Vogue August (Un)Covered

The Vogue India August Issue is dedicated to the TV stars of India, Shweta Salve and others. (I would love it if you can help me identify them because I don’t watch soap operas!) But, I am so disappointed with Vogue India!

We have hotties like Nina Manuel and Candice Pinto, who very well deserve a cover of their own and Vogue goes and features some TV soap opera starlets like these on the covers in what seems like Manish (yawn) Malhotra outfits…

Ms. Priya Tanna, if you are listening, this is not what I want my “Vogue India” to be! (How can we get you to think outside of the box! The Idiot box for now, at least!)

P.S. I already spot the Christian Louboutin Noeud Sandals on the person on the top right as we have already seen on Ms. Malaika Arora Khan.

Edit: Here is the inside flap of the cover…

L To R: Gauri Pradhan, Tina Parakh, Resshmi Ghosh, Gautami Kapoor

Dita On L’Officiel India

The latest cover of L’Officiel India has Dita Von Teese on the cover wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf and a Suneet Verma lehenga skirt.The spread was shot by photographer Fabio Chizzola in New York City and has Dita wearing even a sari and carrying several Louis Vuitton clutches.

Here is what Dita and Ami have to say about this collaboration:

“I was thrilled to be photographed for the cover of L’Official India! I have been fascinated by the beauty of feminine attire of India, so to wear a combination of mainstream modern fashion and elegant classic traditional dress for L’Official India was a wonderful experience for me.”
– Dita Von Teese

“The elite L’Officiel readers have simply loved the cover, Dita is both a fashion icon and a stunning model, and to see her in carrying of traditional Indian couture was a big treat for all her fans world wide.”
– Ami Patel, Fashion Director, L’Officiel India

What do you think of the spread?

More pictures from the shoot are inside. Don’t miss her in the same LV blue gown as worn by Kareena for her shoot at Chiswick House.

The girls behind ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Vivaah’ were no where in sight when Sonam and Amrita were roped in to their respective covers… Sonam played up the urban fashionista with elan, straight hair and all, while Amrita turned up the Fahrenheit in Ferragamo like never before… we like!

P.S Amrita is wearing the Ferragamo gown backwards, in case you were wondering why it looks different…

It seems to be raining Shantanu & Nikhil and Gauri & Nainika. We have seen Shantanu & Nikhil on so many people lately and we already have seen another gown of Gauri & Nainika featured on Preity in Filmfare and now both their designs are showcased again on Priyanka in the July edition of Femina along with some chunky Burberry bangles.

What do you think of her styling?
