Zeenat Aman for Tyaani Jewellery: When Icons Outlast Time

There are moments in fashion and culture when the past and the present collide — not quietly, but in a dazzling spectacle that makes you pause. Zeenat Aman’s debut as the face of Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar’s campaign, Forces of Tyaani, is one such moment.

In this campaign, Aman does not play muse. She is the message. Styled in sharp, contemporary silhouettes and surrounded by artefacts of artistry, she becomes the artefact herself — timeless, radiant, and impossible to replicate. Tyaani’s signature uncut diamond jewellery doesn’t just sit on her; it converses with her legacy, amplifying the fact that real icons never recede, they only reinvent.

This is not nostalgia dressed up in couture. This is the Zeenat Aman of label of “yesteryear’s icon” with characteristic audacity, proving that charisma this potent refuses to age. Just as she once redefined beauty on screen, she now redefines luxury, bold, unapologetic, and infinitely contemporary. Her line — “I am, and will remain, Zeenat Aman. Today, tomorrow, forever.” — is not mere branding. It is a cultural rebuke to an industry obsessed with youth, proving that confidence, like uncut diamonds, only glows brighter with time.

Johar himself calls her presence “nothing short of a dream,” but it’s more than that. It’s a coup of cultural significance. After all, Forces of Tyaani has already celebrated powerful voices — Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal, Kalki Koechlin, Shweta Tripathi, Jim Sarbh, Kusha Kapila, among others. Yet it is Zeenat Aman’s arrival that transforms the campaign into a crescendo, a declaration that individuality is not just rare luxury — it is survival, rebellion, and allure, all at once.

Karan Johar puts it simply: “To have THE Zeenat Aman headline Forces of Tyaani is nothing short of a dream. At Tyaani, we have always believed that individuality is the rarest form of luxury — and Zeenat Aman embodies that truth in every sense.”

This isn’t just a jewellery campaign. It is a reclamation of narrative. Of choosing bold over quiet, audacity over minimalism, spectacle over silence. As Aman reminds us — “they don’t make icons like they used to.” And perhaps, that is precisely the point.

Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar is available in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, and online at tyaani.com.
