that my neck was secured in this almost neck-brace position, I couldn’t look down. I couldn’t even see where the spinning discs were. And I just remember thinking, “Okay, you’ve done the Olympics. You’ve done harder things than this. You can do this. You can survive it.”
And you know, the fact is, nobody knew that they were prosthetic legs. They were the star of the show—these wooden boots peeking out from under this raffia dress—but in fact, they were actually legs made for me.
His clothes have always been very sensuous, and I mean the full gamut of that. So hard and strict and unrelenting, as life can be sometimes. And then this incredibly romantic swishing of the raffia.

This powerful moment challenged conventional ideas of beauty and transformed prosthetics into symbols of artistry, strength, and empowerment.

14th August is a day of pride, gratitude, and reflection for every Pakistani — a celebration of the dreams, sacrifices, and resilience that gave us our homeland. On this day, we also honor the voices that have kept the spirit of Pakistan alive. Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, the legendary vocalist of the Patiala Gharana, was celebrated for his powerful voice and deep emotional expression. His rendition of the iconic “Aye Watan Pyare Watan” remains a timeless tribute to our nation’s soul. As we remember our past and look to our future, may we cherish our freedom with unity, compassion, and a commitment to building a stronger, more just Pakistan.

Pakistan Zindabad.

‎اے وطن، پیارے وطن
‎پاک وطن، پاک وطن

‎اے وطن، پاک وطن
‎پاک وطن، پاک وطن
‎اے میرے پیارے وطن
‎اے وطن، پیارے وطن

‎تجھ سے میری ہے تمناؤں کی دنیا پُرنور
‎تجھ سے ہے میری تمناؤں کی دنیا پُرنور
‎عزم میرا کبھی میرے ارادے ہیں غیور
‎میری ہستی میں انا ہے، میری مستی میں شعور
‎جاں فزا میرا تخیل ہے تو شیریں ہے سخن
‎اے وطن، پیارے وطن

The La Chimère dress by Thierry Mugler, unveiled in his Fall 1997 Haute Couture show, is one of the most iconic and extravagant creations in fashion history. Inspired by the mythical creature Chimera—which in Greek mythology is a fire-breathing beast with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail—the dress was a fantastical fusion of feathers, crystals, iridescent scales, and intricate embroidery. Each element was hand-crafted by top Parisian ateliers like Lemarié (feathers) and Lesage (embroidery), with the entire piece requiring over 1,000 hours to complete.

Worn by model Adriana Karembeu, the gown transformed her into a surreal, otherworldly being—part goddess, part creature. With its dramatic fishtail silhouette and shimmering textures, La Chimère embodied Mugler’s signature vision of theatrical, commanding femininity. To this day, it remains a landmark in haute couture history, celebrated for its bold imagination and technical brilliance.

Remembering Rajmata Gayatri Devi: The Queen of Chiffon
— July 29, 2009

On her death anniversary, we remember Rajmata Gayatri Devi of Jaipur — a woman of rare beauty, political intelligence, and timeless elegance. Fondly called “Ayesha,” she was not just a Parliamentarian and public figure, but also a fashion icon known for her signature pastel chiffon saris paired with pearls.

Her love for chiffon began in the 1930s. The lightweight French fabric became her statement — worn in soft shades of powder blue, pistachio, and butter yellow. In her words, “Chiffon is elegant. It lets you move — it doesn’t wear you.”

She is said to have owned over 500 chiffon saris, many ordered from Europe and later replicated by Indian designers. Each piece was carefully preserved — perfumed, folded, and worn with understated jewellery that enhanced rather than overshadowed her regal aura.

When Vogue named her one of the world’s most beautiful women in 1962, it was not just her looks, but her poise and quiet power that stood out. Today, we remember a queen who wore chiffon like second skin — and redefined what grace truly means.
