In the past few days I’ve heard lots of comments from different people at the fashion weeks. Some nice, some bitchy.  But this one takes the cake. Here’s what a fashion editor of a prominent foreign magazine that’s just made inroads into India had to say, about the Manish Arora show  That was Alice In Wonderland on crack!  Yet another comment by a ... more...

Style & Substance We're here at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in Delhi and from what I've seen so far, the event promises to be a showstopper in terms of the actual collections to be showcased on the ramp. All that Bollywood bruhaha is fine to rev up the media hype, but for the business of fashion to progress, the real meat is in the desig... more...

Today is Day 5 of the fashion week here in Mumbai and then we zip across to Delhi for more action. But here’s the update of the happenings here in Mumbai.  Designer Narendra Kumar staged a protest in a rather dramatic way, and I must say – I liked it! He ‘speak-folded’ his models (akin to blind folding), who made a dramatic entry as it is to the so... more...

Raima goes bong-kers!We bumped into Raima Sen looking all dolled up in a pretty girl-next-door sort of way with BIG curls in her hair, a simple white shirt, denims and white high heels. Raima's all excited about her film with director Anjum Dutt -- The Bong Connection -- and admits that her favourite director to work with is none other than Ritupar... more...

How Ujwala Raut lost weight  Model Ujwala Raut who walked the ramp for designer Wendell looked slim and trim in spite of having baby recently. I asked her, “ How did you do it?”Her foreigner hubby, who seems to have a naughty streak said something rather unmentionable with a twinkle in his eye. On a serious note, there's no magic formala to work of... more...

Boho-chic is in!
My first day at the fashion week was EXCITING, EXCITING, EXCITING!  Spotted a Cindy Crawford look-alike at the Surily Goel show.  When I looked closer it was none other than ex-VJ Kamal Sidhu looking AWESOME in a Surily creation, minus her signature ‘mass of curls’ hairdo.   She sported this very boho-chic kind of look, which I think complements he... more...

The countdown begins
At this very moment Rocky S is probably putting the final touches to his new autum-winter collection, which will be showcased on the ramp at 2 pm, exactly 20 minutes from now. Hottie John Abraham is deemed to walk the ramp, donning Rocky S' clothes.Journalists and international buyers are jostling outside the grand Jamshed Baba auditorium (at the N... more...

Laaga Yashraj Ka Daag
[Originally published on PASSIONFORCINEMA.COM]Even the little droplets of hope that one had left after watching the decidedly bizarre promos of Laaga Chunari Main Daag are mercilessly dashed to the ground. The Yashraj stamp (or rather, stain) is so ostentatious and evident in Pradeep Sarkar"s second film that no amount of Surf Excel- or even Lux, w...  more...

Effort
There is a little story...that teaches a lot... A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young boy. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went ...  more...
