AD's September-October annual style issue is on stands now. Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05) has defined fashion and beauty for an entire generation with his unapologetic flair for glamour and bling. At home, however, he's a nostalgic soul, seeking quiet and comfort, arranging fresh flowers, working "48 hours in a day, if I could" in a newly-designed study by Gauri Khan (@gaurikhan), and letting life play out in his impeccably decorated Bandra townhouse. Classic, comfortable, functional, tinged with nostalgia, flushed in natural light, surrounded by trees, and built around an open-to-sky courtyard, this is a generous, wholesome family home. Also featuring in this issue is Kaustav Dey's (@kaustav.dey) Bengaluru apartment. Among his pattachitras and kalighats, his Japanese calligraphy, and a vintage veena, Kaustav's exquisite, singular style is evident. Then we head to Jaipur, to the one-of-a-kind home of Tahir Sultan (@tahirsultan). What a discovery! A flamboyant flamingo pink dining room to a bedroom in the colour of the earth, decorated with Naga tables and ancient urns and curiously repurposed-curiosities, Tahir's home has been a well-kept secret, now revealed. Also, look out for a fabulous photo essay excerpted from author and journalist Phyllida Jay's (@phyllidapjay) book on the journey of fashion.
