This story is not about an ‘ideal fashion designer’, nor is it about a ‘model-turned-designer’. It is about a respected designer from the Indian fashion fraternity – Rina Dhaka – who, at least I never knew modelled for fashion spreads in the magazines in her earlier days. I stole these pictures from Facebook when it […]
Rohit Bal closed the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) Spring-Summer 2015 edition with a magnum-opus presentation. Bal’s designs were of course the star of the evening but so was Subha Mudgil who performed live. Here is a partial review of good shows that I penned for The Sunday Standard: http://epaper.thesundaystandard.com/354474/The-Sunday-Standard-Delhi/12-10-2014#page/3/1 By the way do […]
The past week we in Delhi had a double dose of good fashion. First we had a sneak-peek at Rohit Bal’s ‘Gulbagh’ collection for the forthcoming Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2015 and then we enjoyed Manav Gangwani’s extravagant Haute Couture 2014 show. You can read my take on them in Sunday Standard. Here […]

The collection was fresh in terms that it wasn’t loud with splatter of neon colors. In fact it was pretty subdued where mostly white and pale pastel hues formed the background of the collection. Fanny packs are brought back […]
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is finally heading off to the United States of America today. And yes he has got himself a ‘designer’ wardrobe designed by excellent designer for bespoke menswear – Troy Costa. Obviously Troy refused to say anything on him designing for the PM. Modi must have made him sign a ‘non disclosure’ […]
This picture says it all. It reveals the truth behind those six-packs that Bollywood actors on the wrong side of 40 flaunt on the celluloid.

As if we in India didn’t have enough ‘Fashion Weeks’, now we have ‘Sports International Fashion Week’ this November.

SRK’s soft-corner for Priyanka Chopra, especially when she was trying to establish herself as a singer is now a well-debated story. People got them married too. But yeah Shahrukh went all out to […]
