SELF-ACCEPTANCE: THE STORY OF QUBOOL
The world is always in motion. It urges us forward, demanding we do more, be more, and fit into molds that often don’t feel like our own. In this endless search for belonging, we sometimes forget that the most profound connection we can have is the one with ourselves.
This realisation is at the heart of Qubool, AMPM’s latest collection, which serves as a tender invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace who we are in this very moment.
Since its transformative rebranding almost two years ago, AMPM has been telling stories that go beyond fashion. Starting with Itminaan, a call to find peace by setting our own pace, the journey has continued through Ehsaas, which marked the awakening that shifts our understanding of existence, and Nirvaan, a tribute to liberation from worldly desires.
Subsequent collections like Ekam, Duniya, and Qainaat explored oneness with the universe and celebrated the interconnected beauty of life.
The latest stop in this soul-stirring journey — Qubool enters as a tender, heartfelt ode to self-acceptance.
THE GENTLE STRENGTH OF SELF-ACCEPTANCE
In a world that often demands conformity, Qubool reminds us of a profound truth: oneness does not mean sameness. Instead, it is in the quiet, unshakeable acceptance of who we are that we discover the truest form of connection. Self-acceptance is not about achieving perfection; it is about making peace with who we are — the joys, the flaws, the contradictions, and the complexities.
Self-acceptance doesn’t just free us; it transforms how we see others. It allows us to connect without judgment, to find compassion in shared humanity. This is the heart of Qubool — a collection that celebrates individuality while honoring the collective beauty of life.
In the same way, I accepted that seed, that unconsciousness of thoughts.
I accepted the touch of that water and that feeling...
In this celebration, I connected with myself
And once again, I accepted myself.
On a canvas of luxurious silks and diaphanous organza, the collection brings to life a dreamscape of horses, peacocks, and blossoms in full bloom. Each motif symbolising movement, grace, and renewal. These motifs, steeped in heritage, remind us of the interconnectedness of life. The collection speaks the language of quiet luxury, offering elegant kurta palazzo sets, long tunics with pants, evening dresses, and fluid organza dresses that flow like poetry in motion.

Every garment tells a story. Deep jewel tones — emerald greens, rich golds, and classic blacks — evoke a sense of quiet strength. Imagine the fluidity of a green silk dress, catching the light as you move, or the timeless allure of a black long sleeve dress. Imagine standing in an elegant organza cape, feeling its lightness embrace your shoulders, or wearing a flowing long evening dress that moves with your every step. These are not just clothes; they are expressions of self, invitations to celebrate who you are in this moment.
Each piece carries thoughtful details — intricate quilting, delicate applique, and brass embellishments — that elevate the garments. In the simplicity of a black silk scarf or the understated elegance of a silver metal clutch bag, there lies a quiet confidence, a reminder to hold yourself with the same grace and love you offer the world.

THAT DELIGHT
No story is complete without its supporting characters, and in Qubool, the accessories take center stage. AMPM’s muchadored bags make a grand return — think intricately embossed metallic purses that catch the light and capture the heart. From the perfect gold metallic clutch purse to a timeless silver wristlet bag, these pieces tell their own story.
Qubool: An Invitation to Belong
The festive season often revolves around togetherness — gatherings, celebrations, and connections with loved ones. But amidst this outward focus, Qubool gently nudges us to look inward. It invites us to honour the relationship we have with ourselves, reminding us that self-acceptance is not a single moment but an ongoing practice.
To accept yourself is to say, “I belong.” It’s an act of quiet courage that allows you to embrace your imperfections and celebrate your unique journey.
And as Qubool shows us, when we belong to ourselves, we create space to truly belong to the world.
Let this festive season be different. Let it be a time when you dress not just for the world but for yourself. Let the timeless charm of festive holiday dresses, kurta sets, and elegant evening dresses remind you of your inherent worth.
For in every finely crafted detail — from the soft embroidery on a green top to the delicate shimmer of a silver metal clutch bag — lies a quiet affirmation: You are enoug
