Fuchsia Now, Estee Lauder
Fuchsia Now, the new make-up collection from Estee Lauder, pairs warm honey and tender peach shades with fuchsia to create a look that’s flattering for all skin tones.

Manish Arora for Swatch

Available at: Swatch stores across the country

For him


Delhi Daredevils Merchandise, Adidas
Adidas has a new range of gear, including a fiery red and blue match jersey, graphic T-shirts and other accessories. Just like the team’s gear, all fabrics have the clima-cool technology, open mesh and ventilation channels, to keep you cool this summer.
Price: Rs 499-1,699
Available at: Adidas stores across the country

Histoire de Tourbillon, Harry Winston
Histoire de Tourbillon is a tribute to one of the most exclusive horological complications—the tourbillon. The mechanism improves accuracy by countering the effect of gravity and demonstrates the heights of watch-making virtuosity. Sleek and stylish, the limited edition timepieces come in five distinct designs and are made of white gold and zalium.
Price: On request
Available at: Harry Winston boutique at DLF Emporio, New Delhi

Starwalker Black Mystery, Montblanc

One of the most sought-after brands in the business, there’s little left to be said about Montblanc’s writing range that makes a statement on its own. Starwalker Black Mystery, their new collection, includes fountain pens, ball points and fine-liners in linear laserengraved patterns. Platinum-plated fittings and handcrafted rhodium-plated 14 K gold nibs add to the charm.
Price: Rs 21,150-22,850
Available at: Montblanc boutiques at Taj Mahal Palace and Towers, Mumbai; Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi; and UB City Mall, Bangalore

Pure Man, Police
That there is a top style brand named Police is hilarious even in the West, where cops are best-known for their addiction to doughnuts and fits of unprovoked violence. But in India, it’s hysterical. Thankfully, this intensely masculine fragrance doesn’t smell anything like actual policemen, particularly in the summer. Except for the ones who have top notes of bergamot, ginger and grapefruit. Watch this space for Army Cadet Pour Homme and Security Guard by Calvin Klein.
Price: Rs 2,400
Available at: Multi-brand outlets across the country

Vodka, Ketel One

Ketel One vodka is produced by the Nolet family from Holland. Famous for its art of distilling for over 10 generations, the vodka’s still produced in copper pot stills in small batches and every batch is tasted by a Nolet to ensure the smooth satisfying flavour.
Price: Rs 2,000
Available at: Leading liquor outlets across India

Shoes, Corneliani
Yes it’s summer, but the straightforward tans and naturals don’t always cut it, not if you want to make a sharp impression. Try a pair of patent leather or perforated leather shoes from Corneliani in black and blue.
Price: Rs 8,000-1,20,000
Available at: Blues Clothing Company, South Extension-I, New Delhi
