  • Sudha Reddy Stuns At Met Gala 2024 Pays Ode To Indian Craftsmanship & Heritage


    Sudha Reddy at Met Gala 2024

    HYDERABAD: Renowned philanthropist and businesswoman Sudha Reddy, hailing from Hyderabad, made a captivating appearance at the prestigious 2024 Met Gala, hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6th. Embracing the theme ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, her red-carpet ensemble was a true reflection of her profound understanding of the theme and the ‘Garden Of Time’ dress code, following her remarkable debut in 2021.

    Clad in a custom creation from the esteemed couturier Tarun Tahiliani’s atelier, complemented by exquisite jewelry from Farah Khan Ali, Sudha Reddy presented a red-carpet moment that seamlessly blended timelessness with avant-garde flair. Capturing the fleeting essence of time, the monochromatic ensemble wasn’t just couture; it was a masterclass in storytelling and symbolism through fashion. It served as a metaphor for India’s artistic revival, mirroring the nation’s current creative and cultural boom and showcasing the beauty and depth of Indian craftsmanship and design.

    Handcrafted by over 80 artisans over 4500 man hours, the ivory silk gown was a true testament to collaboration. The hand-corseted bodice featured a miniature self-portrait of Sudha holding a delicate rose, symbolizing the promise of hope and peace. The bodice itself was a marvel of meticulous craftsmanship, painstakingly rendered with thousands of French knots, intricate Indian couching embroidery, and shimmering silk threads. Adorning the bodice were hand-carved mother-of-pearl flowers, symbolizing luminosity and permanence, while 3D butterflies symbolized the cycle of life. The flowing drapery of the gown cascaded like unfolding flower petals, embodying the yearning for self-expression. Symbolizing themes of regeneration and transformation, a voluminous cape made of panels of embroidered tulle added a textural element to the hand-crafted mother-of-pearl flowers and crystal shoulder accessory designed by Miodrag Guberinić, known for creating accessories for Lady Gaga and Madonna.

    The centerpiece of Sudha Reddy’s ensemble was undoubtedly the ‘Amore Eterno’ necklace, a stunning masterpiece from her collection. This exquisite piece was adorned with 25 exceptional solitaires, totaling over 180 carats, embodying the enduring legacy of the present and future generations of the Reddy family. At the core of the necklace lay a symbolic family tree crafted from four large, heart-shaped diamonds. The largest diamond, a 25-carat King of Hearts, honors Krishna Reddy, while the Queen of Hearts, a 20-carat heart, symbolizes Sudha Reddy. Two additional 20-carat hearts, known as the Prince of Knowledge and Prince of Treasures, represented their sons, Pranav and Manas. Completing this masterpiece were twenty-one luminescent round diamonds, symbolizing the shared experiences and cherished moments of Sudha-Krishna’s love story. Other jewels included a 20-carat heart-shaped diamond ring and a 23-carat yellow diamond ring.

    Sudha Reddy’s elegance extended beyond her outfit with the off-white vintage Chanel clutch from the ‘Falling For Camellias’ collection and custom-made pearl-adorned stilettos. Stylist Gautam Kalra assembled a dream team: celebrity makeup artist Nina Ubhi accentuated her natural beauty with fresh dewy makeup and a clean messy bun accentuated with bejeweled hairpins from Amrapali nail artist Fleury Rose transformed her fingertips into miniature works of art with cascading white flowers and Swarovski crystals manicure that took 100 hours to create.

    Sudha Reddy said, “It was an incredible evening at the Met Gala 2024! I’m grateful to have received the opportunity to celebrate culture, community, and creativity on such a grand scale, once again. Collaborations are what make fashion so exciting! Thank you to everyone who made this possible, from the visionary designers to my management and my glam team.”

    Tarun Tahiliani said, “It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Sudha Reddy on the custom-made MET outfit and translate the multi-layered theme into a work of art. Sudha’s self-portrait on the corset, combined with our signature draping technique and handcrafted embroideries and embellishments, conjures imagery of a blossoming garden, inviting the viewer to embrace authenticity in an ever-changing world. A metaphor for India as a sleeping beauty that is reawakening, the outfit celebrates the timelessness of heritage workmanship, transcendence of temporal boundaries, and the eternal cycle of renewal and regeneration.”

    Farah Khan Ali said, “Crafting the ‘Amore Eterno’ necklace wasn’t just about finding rare diamonds; it was about capturing the essence of love and time. I meticulously searched various corners of the world for these natural diamonds which took months of meticulous planning, designing, high-precision laser cutting, and polishing to create the final result. Boasting 180 carats of natural diamonds, Sudha’s ‘Amore Eterno’ necklace mirrors life’s cyclical dance, where the past, the present, and the future converge.”

    Global smartphone market up 6 per cent in Q1, revenue at highest level: ReportIANS

    The global smartphone market witnessed a significant shift in the first quarter of 2024, with Samsung taking the lead from Apple to become the top player. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, the global smartphone market grew by 6% year-on-year to reach 296.9 million unit shipments in the first quarter of 2024. Samsung managed to secure a 20% shipment share, marking a significant milestone in the competitive landscape of the smartphone industry.

    The growth in the global smartphone market was primarily driven by strong performance in key regions such as Europe, Middle East and Africa (MEA), Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), and India. The Indian market, in particular, saw growth due to healthy inventory levels exiting 2023. However, the mature markets of North America and Japan experienced a decline relative to the same period in 2023, as noted by senior analyst Prachir Singh.

    Apple, on the other hand, witnessed a 13% year-on-year decline in shipments, primarily due to high inventory build-up during the last quarter. Despite the decline in shipments, the brand’s average selling price (ASP) grew by 2% year-on-year, indicating a shift in consumer preference towards higher-priced models.

    Emerging Trends and Key Players

    Among the top five original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Xiaomi stood out with the fastest revenue growth, thanks to its strong performance in key markets. This growth is a testament to the brand’s strategic focus on product innovation and market expansion.

    Research director Jeff Fieldhack pointed out several factors that weighed on iPhone’s performance. These included tough competition in China, record low upgrades in the US, and a difficult comparison from the previous year due to the supply of iPhone 14 Pro shifting to Q1 2023.

    Samsung’s rise to the top spot was driven by the early refresh of the Galaxy-A-series and the strong performance of the Galaxy S24 series. The company also reached its highest-ever ASP during the quarter, further solidifying its position in the market.

    The Rise of GenAI and Future Projections

    The report also highlighted the emergence of GenAI-capable smartphones, with more than 10 OEMs launching over 30 such devices. Counterpoint Research estimates that GenAI’s share of overall smartphone shipments will reach 11% in 2024, indicating a growing trend towards AI-enabled devices.

    The global smartphone revenues also saw a 7% growth in Q1 2024, reaching the highest-ever level for the first quarter of the year. This growth underscores the increasing consumer spending on smartphones and the growing importance of the smartphone industry in the global economy.

    In the past, similar shifts in market leadership have occurred, reflecting the dynamic nature of the smartphone industry. For instance, Nokia was once the undisputed leader in the mobile phone market before being dethroned by Apple and Samsung. The current shift in market leadership underscores the importance of continuous innovation and adaptability in the highly competitive smartphone market.

    The first quarter of 2024 marked a significant shift in the global smartphone market, with Samsung dethroning Apple to become the top player. The growth in the market was driven by strong performance in key regions and the emergence of GenAI-capable smartphones. However, the dynamic nature of the smartphone market means that manufacturers must continue to innovate and adapt to maintain their market positions. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends develop and what new innovations will shape the future of the global smartphone market.
