Front-Row, Tadka Laga Ke.

High Heel Confidential

In Kiran Uttam Ghosh

October 30th, 2009 at 12:17 am . by Payal

Inspired by the drape style of women in East India, who tie their keys to the sari pallu and put it over their shoulder, designer Kiran Uttam Ghosh created this long kurta piece where the lengthened front goes over the shoulder. On the runway, the outfit doesn’t seem so bad although I doubt in real life anyone would pull it off and that is probably why Tisca chose to drape the extra length over her hand. Except, instead of it looking better, it just looked worse. Much worse. A ‘WTHeyyy’ if you ask us.

    Call me crazy or unconventional, but I love the draping treatment atleast the way its done on Carol!
    Its totally fab. The starlet kinda made it awkward with her own interpretation…. I love designer’s creation.

    Its great twist to the normal kurti. Oh Imagine it in an Ombre avatar.. it’ll look fabulous.

    this style looks really stupid. like you are lifting your skirt /sari up. lol

      Exactly my thoughts…we already have a sari if you want that drape over the shoulder…why fuse that look into a kurta or even a dress for that matter?

    I wanted to give this one to Tisca based on the second pic but then saw the third one and it looks just plain bad. Ramp version (who I thought was Carol Gracias at first glimpse) looks alright from the front pose but not sure what I would make of it if I saw it from the side like Tisca’s third pic.

    I bet you Nina Manuel could carry this look with elan! Its a bit odd, so it needs the right person to get away with it………

    the lengthened front of the kurta looks realllly bad and extremely odd..especially in the third pic. i just feel like chopping it lol. I guess innovation is not always a good thing.

  8. Kashmira says:

    This is so silly!

  9. KK says:

    It’s a dupatta and a kurti in one!!! I like the way the model has it on. Tisca’s pose in her 2nd picture makes her look pregnant!

    i like. its unusual
    tisca is looking fab

  11. Rakhi says:

    Even the style worn by Carol would also look weird in the same pose :)

  12. divi says:

    On the ramp this looks more like the style of the kurta rather than an extra piece of cloth.

    On Tisca this looks plain out of place and silly,

  13. Arati says:

    I didnt like the style and the dresses in general are very ordinary.

  14. Gal says:

    The outfit makes Tisca look preggy and huge in her second pic!!

  15. shonali says:

    tisca looks like she’s about to lift up her kurta. it’s an interesting idea however it doesn’t look elegant at all in real life.

  16. Z says:

    and what about those awful shoes!

  17. pri says:

    omg she looks like madhuri in her side profile. yay for her!

  18. Nick says:

    whacky but she looks gorgeous…. but the 3rd pic (beware) makes her look pregnant if you see her mid section.
