An Almost Ditto!

We don’t know if it was a coincidence or if Ms. Kapoor took inspiration from Ms. Parker, but because we don’t have full length pics of Sonam, can’t say for sure if Sonam did Sarah one better in the footwear department. (She sure did in the bag area.)

Sarah wore a Stella McCartney lace dress while Sonam wore an Ayesha Depala dress with an Helmut Lang jacket and a Ferragamo clutch.

Thanks to ‘pragya, star, chris and alisha’ for the SJP tip-off.

Sashikant Naidu, Asmita Marwa: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

The saris in Sashikant Naidu’s collection were beautiful. Soft, fluid and so feminine. The hand painted motifs in the kalamkari form on the more organic color palette of the line really stood out. The dresses weren’t as impressive as the saris barring a kaftan dress or two but the saris themselves more than made up for it.

Asmita Marwa, Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010

After having been blown away by Asmita’s previous collections, especially with her use of Kalamkari and more recently, the Telugu script in the previous collection, this particular one came as a colossal disappointment.

Sure, there were some very wearable separates but the collection got repetitive at one point. Asmita stuck to her signature look of easy flowing organic maxis, jumpsuits and separates but there really was nothing that stood out except for the jackets.

Lots of checks, rose appliques, tie-dye, colors like blues and reds juxtaposed with white made up Asmita Marwa’s boho resort collection titled, “Maya 0° 36’0”S/73° 6’0”E” which left us with a feeling of, “haven’t we seen this before?”.

Kallol Datta: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

After having been completely smitten by his last collection, we were definitely looking forward to Kallol Datta’s latest showing. And we weren’t disappointed.

It was what I expected… structured and yet anti-fit. Arresting and yet anti-glam. Dark but so fresh. Full of ironies.

I loved the prints that the designer used in this collection, a favorite being the The Suicide series (created in collaboration with artist Indraneil Ram Kamath). Must. Have. Now. Also interesting were the Prison Slate Series and the clothes with the Cat print.

Clever tailoring, impeccable finish and a fresh vision made this collection one of our favorites of the week.

On an aside, his showing was probably the only one with scores of people in the seats in his clothes from last season, clearly a sign he is doing something right?! 🙂

Dressed in an Ayesha Depala lace dress and a white vintage Helmut Lang jacket (per Sonam’s tweet) with a Ferragamo clutch (from our Oct 2008 Lust List), Sonam made an appearance at a Spice event where she was appointed as the new brand ambassador of the company.

Until we get full-length pics, catch some more of Ms. Kapoor Here.

While I may not be a fan of the dress itself, am loving the color on Dia. As for Mr. Warsi, is it really that hard to wear something presentable? Come on!
