Bizarre. We decided to find out which adjective had occurred most to describe Tiger King. Bizarre was the world. Mind-boggling, startling and a documentary unlike any other, Tiger King manages to create an enigma of a show that once picked up, cannot be put down. For those of you who have never even heard of the series, we’d like to clear up the air. Tiger King is not a weird Indian spin-off to the Disney blockbuster Lion King.
Tiger King is a true-crime docu-series airing on Netflix right now that covers the big cat situation in North America right now. What is the case, you ask? Well, various countries have different laws on the possession of pet animals, and the kinds of pets citizens can keep in their land. In India, you will see that other than pet dogs, cats, birds and fish, no other animals can be kept. In America, however, people keep great big wild cats as their pets. The documentary explores three people who do this; Joe Exotic, owner of the G.W zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, Bhagawan Antle, another animal breeder and Carol Baskin, PETA advocate and CEO of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. The show also mainly revolves around the animosity between Joe and Carol.
The Players Set the Stage.
Tiger King mainly is the story of three people and their lives. The first is Carol Baskin, a lady who is allergic to cats and has made it her life’s mission to rescue big cats. She has had two husbands, the second of which went missing in 1997, as focused on in the show. And don’t let me start on Joe Exotic.
A private big cat keeper, with an unofficial three-way marriage to two men Travis Maldanado and John Finlay, Joe Exotic is as weird as they come. He has an extreme proclivity to pyrotechnics and makes most of his income from zoo visits by tourists and his channel Joe Exotic TV. It is soon evident in the show that he harbours an intense hatred for Carol Baskin, which is not a secret amongst the keepers.

The final, is Bhagawan ‘Doc’ Antle, another piece in this chessboard. He is similar to Joe Exotic, with a huge zoo/park for all the big cats he owns. Not as eccentric as Joe, Doc is no innocent either. He seems to be leading a personality cult. If we are to go by the documentary’s word that is.
There are of course, other subsidiary characters, and they are just as eccentric as these three though not as significant. They included Mario Tabraue, who was a drug lord who then was revealed to be an animal trafficker; Jeff Lowe a Las Vegas playboy turned owner of G.W zoo and then James Garretson, FBI’s CI who was the key figure in making the case against Joe Exotic.
Why is Tiger King different from other True Crime documentaries?
If you have gone searching in the true crime genre in Netflix, you will have noticed a huge collection of some of the most well written documentaries in television. A recent addition, if you remember was Don’t F*** with Cats. And yet, despite how good these shows were, none of them captured audience’s attention the way Tiger King has. And why has that happened? Well, mostly because of how out there it is. The lives these people have lived, are living, the kind of people they are, is very unique, for the lack of a better word.
Tiger King is also fixated on the kind of people they are more than the state of the animals themselves. The first episode focuses on the premise of the entire show, with small cutscenes from each character, talking about their life, their work so on and so forth. It soon descends to the crux of the show, the true purpose of the show. The show’s core is to investigate the conviction of Joe Exotic for attempting to kill Carol Baskin in a murder for hire plot.
The specialty of this show lies in the way it is shot. There is no real tangible connection to each episode. I mean, there is the core story and the characters, but there are so many side plots and factors to twist and mold your perspective, that each episode feels like the start of the series. The ending of the show leaves you with more questions than it does answers, and a deep-rooted confusion for whom to like and whom not to like.
A common motif running through Tiger King was the antagonism between the show’s main protagonists, Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin. And Doc Antle and Carol Baskin, and, you get the point. The show talks about how messed up each of their personal lives are. Joe Exotic has had five husbands, three of which are in the show. Joe is also reportedly cruel and sick. He would be horrible to his animals, killing the tigers or other animals for reasons that were completely unwarranted.
Carol Baskin is a protector of tiger’s rights, but she also performs appearances for visitors. Her enclosures aren’t as big as Joe’s or Doc’s. However, she insists on keeping animals that have nowhere else to go and not breed them. In the series, she confesses that she gets the tigers spayed when her (former) husband is away.

Regardless, she is weird too. There is also another major premise of the story, which is, did Carol Baskin kill her husband? Noone except for perhaps Carol knows the answer. Carol’s former husband, Don Lewis mysteriously disappears, and when asked to take a polygraph, she refuses. Her act creates suspicion in the mind of everyone watching and following the investigation. The case, however, goes cold, and with the arrest of Joe, it fades out. That is, until the release of Tiger King.
Call it misguided, misogynistic and twisted, Netflix manages to take hold off one of the most bizarre sects of America, the type of people you only heard in rumours when told about the west. It takes these stories and spins them up into seven episodes of pure suspense, thrill and absurdity. You can catch all the events of Tiger King right now on Netflix.

If you happen to have an Instagram account, it is next to impossible that you have not come across at least one video featuring #dalgonacoffee in all its glory! The coffee has gained more popularity and followers than any other celebrity out there during the times of this quarantine. In fact, Dalgona coffee is now the official ‘quarantine drink’.
So what exactly is this Dalgona Coffee? What is the rage about it in the first place? Is not it the same coffee that our mums used to make for us back at home, beating coffee and sugar with water with a spoon and then pouring hot milk over it?
Turns out, Dalgona coffee has a really interesting story behind it. Read on to find everything that you need to know about this trending coffee, and why you need to give it a try.
So what is Dalgona coffee exactly?
Simply put, Dalgona coffee is nothing but regular coffee. It is made by whipping equal parts of instant coffee with sugar and hot water, until the mixture becomes really frothy and light. This mixture is then topped with either hot or cold milk, depending on the preference of who is consuming it. For better appeal and flavour, the drink is then topped with crushed biscuits, coffee powder, cocoa powder or even honey.
The beverage became insanely popular during the lockdown, when people who could not step out resorted to making something on their own at their home. The coffee does taste delicious and requires no fancy ingredients or equipment. Unlike baking where an oven and basic tools are a must, all you need to whip up some delicious coffee is some coffee, sugar, a small cup, a spoon, and lots of muscle power. Though, feel free to use a handheld electric beater if you have one!
But what exactly is Dalgona?
Interestingly, Dalgona coffee does not even contain real Dalgona. Dalgona is a popular Korean candy, made with melted sugar and baking soda. The candy was really popular during the 1970s and 1980s. However, people continue to enjoy the candy till date as a popular retro food.
When baking soda is added to melted sugar, the soda decomposes thermally. This leads to the emission of carbon dioxide, which then puffs up the melted sugar. And since sugar sets hard once it cools down, the final product is a really light and crunchy candy.
You can find Dalgona topped up on iced tea or coffee, or on pastries such as scones.
As explained above, the coffee takes inspiration from the Korean sweet Dalgona. It bears resembles to the original candy in terms of taste and appearance.
But how did Dalgona coffee become an internet sensation overnight?
The trend actually started in South Korea. The famous South Korean actor Jung Il-woo ordered a whipped coffee at a cafe in Macau during one of his appearances on a TV show. It was then that he likened the taste of this coffee to that of Dalgona. And this is where it all started.
The #dalgonacoffeechallenge became really popular, and spread like wildfire on South Korean YouTube channels. Very soon, the coffee made its first appearance on TikTok. And before anyone realized it, the coffee was all over Instagram too!
People went crazy making this coffee at home, challenging each other to do the same, and then sharing videos about it!
Is giving this coffee a shot worth it? Absolutely yes, we say! Amid the gloom and sadness of the lockdown, it will give you something to look forward to. And at the end of the day, you have some delicious coffee to enjoy. A win-win situation for everyone 🙂
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons instant coffee
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
200 ml warm or cold milk
Method
Simply combine the coffee, sugar and water together; and use an electric beater to whip up the mixture. If you don’t have one, you can even beat it up using a fork or a spoon, though you will need a lot of arm strength to achieve the same results.
Once light and foamy, the mixture is ready. Spoon it on the top of a mug of hot or cold milk.
Your coffee is ready.
If you do try out this delicious coffee, do let us know how you liked it! We would love to hear from you.
Those of you who remember the 1980s and 1990s, probably know how video games had a bad reputation. They were considered to be something for kids and teens, a complete waste of time and expensive form of entertainment. But in the past decade, we have all witnessed both young teens and elderlies frantically swiping their fingers across their phones and being focused on colorful characters moving on their screens.
Mobile games, video games played on smartphones, are popular all across the globe, among people of all ages and statuses. Whether it’s a dress-up game, puzzles, adventures, or real money games on this Indian site – it seems that developers managed to create a mobile game for every type. But, with so many mobile games in app stores, finding one that suits you can be quite a challenge. To help you find some good entertainment, we created a list of top mobile games in India.
Candy Crush Saga
If there is one thing that swept us off our feet – it’s Candy Crush Saga developed by King, a company that meanwhile became a synonym for a whole genre of mobile games. The legendary mobile game combines different types of puzzles where you have to match candies of the same color to clear the board.
The incredible number of boosters and special candies, such as doughnuts, striped and wrapped candy, color bombs, or jelly fish, help you speed up the progress and clear the board faster. But be aware, there are also some elements, such as chocolate that can definitely slow you down. This freemium game was referred to as the “game of the year” by Eurogamer and has several variations. If you are no longer in the mood for traditional Candy crush Saga, play Soda Saga, Jelly Saga, or Friends Saga.
Coin Master
Coin Master is a free game created by Moon Active in 2016. The main character is a knight who has a trusted piglet as a sidekick. The main goal of the game is to create and develop a village while stealing coins from other players all across the globe. This is where your trusted piglet jumps in and digs out treasures that help you level up.
As your village gets more advanced, so do the features you are allowed to use. But, just as you can attack other players, they can take revenge and attack you! Coin Master is so popular that even celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Khloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner endorsed it.
Clash Royale
Clash Royale is a free strategy game, developed by Supercell. It combines several types of games such as collectible card games, multiplayer arena, adventure, and tower defense. The main goal of the game is to destroy the castle of the opponent team while ensuring your castle has as little damage as possible. The battles are short and very dynamic – every clash lasts only three minutes and can last two minutes additional overtime in case there is no winner.
Throughout the game, players collect trophies by fighting in 13 different arenas and get rewards, but what is interesting is that they can also lose them in multiplayer battles. This ever-evolving game will definitely find its way to the hearts of fans of traditional video games.
Covet Fashion Game
Covet Fashion game is much more than a traditional dress-up game. Covet targets more adult audiences as it features the latest high fashion and couture collections by real fashion designers such as Calvin Klein, DKNY, United Nude, Jovani, and Stello. Every player has a doll that is dressed up for a series of daily challenges. Challenges feature different themes – from real-life situations to fantasy or pop culture references.
As the player progresses, more and more hairstyles and makeup looks become available, thus allowing the player to be more creative, but there are also special props and hair accessories that can be won through special tasks and challenges. Once the challenge is closed, it goes into voting where other players vote for their favorite looks. After the voting is done, you get rewards that help you level up. You can also join teams to win special fashion prizes.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a multiplayer battle royale game that gained great popularity in India in 2018 after the mobile version of the computer game has been released. PUBG is a very dynamic game where players use their scavenged weapons to fight “the winner takes all” battles.
Every battle has 100 players and is placed on an island that gets progressively smaller in order to pack as much action as possible in small playing zones. You can play solo, or team up with other players, as teams have better chances for survival. Realistic effects and HD maps make the game enjoyable even on small screens.
When you talk about the video gaming industry, you think of Fortnite, or Call Of Duty or CS: GO. When we were young kids, there were even games like Roadrash and Grand theft auto that shaped the epoch of gaming we have right now. Video Gaming is considered one of the fastest-growing industries right now, with more and more people getting onto the bandwagon. There was recently news of a kid winning almost 9 million dollars for winning a world-wide Fortnite gaming competition. Nine Million Dollars. An unimaginable amount of money and just for winning a gaming competition you ask? Well, gaming requires an immense amount of concentration and impeccable hand to eye co-ordination, and there is also a large amount of competition in the field.
Gaming is fast, makes you think and keeps you on your toes. But, these are not the only facets of gaming that make it a fantastic activity it is. The story is too. A lot of stories that make up video games are exciting to uncover. There is especially one specific genre that caters to the storytelling aspect of gaming. By the way, these concepts are called game lore. So based on gameplay, the game lore and the popularity, we have made a list of the ten best indie games to play right now.
10. Dead Cells
Image Source
When you go onto the Wikipedia page for Dead Cells, it describes the video game as a roguelike-Metroidvania. For non-gamers and even gamers who haven’t explored this genre, let me break it down for you. The first part, roguelike is a subgenre of RPGs which specifically consist of dungeon crawls, turning based gameplay and tile-based graphics and also permanent death of the player character. The second style, Metroidvania, is another sub-genre. Metroidvania is an amalgamation of two words, Metroid and Castlevania. Both of these are games in the action-adventure genre, and the subsequent sub-genre is for games which follow the same kind of game design and mechanics.
So you can expect Dead Cells to be a mixture of these two. The premise revolves around you the player, a slime-like creature that must take control of a corpse in a dungeon and fight your way out. The gameplay is smooth, the challenges exciting, and it is overall a very well executed indie game.
Think Farmville meets Minecraft. Stardew Valley is a simple and yet fulfilling video game. The objective of the game is just to create your world, farming, trading and developing your character. The game is simple enough, with each update bringing unto it new items, farms and buildings. The game is a very wholesome, inclusive indie game and seems like a detachment from the convoluted and complicated lore and gameplay of typical indie games. The gameplay is smooth and pleasant and doesn’t require a long waiting period.
Most indie games remain criminally underrated. A large part of it is due to the detachment of the lore from the style of gameplay. Celeste is one such game. A platform game, Celeste’s gameplay is kind of similar to Mario. The story, however, runs much more profound. It follows a girl named Madeline on her journey up the side of the mountain Celeste, despite being warned against it. The plot explores nightmares in the form of reflections, ghosts and the paranormal and even mental illnesses such as panic attacks. All this is not apparent considering the style of gameplay of the game itself. It has garnered rave reviews over the years.
7. Cuphead

What is arguably the most challenging indie game ever, the next words I speak about Cuphead would probably make no sense to you non-gamers. Cuphead is arguably as difficult as Dark Souls 3, yes, I did say Dark Souls 3. In pure Disney-esque style, Cuphead is the expeditions of a cup through outlandish overlords and filled with lots of run and gun sections. However, one thing is right about Cuphead. Most of its difficulty is never the fault of the game, it is yours, and you know it. The game requires excellent multitasking and masterful hand to eye co-ordination. You should try this game, which is available on Steam right now.
I bet you were waiting for a tactical strategy game. Well, we are not ones to disappoint. What I regard as very thoughtfully planned out, Into the breach deals with what you would call a turn-based strategy game. Basically, in Into the Breach, battles based on turn take place on an eight by eight grid. And the rest is pure strategy warfare. You need to defend and defeat until you reach the final boss. The best part of Into the Breach is its sleekness. It has a minimalistic style, and despite having a block-based design, it doesn’t look rudimentary at all.
5. Witness

A puzzle – adventure game, Witness, is for you explorers. With beautiful game design and very soothing gameplay, Witness is a game you have to check out. You play from a first-person perspective, navigating through a game world, out of fortresses, into forests and so on. The game is entire to test your mental strength, often your pattern deciphering abilities. The game also challenges your memory, encouraging you to remember old models and mimic them to unlock the puzzle. It is a complete exploration game, with going from one place to another. With a blended block and 3-d style game design, this indie video gaming is very soothing to the eyes. Especially if you consider the pleasant colours and sceneries you start with itself.
A mix between a narrative filled story and an exploration game, Oxenfree is one unique indie game. The game relies on the different art styles of 3-dimensional characters navigating a two-dimensional environment. The backbone of the game that prevents it from becoming merely a temple-run style game is its lore. Oxenfree offers you the luxury of choice; speech bubbles hover over your character, asking upon you to make a choice, and the story moves on as you decide. Oxenfree was a contender for best narrative at The Game Awards 2016, so you best believe that the lore is just as compelling as the gameplay.
Wherever I went looking for Undertale, there was a specific comment that followed me, that being, “Undertale is the ultimate meme game.” Filled with witty commentary and frequent breaking of the fourth wall, Undertale is a game that has you addicted.
Undertale is a classic RPG style game, with a lot of other features mixed in it. For example, the video game has a general premise of encountering the next level boss and defeating them, which you can do in two styles. That being through solving the puzzle or using brute force. In the puzzle style, you can choose to resolve the battle peacefully with a well thought out set of actions. However, if you decide to murder each monster you encounter, all the subsequent puzzles are disabled, and you are required to grind through the rest of the game. What feels eerie about this game is the meta-ness of it. Each major character frames its dialogue based on your past activity, and it gives a very conscious feeling to the game.
2. Hollow Knight
Image Source
If I had to choose personally, I would have given hollow knight the first on this mantle. The video game design, it’s smoothness, for the lack of a better word, the breathtaking lore, there is nothing that can stop me from falling in love with the game itself. However, Hollow Knight tries very hard to make the game even more difficult for you than it should be. The lore is there yes, with a lot of it right in front of you, but the crucial wisdom hides behind a lot of imagery and boss battles, and the only way I could uncover even part of it was by watching youtube videos on the game lore theory. So if you want to get into the deep with this game, you will fall in love with the game design and the outer lore but getting anything more out of it is going to take hours of live gameplay streams and game theories to watch.
I read in an online forum once that the game My Friend Pedro is the personification or rather video game version of the word ‘cool’. This 2-D shooter action game is one of the hottest indie games on the market right now. Its gameplay is smoother than butter, and the colour contrasts and designs are perfect. There is almost nothing about this game that you’d like to change and that’s what makes it number one in our list. My friend Pedro has this way of absorbing you into the game like no other. The smooth graphics and the even more slick actions from your player character make you feel like a badass as you cruise through landscapes, taking down enemies left and right.
So that was our list of the top ten indie games in the gaming industry right now. Let us know in the comments below if there are any we have missed or you would like us to cover. You can find more such recommendations in the video below.

It can be stated with utmost surety that almost everyone who is reading this has had a bar of chocolate at least once. And for most of us, chocolate is one of our favorite flavors. From a simple bar of chocolate to the fancier bonbons, and from chocolate milkshakes to a chocolate cake; chocolate wins the battle: each and every time!
But have you ever wondered about how this wonderful ingredient is actually made? Despite its popularity, it is really sad that most of us don’t even know the origins of chocolate, let alone the processes involved in making it. Bean to the bar is actually a concept or rather the process of making chocolate from scratch. It a complex process which involves a series of steps, all of which contribute to the final flavour of the end product. Read on to find more about chocolate, where it comes from and how it is manufactured.
Where does chocolate come from?
Chocolate actually comes from a plant! Yes, you heard it right. To be precise, it comes from the pod known as Theobroma Cocoa. These are evergreen trees that grow in tropical regions. These areas include the wet lowland tropics of Central and Southern America, West Africa as well as Southeast Asia. And since these trees need shade to grow properly, they are often grown in combination with other plants, such as tall coconut trees.
The first step in the manufacturing of chocolate is plucking the pods and opening them. The pods are initially green, and the yellowing of these pods is a good sign that these are ripe and ready to be plucked. When ripe, harvesters hand pluck these pods and then break them open. Since machines can cause potential harm to the pods that grow on the trees, it is important to hand harvest the fruit, using hooked blades that are mounted on poles so that even the highest fruits can be reached.
Opening the pods
Once harvested, it is time to break open the pod. This usually takes place in a processing house. The pod is split open, and the seeds are removed. A single pod contains between 30 to 50 beans each. In fact, these fresh cocoa beans are off white in colour. And they do not taste like chocolate at all!
Fermentation of the cocoa pods
The cocoa beans are kept in large wooden boxes, between banana leaves. The heat and sunlight of the environment helps to naturally ferment these beans. This process usually takes around a week. During fermentation, the bacteria and yeast of the environment start to work on the natural sugars of the beans. They break down this sugar and convert it to alcohol. The acidity of the beans is reduced, flavour development takes place, and the result is brownish beans at the end of the process.
After fermentation, it is important to dry the beans completely. The fermented seeds are simply spread onto large trays, and left to dry out in the sun. This process is important to stop the fermentation process, and dehydrate the bean completely. Depending on the weather conditions, the process can take anything from a week to ten days.
Manufacturing process
Once these dehydrated beans reach the manufacturer, they are ready for further processing and their conversion to chocolate. Though different manufacturers may undertake slightly different processes, all of them are more or less the same.
The beans are roasted to enhance their flavour, and to dry them out completely. They are then heated, to form chocolate liquor. Lastly, the chocolate liquor is mixed with sugar, milk and vanilla for added flavour. The final product is then tempered, set into slabs, and then packed to be transported.
Step1: Roasting and winnowing
Roasting helps to develop the color and flavour of the beans. The outer shell is removed, while the inner parts are taken out to convert them into chocolate. The cocoa nibs, which are a result of this roasting process, are then passed through a series of sieves. This process is known as winnowing, and helps to sort these nibs as per their size.
Step 2: Grinding the nibs
Through the grinding process, the cocoa nibs then turn to cocoa liquor. This is also known as cocoa mass, or unsweetened chocolate. As a result of the grinding process, heat is generated. This turns the nibs into a liquid, since the fat content of the nib melts. The resultant cocoa liquor is mixed with additional cocoa butter and sugar.
Step 3: Moulding chocolate
Cocoa butter, sugar, lecithin, milk solids and vanilla are added back to the cocoa mass in different proportions to finally make chocolate. This is followed by a process known as tempering. Tempering chocolate ensures that it sets smooth, has a glossy shine to it, and breaks with a snap. Tempering is important to allow the cocoa butter present in the chocolate to harden in specific structures. Finally, this chocolate is packed and then sent off to different parts of the world.
Do you know that there are a lot of fake chocolates available out there? These chocolates do not have cocoa butter, which is an important part of any good chocolate! Instead, this cocoa butter is replaced with cheaper versions, such as vegetable oil. This plays around with the flavour of the chocolate, and as a result, fake chocolates don’t taste that great! And because cocoa butter is an expensive ingredient, good quality genuine chocolates much more than fake ones!
For true chocolate lovers, there is nothing better than some pure and rich dark chocolate. In fact, a lot of Indian manufacturers have also started making their own chocolate in the country from scratch, so be sure to try those out if you can!

Haute Couture isn’t a world unknown. It is, however, ridiculously exclusive, and is just known to the crème de la crème of the tycoons. Haute Couture, if you have never heard of it before, is the top-tier of fashion. It is where true fashion begins.
The world is continually depending more and more on fast fashion brands to keep up with the transient nature of trends. This comes from the fast pace of social media and its ‘influencer’ culture. This culture reinforces the need for the public to buy clothes that match trends that social media celebrities or actors and performers have been wearing at that very moment.
Fast fashion brands target this inherent insecurity of people and rip-off these high price designs and sell them at much lower and affordable rates. However, despite me going off on my self-righteous rant about fast fashion, Haute Couture is not about that. And today, we are going to talk exclusively about Haute Couture. So buckle up, because we are first going to go on a history ride.
When Did Haute Couture First Start?
So the first thing you have to know, Haute Couture is entirely born of French fashion and culture. It is full of history and nostalgia; you could call it centuries of traditional fashion evolving into an exclusive all members club of the most revered fashion brands in the world. Haute Couture was first seen in the year of 1858, with what is a very humble start. Charles Fredrick Worth established the first couture house, subsequently coining the term ‘fashion designer’. The term was to simply distinguish between them and the common dressmaker. The Chamber of High Fashion or Le Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture is this administrative body that keeps strong checks on the culture. Everything about couture went by them and soon they became the safeguard of high fashion.
A few decades later, in the 1920s, a French press was created to protect these fashion designers, from design piracy. This French press was called PAIS, L’Association de Protection des Industries Artistiques Saisonnieres.
What started as a single fashion house in Paris then became a huge sensation, at least within rich circles. With the introduction of new fashion brands and houses, the Chambre Syndicale introduced a set of rules for the production of designs. These rules consisted of the following. Each couturier had to have at least 20 permanent wait staff, designs would now be specific to the client. The dress can be arranged with one to more fittings and that each house must produce at least 35 runs each season. These 35 runs were supposed to have both day wear and night wear in them.
Why Did Haute Couture Go From an Epoch of High Fashion to Only Existing Within The Realm of The Ultra Rich?
The War. The second world war had come down hard on all hand dressmakers, i.e, tailors or designers that stitched and sewed each outfit specifically catering to the client. However, the war needed huge amounts of clothing, which was free of designs like ruffles or tulles. Due to shortage of cloth, it was becoming more and more difficult to create the old styles that haute couture specialized in.

Many of the houses that Haute couture well, housed, had to withdraw from this high-pricey community and diversify into the fast fashion era. The industry had to stay under wraps till Christian Dior, founder and leading fashion designer of the custom brand Dior, came up with his ‘New Look’ collection that took off. We know the group today as the collection that keeps the essence of Haute couture alive.
However, despite these attempts, houses started withdrawing from the haute couture culture and expanding into freestanding couture boutique. Many brands such as Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Andre Courreges were part of these. With the diminishing profit in the Haute Couture industry, brands had to drop out and establish independent boutiques on their own.
Why Doesn’t Haute Couture bring in profits if it is so expensive?
Haute Couture was a culture that is there to present. There are no profits in haute couture. The designs, workforce, hours and material consumes so much that artists don’t gain much in the process. Well, not much except for acclaim. Designers who have successfully pulled off a line in Haute Couture are amongst the greatest in the world. They are trendsetters, with their designs dictating the style of clothes to be worn in the times to come.

Take, for example, the faux fur trend. Faux fur at first was exclusive to only haute couture considering the effort it took to design and make into an outfit. However, it came to soon signify a person’s high social status in life and society. Due to these reasons, demand amongst the common populace grew and soon enough, factories started manufacturing faux fur for almost every outfit.
Well, in some way it already has. Haute Couture is a highly seasonal production. There are about 70 outfits every year and then no more. All of these dresses are ridiculously expensive and definitely need more than 2 fittings. Each outfit can take from 100 to 400 hours. With all these factors taken into account, it is virtually impossible for the style of haute couturing to keep up with fast fashion.
If we need to convince you more on this, here are some things about fast fashion. Fast fashion refers specifically to cheap clothes which look partially like knock offs of designer material. We throw them away as fast as we can because of their very small shelf life. Fast fashion endorses about 52 seasons each year. This means that there are new designs of clothes out and up in the market every week of the year. This especially caters to the highly digitally dependent population. Everyone sees somebody else wearing a more trendy style and demand increases. MNC’s cater to this and supply new, stylish designs. However, it is at the cost of pushing haute couture out of the picture and destroying the environment.
However, Haute Couture has withdrawn from the public eye for the most part. It now exists and creates only for the richest of the rich, making epoch changing fashion trends in the background. You could learn more about the history of Haute Couture here.

Physical & Mental Activeness
The current situation restrained you from going for the sports that you have been enjoying so far. You may not be able to swim, go hit the gym or even get on the terrace of your apartment.
YouTube channels show fitness and work out at home. There are physical abilities you may not know about, for example, Zumba dancing, yoga, tai chi, and many other activities. The library is not accessible, however, you may access the books online. Musical instruments at home may help you build up an environment of relaxation.
Mental Health
Address mental health issues if you usually suffer from them. Mental Instability may worry you more during this time of the pandemic. You may start eating too much or eat nothing at all.

If your social connections are available over the phone do not disconnect your relationship with them. The vulnerability of an emotional connection can kill more than the virus spreading across. Also for those who live alone, we find it difficult to cope up with these situations. A simple message or a question of concern can turn out to be helpful and powering people who need moral and social support.
Believe – It is important to believe in yourself. The current situation is not worse than the world war and the great depression that few other countries have gone through. They have been into more social trauma and gone through it and so will we. It is important to have faith and believe in yourself.
Keep yourself connected to the learning activities and creativity if you have been dealing with a psychotherapist. Do not fail to connect with them if you think you need them in the current situation.
