Day two of Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2012 had Narendra Kumar Ahmed presenting his first ever bridal collection. Saif Ali Khan walked for the designer in a white suit which we think was because the show was sponsored by Sansui.

We’d have rather seen him don one of Narendra’s outfit from the collection.

Doing Black

Doing black at the CHOO 24:7 STYLEMAKERS event were both Sophie and Preity. Don’t mind Sophie but we felt really underwhelmed seeing Preity. Perhaps, it is time for us to set the bar low on expectations when it comes to her. At least, we wouldn’t constantly feel disappointed.

P.S. Sophie is wearing the Flaxely sandals and Preity is wearing the Baxen wedges with a Chandra clutch.

Marchesa, Spring 2013

We’d been waiting eagerly for the Spring 2013 Marchesa presentation ever since we saw their moodboard here that hinted at an Indian theme. The collection didn’t disappoint one bit. Dresses that used brocade fabric were left simple and free of embellishment and likewise heavily beaded dresses were kept simple at the fabric level. Subtle use of draping inspired by saris, separates resembling lehangas and churidaars-suit ensembles dominated.

We wouldn’t blame you for drawing parallels to the Chanel Pre-fall 2012 collection or for that matter Dior’s Fall 2009 collection, but we think Marchesa brought its own voice to the collection, one that we liked.

Ruffled

Mandira and Shazahn were spotted at the Choo event doing ruffle with the former by way of a shirt and the latter, a jacket.

Unfortunately, neither one’s look worked one bit. Mandira went wrong by picking leggings to go with the short shirt and Shazahn by opting for black shorts to go with her jacket.

We still have to ask, care for either?
