Wearing a semi-lined Label Ritu Kumar dress, Kajal helped launch/inaugurate a restaurant in Hyderabad recently. Dior earrings and a pair of black sandals were her accessories of choice. Though the actor wears her look well, the dress, well it wasn’t quite our cup of tea.

While many of us are still struggling with the February Already syndrome, India’s first fashion week of the year has come and gone. Held at Mumbai’s JioGarden from February 1- 5, Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2017 transported me to a mostly Mai Tai state of mind. I say mostly because sometimes I found myself in a sangeet.
Anyway, a little over a week later and here are the seven things that I still find myself thinking about…
1. You Go Gen Next!
Starring a bunch of talented designers, LFW’s Gen Next Show kickstarts each edition. Some of these debutants go on to launch super successful labels, others win coveted awards and a few manage to do both. Two labels that caught my eye this season were Soumodeep Dutta for his unmistakable Bengal school of fashion vibe and Poochki for their billowing breezy separates.

2. The Exploding Galaxy
Not the Samsung phones but just the ridiculous number of stars that descend down on one fashion week. (The ridiculous number of fashion weeks is a whole other column). Sushmita Sen, Bipasha Basu, Tabu, Diana Penty, Malaika Arora Khan, Daisy Shah, Padma Lakshmi. Sophie Choudry, Vaani Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, Nimrat Kaur, Preity Zinta, Swara Bhaskar, Ayesha Takia… Showstopper. Overkill.

3. I Need Some AM.IT In My Life
Patola fused into plastic in AM.IT by Amit Aggarwal’s collection aptly titled Seamless. His pieces occupy the top 10 spots in my wishlist. Discarded saris, signature metallics and green means (and end) of fashion, this collection makes the right noises and looks equally fabulous. Now if only I can pre-order one of those dramatic pieces. And then find an OMG enough place to wear it to.

4. DeBo IS A Thing
Thanks to my blogger friends Priyanka and Payal who very helpfully coined the acronym DeBo (Desi Bohemian ICYMI), I am now convinced more than ever that DeBo is legit. Especially since nothing else seems to describe some looks from Label Ritu Kumar’s Maharaja Pop.

With Lakme Fashion Week concluding last Sunday, we were bound to see some fresh off the runway looks pretty soon and giving us our first one was Ms. Bhatt at the launch of the Tamma Tamma reboot wearing Label Ritu Kumar.
The actor wore a black lace top and gold pleated maxi skit with black sandals and sported her hair in soft curls. The song may have been from the 90s but there was a 70s vibe to her look that I liked. Did you?

For latest round of movie promotions, Huma picked a Label Ritu Kumar dress. Silver jewelry that included an Amrapali ring and pair of metallic sandals rounded out the actor’s look.
As much as I like the easy vibe, and even the color on Huma, not a big fan of the dress itself… It looked like it was made for an off-duty appearance. The outing left us underwhelmed.
