Anand Kabra’s collection was rich in various wearable seperates, be it sharply tailored jackets, fluid/flowy skirts, saris or draped tops. Our favorites had to be the minimal, sharply tailored clothes in grey as well as the ones in the tribal print. The latter almost had a vintage DvF vibe.

There is one thing to be said about Ms. Rao. You’ll never find her stuck-in-a-designer-rut. One to always sport something different, Kiran didn’t disappoint at Imran and Avantika’s wedding wearing an Anand Kabra sari.
Unfortunately, the sari that looked wonderful on the runway didn’t quite look the same off it and the ill-fitted sleeves are primarily to blame. They ended up making the overall look rather sloppy. Hiding the vest under the sari also didn’t help.
Fitted sleeves with the hair pulled back to show of the high-neck blouse and we might have liked the look.

Trisha makes her Bollywood debut tommorow opposite Akshay Kumar in ‘Khatta Meetha’. The south star who has featured in a lot of Tamil and Telugu movies was featured in South Scope magazine styled by designer Chaitanya Rao.
While, I love the pieces Chaitanya chose for Trisha, am so horribly disappointed to see the beautiful Anand Kabra sari paired with jeans (see inside). Don’t get me wrong, I love fusion, but this is sacrilege! (Ok ok, am overreacting, but the sari is just so purrrrty.)
Oddly enough, I also couldn’t help but remember Shilpa’s Cine Blitz cover on seeing the last pic of Trisha wearing the Chaitanya Rao ensemble (see inside).

Consider yourself warned, we are going to be effusive with this collection. Loved every bit of it.
Minis, jumpsuits, skirts, kaftans, trousers, jackets… all separates were tailored, structured and yet, easy. Resort anyone? Also, the clever use of embellishment and asymmetry won us over.
My favorite had to be the pre-stitched saris with the long cholis/blouses. Who says an updated sari has to be blinged out paired with an itty-bitty blouse? The saris on Kabra runway packed a heavy punch. Perfect and so very sensual.
My Mastercard is itching to be taken for a ride.
