The Wes Anderson movie, Darjeeling Limited has been panned in its reviews but thats not the point, is it? The point you ask? But of course, the Louis Vuitton luggage. The movie revolves around three brothers’ journey through India carrying their dead father’s luggage! Louis Vuitton luggage that is. Designed by Jacobs for Vuitton using aged calfskin, velvet lining and a special jungle pattern (the pattern created by Anderson’s brother)!

The luggage was on display at the New York LV store for a limited time and was auctioned off, the proceeds of which went onto benefit UNICEF and the Rawal Mallinathji Foundation, a medical treatment charity in India!

Smell That?

Sometime ago, in one of the comments on this blog, we were asked to review perfumes but we never did get around to doing it (yet, yet!) but then to my surprise I came across this and absolutely had to post it! The perfume in question? Its Yu from Mane that retails for a mere $5000!! No, thats no typo, there really are three zeroes following that Five!

Apparantly, Yu means ‘rain’ in Chinese and reviewers are calling it ‘aesthetically gorgeous’!! Only 500 bottles of the fragrance were produced and are currently on sale at Bergdorf Goodman.

But, five thousand dollars? Excuse me, while I gasp!

You can read more about it HERE.

Above, Kim Sharma walking the ramp for Nalanda Bhandari at the Lakme India Fashion Week, and below, Bipasha Basu at Narendra Kumar’s menswear show! Both had new hairdos, and similar to each other, sort of inspired by old school Bridgette Bardot?? Of course, they couldn’t hold a light to her, but what do you think? Kim Sharma looks like she is weaing an ill-fitting wig, it just doesn’t work! I don’t mind the look on Bipasha. But, once again, what do y’all think?

Bhagyashree who had long been forgotten (come on now, admit it!) surfaced as the Brand Ambassador for the Jewels of India 2007 Expo only to make us fervently wish she’d crawl back into the woodworks again! Announcing the Jewellery Exhibition to be held in Bangalore, at a Press Conn, the lady in question was stacked with enough gold to uplift an entire geographical location economically!

Yes, being the ‘Brand Ambassador’ for Jewels of India 2007 Expo, it is befitting of her to be resplendent in fine jewellery, but from head to toe in gold is rather tasteless don’t you think?

Whatever happened to the subtle, sophisticated, statement making, jewellery pieces? Who do we blame? The guileless celebrities, the over-zealous sponsors or the incompetent stylists?

Neha Dhupia though fared much better at the Press Meet organized in Chennai, to announce a Jewellery Exhibition there!

Spotted Preity Zinta at the Lakme India Fashion Week making an environmentally sound statement with her, ‘Say No to plastic bags”, bag and looking good while doing it! But it of course reminded me of the much sought after Anya Hindmarch bag…

Now thats a way to make an enviro-friendly statement while still looking très stylish: The Anya Hindmarch, I’m NOT a plastic bag!

Celebs like Lily Cole, Reese Witherspoon, Petra Nemocova and Kiera Knightly (clockwise:pictures below) have been spotted carrying the bag and the bag is completely sold out everywhere in the U.S, actually make that worldwide! But if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one, know that people have stood in lines around blocks to get their hands on one! Yessirie!

The bag retails at 15$ but having been completely sold out, are going for hundreds of dollars on ebay! Though I did find some on Amazon, though they are marked up at 40$ each! (Buy Via Amazon)

Who says fashion comes easy? Even when its for a good cause!!
