Retrovolt Arcade in Calimesa. Through Bohbot’s lens, arcades open to the viewer like a tightly woven shortfilm, noire-esque even. There is a feeling of criminality within the photos, as if you’ve found your way into a speakeasy, where acts are taking place – hidden, fringe, and celebrated by those lucky few able to produce the password for the doorman.

Maxine Gregson’s artworks – which have been described as “nostalgic futurism” – combine postcards and magazines bought on eBay, as well as her own photography, with snippets of lyrics and literature. “Joni Mitchell is a big inspiration,” she says. “I’ve also created pieces inspired by Bob Dylan, Joseph Heller and John Cheever. I’m currently reading JG Ballard as I’m told my work has similar dystopian qualities.”
A graphic designer by trade, the Bolton-born artist honed her skill for combining pictures and typography at her day job. “This started as a hobby, a respite from the corporate world, but it’s become the career I always desired. There’s nothing better than seeing my art in people’s homes.”

Mumbai: While leading Bollywood celebs turned out in their super-stylish avatars at the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad exuded style while sending out serious couple goals at the event.
For the last few months, Hrithik and Saba have been commenting on each other’s social media posts. After attending the Saturday event of the NMACC, Hrithik and Saba posted pictures on Instagram of them flashing smiles for the lenses. One frame showed Hrithik looking at Saba in a manner exuding his feelings for her while Saba’s eyes are fixed at the camera. The ‘Rocket Boys’ star looked vibrant in a red fusion gown while Hrithik chose a black kurta paired with pyjamas for the evening.
Sharing the pictures, Hrithik wrote in the caption, “With lady in red.” Reacting to his pictures, Hrithik’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan posted a couple of emojis.
Hrithik’s friends, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar and actors Bipasha Basu and Shruti Haasan, also shared emojis on his pictures.
Sharing the same set of pictures, Saba wrote in the caption, “Ro and Sa’s night out!!”
Rumours about Hrithik and Saba’s relationship started swirling after they were spotted out on a dinner date in February last year. Later, she also joined Hrithik’s family for a get-together.
All speculations on their relationship were set at rest after the two walked hand-in-hand at actor Karan Johar’s 50th birthday bash in May. Hrithik was previously married to interior designer Sussanne Khan. The NMACC, situated within the Jio World Centre at Bandra Kurla Complex here, was inaugurated on Friday and the fashion showcase was launched on the second day of the opening gala on Saturday.
The exhibition explores the layered impact that traditional Indian dress, textiles and craft have had on international fashion sensibility since the 18th century and features iconic Western couture and ready-to-wear designs inspired by India, from the 20th and 21st centuries.
