St. Moritz becomes an open-air spa

ST. MORITZ BECOMES AN OPEN-AIR SPA

Nature with VIP status: in summer, the glamorous Alpine village offers countless opportunities to relax and rejuvenate your body and soul.

When the sun regains its strength after the long winter, the Maloja wind takes its first breaths and the meadows and forests turn green once more. St. Moritz turns into the most beautiful open-air spa in Switzerland. At this time of year, for once, it isn’t the many celebrities strolling the quaint cobbled streets of this exclusive holiday destination who take centre stage. Nature is the real VIP. Countless wellness treatments and activities invite visitors and locals to relax and get active in equal measure.

Have you ever shared your yoga mat with a goat? Yoga with goats has a calming effect that can reduce stress and help people find inner peace. The same is true of ‘forest bathing’, the latest health trend from Japan. With its lush larch forests and mountain pines, St. Moritz is the ideal place to take this meditative experience to a whole new level. Even a walk around Lake St. Moritz is a great way helps slow the stressful pace of everyday life. And if you head out onto the water on a stand-up paddleboard, you can see the village with its galleries, starred restaurants and luxury boutiques from a whole new perspective.

The legendary grand hotels like Badrutt’s Palace, the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, the Carlton Hotel, the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains and Suvretta House also draw on the power of nature. They all offer spa treatments inspired by the local flora and fauna. Natural ingredients such as floral blends, quartz and junipers are used to pamper and sooth the senses. An absolute must for all spa guests in St. Moritz is a bath in the local healing spring water. The Alpine village has been renowned for its mineral water for centuries and respected naturopaths such as Paracelsus have been praising its healing properties since the 1500s.

St. Moritz’s exquisite ‘champagne climate’ and more than 320 days of sunshine every year ensure that summer is full of an exciting array of unforgettable experiences. And of course, the most luxurious open-air spa in Engadin is surrounded by the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps, as far as the eye can see.

Diganga Suryavanshi gets snake-choked while shooting for upcoming movie Hippi, in Sri Lanka

Diganga Suryavanshi gets snake-choked while shooting for upcoming movie Hippi, in Sri Lanka

Our favorite actors work extremely hard to entertain us but sometimes they may get injured, major, minor or dangerous. It is all the same. One such recent incident happened when the very gorgeous Digangana Suryavanshi almost got choked by a snake in Sri Lanka while shooting for her upcoming film Hippi.

It is common for snake-charmers to roam around in Sri Lanka, and move from one place to another visiting around. They visited the sets of Hippi too. Digangana took some lovely shots with the snake initially, but things got serious when it started choking her. Digangana being the courageous woman that she is, grabbed the snake by its neck so it wouldn’t choke her more. The snake charmers then safely came and got the snake off Digangana. Although she wasn’t wounded, it was still an incident that shook her.

She will now be seen in the upcoming movie Hippi alongside young and dashing Karthikeya. The trailer was unveiled recently and is already a huge hit amongst the audiences. The trailer shows that the movie is about two young people in love. The films seem to have not only action episodes but also some romantic scenes between Karithkeya and Digangana, making it a complete entertainer, and on 7th of June 2019 the movie is releasing which is produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu and Directed by T N Kirshna.

The Right Cut | Indian Summer – Spring/ Summer'19

INDIAN SUMMER

“We always imagine the sun dropping down away from us, but it stays still.”

Indian summer, in all of our memories, are those long golden days of laze spent at our Grandma’s house reading a book, strolling the gardens, enjoying most delicious delicacies or watching movies on VCRs. And dressing up nice used to be a very important part of these holidays.

Channeling our 90’s fashion memories into our Indian summer range has been nothing but super nostalgic. The label here, has used Cotton mul fabric woven with dobby weaving techniques embroidered with flowers summer brings, mainly flowers we spot in urban areas, a tree overshadowing the house with red and orange flowers, or a tree generously shedding its flowers onto the ground, or plants we see on the highways just making a picture perfect scenery mixed with the deep golden and blue sky.

“And the sun glinted now and again on the melancholy reflection of his.”

Indian summer is for everyone who shares similar memories and loves the sweet melancholy and laze that summer brings along. It’s important in life to stop and smell the flowers.

ABOUT THE RIGHT CUT

The label draws inspirations from their kinsfolk – decorating their handkerchiefs, bed-sheets, embroidering initials with anchor threads in between of their household chaos finding that solitude. Our collections are deeply inspired by flowers that we’ve grown seeing in our backyard, spending time with them dawn to dusk with a book or just simply doodling.

From being mountain babies to being fast fashion lovers, sisters, Avisha and Ilakshi both grew up with a laid-back approach and slow lifestyle. Their journey began 3 years ago when their cultural selves started overshadowing their personality and fast fashion got boring. “The Right Cut woman is a modern family girl who is Urbane & Easy going.” Being around a lot of fashion-loving women with different shapes & sizes, The Right Cut was named as an ode to them, custom making clothes for different sizes and being body positive.

The brand specializes in needlework, hand embroideries on homespun fabrics resulting in designs that are timeless.
