Hey Stylish! –is that a scarf around your neck?
Well, if it is, then attagirl, you are ‘in’ with the times and all you need to do now is take that scarf and play around with it.
Yes, experiment various ways of tying it on – like a cravat around your neck perhaps. (If you have a low neckline it can be a great help to avoid embarrassment in certain company!)
How about tying it around your waist as a belt? Comfortable and stylish, this is a simple and hip way to add a dash of individuality to your outfit.
The age-old charming dupatta has morphed into an indo-western accessory of its own. We have all noticed the change take place slowly but surely and now more than ever the scarf is taking on the very important role of ‘individual style definer’.
The much loved Fabindia is normally on the ‘must shop at’ list for many of us on our annual pilgrimage back home. What will interest all you fans out there is the latest range of traditional and contemporary craft – based jewellery that the store has launched in its Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Chennai outlets.
The jewellery reflects the same style approach combining the classic with the contemporary as the garments and makes coordinating your outfits a dream!
The beginning of October will bring ‘Bridal Extravaganza’ – a good show to witness bridal collections of top designers – Ritu Beri, Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi Mukherjee and many more.
Whether it is trousseau shopping or festive buys – clothes, bags, shoes, accessories – this is an event you don’t want to miss if you happen to be in Delhi. Hotel Ashok, October 7-9.
Sabyasachi Mukherjee will be participating in the New York Fashion Week where he represents India with a collection that could be a trendsetter yet again. He wowed his audience at a preview showing of his line. Fashion writer Janet Walker writes in the LA Splash: “The collection ended with Tracy Chapman singing Talkin’ About a Revolution and the line is just that.”
Sabyasachi believes fusion is tacky, is glad that silhouettes are moving from frumpy to super-sexy, and might even have many exotic mini-tennis dresses to show. Time to get those legs in shape girls!
Meanwhile, Singapore’s very own Raffles Design Institute, which has a branch in Mumbai, has produced the winner of the Indian leg of the Triumph Inspiration Award.
The Award challenged students from prestigious international design schools to create a conceptual showpiece set, comprising an underwired bra and brief, dedicated to a special design motto. Female Fascination was the theme and Divyanka Bedi was the winner with her design ‘Lady Ivy’.
So here’s raising a toast to creative lingerie, rising hemlines, festive dizziness and continued style tidings from ‘desh and videsh’!
