Of trends, lifestyle, living spaces: How 2025 redefined these and more

As the year 2025 comes to an end, we look into who dominated India’s art and design ecosystem. In the fashion scene, we cover craft-focused pieces that lean into native design and sustainability. We speak to experts from different fields to find out what habits to let go off in 2025 and what to adopt in 2026.

On the food space, we ask chefs about the best meals that they had. We look into the cafe culture, auto trends, home interiors and real estate. We ask influential figures what books they read this year. We also look into books that explore diverse themes and narratives.
