Today’s the Day: Launching A Trend Ahead

I am so excited to finally launch A Trend Ahead — a one-stop lifestyle blog created for the unique interests of South Asian women. As a woman born and raised in Toronto with roots from India and East Africa, I had a fairly typical Canadian upbringing. But when it came to certain elements like fashion, beauty standards, religion, and relationships, I always felt there was a gap. Should I look to western magazines for advice, or turn to my immigrant mother? The answer was never simple — and that’s exactly the space I wanted to fill.

From The Saree Room to A Trend Ahead

It’s one of the reasons I founded The Saree Room — to offer women like myself the perfect balance of tradition and modernity, both in design and in shopping experience. Now that TSR has established itself as that space, I realized there was another niche waiting to be created: a platform where voices like mine could be heard and celebrated.

A Space for Our Stories

We are part of a generation where social media has given us the chance to showcase our culture on a global stage. But representation is more than posting outfits — it’s about hearing diverse perspectives from modern, independent women who embrace some traditions of their heritage while letting go of others. This blog is where we’ll explore those stories.

Culture, Fashion, and Lifestyle

On a lighter note, I also wanted a space to talk about everything from fashion and make-up to the hottest spots in your city for a night out. Think of A Trend Ahead as your go-to source for what’s next in South Asian fashion, culture, and lifestyle — curated for today’s modern South Asian woman.
