Art sometimes flirts with fashion. Fashion, however, is often more overt in her advances towards art. Such was the case with these Prada heels from FW08. I had saved this image for my archives ages ago, but couldn’t think of why I was so obsessed with these shoes. I don’t generally prefer Prada or have [...]
I gasped out loud at the beauty of these hauntingly beautiful pieces of wearable art by Hussein Chalayan. A song comes to mind… “The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves – after all The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves – after all It’s a competitive world Everything counts [...]
Womenswear has been a desert for the past few years. (The McQueens and the elites of Japan and Belgium aside of course, as that is a fantastic solar system unto itself). For the most part, there is sand everywhere, but it is water we seek to quench our thirst. We need the oasis that is [...]
Vogue Italia and Steven Meisel are the magazine equivalent of peanut butter and jam these days. I love the curious mix of couture and cowboy as Meisel photographed – simply – Three Women for the mag’s February 2010 issue. Model Agyness Deyn, model/musician Jamie Bochert and muse/mogul Daphne Guinness are the chosen three. All photos [...]
We know that the last few seasons in fashion have been all about the Big Shoulder, but have the proportions gotten ridiculous now? Note the picture frame shoulders at Prashant Verma’s Ego collection at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week AW10. Guess his point is that you need big a** shoulders to prop up a large [...]
This sweet little video from master cobbler Christian Louboutin reminds us of the power of daydreams. Keep tapping your feet, keep a sparkle in your step and keep dreaming. It will all come true!
The pompous plumes were later pacified at Gaurav and Ritika… The proportions and layering of greys and black in the last look on the right is dreamlike. I want to wear this for Spring and float into a brand new version of me. The second look echoes Belgian design and is right on point in [...]

The Motherland has lost her modesty. Welcome to the New India, my dears. She’s no longer hidden from view. Printed lace, a pretty face, a dreamy shoe and a bit of frou at Tarun Tahiliani. Photo courtesy of WIFW.
The irony of India Fashion Week starting a day late (in Indian Standard Time) is not lost on this desi girl. Someone forgot to get a fire permit so all shows on the first day were cancelled. It’s the second fashion week in India this month with Lakme Fashion Week happening in Mumbai earlier in [...]
Fashion had me at a very young age. Well before pointy shoes and McQueen and paisley pashminas, I learned to covet shiny objects. Like many soul sisters (and not so little boys) the world over, I adored Wonder Woman. Her power cuff bracelets were the specific objects of my affection. You know the ones – [...]
Dearest Goddess of Spring, Embrace us with your warmth. Wrap us in fantasy. Show us your true colours. We await the new. Photo courtesy of Lakme Fashion Week.
Rose Cordero channels a younger, softer Grace Jones for the March issue of Paris Vogue. It’s bold without being brash. Rose also made the cover of the mag – compare it with other March issues. All photos of Rose Cordero by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, courtesy of Paris Vogue.
…or is it City Chick? Either way, Bottega Veneta – the name synonymous with sophisticated, understated yet luxe glamour – has us covered. Their Resort 2010 collection was one of the best this year in terms of wearable and wanted wardrobe. These are just amazing clothes for doing just about anything in. Skinnies don’t always [...]
Was there a spring in your step today? Well, if the warm weather and the fact that it was St. Paddy’s Day didn’t do it, these little numbers are sure to! Sigh. If only I were lucky enough to wear couture. Photo courtesy of Style.com.
