Bollywood stars have permeated every aspect of our lives. Be it toothpastes, biscuits, cars, pills to cure erectile dysfunction and creams for prevention of vaginal infection, Bollywood stars are endorsing everything. In clothings, B-Towns sell ganji-jaangia to lehengaas and sherwanis. There is nothing wrong in it as nothing sells better than Bollywood in India. But […]
Event sponsors are very demanding and at times demand for weirdest of things. At the just concluded India Bridal Fashion Week, which was sponsored by BMW, I found it odd for the BMW sedan to appear on the ramp on each and every show with LED headlamps illuminating the derriere of the models. A luxury […]
Money can buy you big designers, movie stars to walk the ramp, overwhelming ‘paid editorial’ but money surely can’t buy you honest reportage and most importantly – finesse! The debut India Bridal Fashion Week 2013 in Delhi ended on Sunday and the only high-point about this six-day affair were two outstanding collections presented by Rohit […]
Well Aishwarya Rai Bachchan finally had a fab-fashion season at Cannes this year.

Her face, her body, her complexion and most importantly her attitude towards work has caught our attention instantaneously. She reminds us of Laxmi Menon who […]
There seems to be no end to fashion politics and no dearth of designers falling prey to people attempting at fracturing the fashion fraternity. Remember Vijay Singh – the man who had formed FDPC and had ambitious plans to disintegrate FDCI – is still at his games. Not satisfied with the lack-lustre Sahara India Bridal […]
Parmeshwar and Adi Godrej hosted a bash at their lovely beach house for Talkshow Queen – Oprah Winfrey last night (16th January 2012). The Desis flocked in their best western-wear but Oprah stood out in an orange silk sari. The party had Bollywood Glitteratti, Industry Tycoons and top Fashion Designers but then Mumbai Cops played […]
When one’s husband is the Chairman of the Body organising a Fashion Week, the wife can be assured of a a Prime Slot amongst big-ticket designers even if her credibility as a designer is yet to be tested. Vijay Singh, the Chairman of FDPC (I thought this body was defunct but Singh still uses it.) […]
Rahul Gandhi was the surprise guest at Boxer Vijendra Singh’s wedding at the Flying Club. Dressed in his white kurta -pajama, Rahul blessed the duo and chatted up the couple.
