It’s Pay Back Time…High Time
I was delighted to hear that Louis Vuitton will display Shobha Deepak Singh’s Vastra Sobha at LV outlets coming Diwali. Vastra Shobha’s zardozi, antique irreplaceable rare textiles, veils, borders and coats enjoy a place in this selection.

Gaurav Gupta was Good, Gudda was Great
The 2nd day at Delhi Couture Week I got to see some real couture. One from a relatively new star – Gaurav Gupta and the other from the maestro – Rohit Bal. Gaurav Gupta has been doing drapes since he entered the industry. I didn’t quiet like his Pret Fall 2010 collection where drapes were […]
Designer Shoe Laces
I wouldn’t have even dreamt of Designer Shoe Laces. But the European designers are taking fashion to where not many would have dared.

Rohit Bal’s shows are hypnotic. Their grandeur, their hype and the mad rush to watch his […]
Louis Vuitton Ki Toh Balle-Balle
I fear that day is not far away when like the quintessential Indian Bandhgala, the Sikh Turban would be taken over by the western fashion world. Well the Sikh Turban has already inspired Karl Lagerfeld in 2010 to send down male models on the Chanel show donning turbans. Lagerfeld however called it ‘Murban’ (Male Turban). […]

Suneet Varma’s Glorious 25 Years
To be in an industry for 25 years in itself is an achievement but for Suneet Varma it hasn’t just been existing in the fashion industry for 25-years, but existing in it in the top-league that makes it more praiseworthy.
