Update: Correction, this was an AND dress.

Seems like we have ourselves a third sighting of the French Connection Sarah dress, this time worn by Vidya Malvade.

Vidya attended day one of LFW Festive 2010 pairing the red dress with black pumps, a black Chanel bag and a gold long necklace. I, for one, loved it.

P.S. Although the pumps have a red sole, don’t think they are Loubs. Never seen a Loub with glitter only on the platform.

Glove Love

Yet again Kangna changes it up by adding zing to her colorblock dress by way of gloves. While I love that she jazzed the look up with them, I so wish she had picked lace ones instead of the leather ones she has on. They seem too severe for the look.

Color Clash

A yellow Anita Dongre Grassroots frock with red Mary Janes, in theory, seems like a good idea but Mallika’s presentation of it doesn’t quite match up. I love the flared skirt but the barely there bustier and the severe ponytail isn’t gelling with the fun nature of what this look should be. It’s a thumbs down from us. What about for you?

P.S. Anyone else think Ms. Sherawat is chanelling a certain Ms. Arora?

It was grey and black dresses for both Tisca and Isha who attended designer Anita Dongre’s show on day one of LFW’s Festive Season.

Grey and black, for me, is a boring combination and I find it very dull. And, even though I prefer the lace detail (it provides some visual interest) on Tisca, the off-centre belt kills it for me. Isha keeps it simple, perhaps much too simple but I’ll pick her over Tisca.

Who do you prefer?

NYFW Spring 2011: Bibhu Mohapatra

More power to the Indian designers; may their tribe grow! 🙂

Bibhu’s recently shown collection was beautiful, feminine and essentially for that girly-girl.

After working with Halston and J.Mendel, Bibhu Mohapatra started working on his own label creating custom couture evening gowns and cocktail dresses for select clientele. The F.I.T graduate has since established his own label and this was his second showing.

Evening-wear and cocktail dresses dominated the collection and my absolute favorite was the blue-and-black tulle gown (first row, extreme right). Can’t wait to spot it on a red carpet!
