The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund fête was held in New York last night. It made me smile to hear that Joseph Altuzarra won this year’s Fund, taking home $300,000 USD. I met Joseph briefly at the FIT Symposium in New York a couple of weeks ago, where he spoke about both the creative and the business [...]

My dears, I give you Mr. Rampal - in character for Ra.One – the Bolly sci-fi action/adventure flick in theatres now. WhileRampal has always been buff (he’s a former model), this is a whole new level of lean [...]
The boys are back. The original scene stealers and directors of fashion films in the form of music videos are in top form, after more than 30 years. Duran Duran have given us a piece of visual culture as only they can deliver, in a shiny, oozing new vid for Girl Panic, featuring not models [...]
I photographed this moment in fashion time while attending the symposium on Fashion Icons and Insiders at FIT in New York, last week. I’ll share my thoughts with you on the stories told during those two days, but thought this image deserved its own moment. It said a lot to me about the grandeur of [...]

She has a unique take on Indian fashion – which to me, isn’t really Indian fashion per se, but offers a keen view of the world from her home base, which just happens to be in India. Her Spring/Resort 2011 collection at Lakme Fashion [...]
