Celeb Spotting At Kolkata Fashion Week
It started with Giselli walking for Ritu Kumar and ended with Amrita Rao for Manish Malhotra but the most attention grabbing showstopper of KFW had to be Mandira Bedi who walked for Satya Paul. Shock value was what Puneet Nanda (designer of Satya Paul) was goin for and shock they indeed do. Too bad the sari which was quite beautiful, didn’t get any attention. 😛

Isnt she Giselli Monteiro?
mandira was 222222222222…much:?
Mandira looks odd. I don’t know if it’s the blouse (or what there is of it) or her broad husky shoulders. Whatever it is-looks strange.
Hahhaa… agreed
Doesnt look like she is showing the clotth off.. but its morelike she’s showing her skin.. any ways the sari is complete bleh.. nothing special about it.
gosh.. mandira’s looks so cheap…..others okay..
Is Amrita Rao Manish Malhotra’s new muse? he’s been dressing her quite a lot recently…
Anway who is Giselle Monteiro? I thought the girl in the photo is Giselli Monteiro? Somebody correct me if i’m wrong please.
Our bad. Guess her name is Giselli. Corrected post.
I think Rimi sen looks the best! Others should just give it up and stay home.
I agree.. Rimi sen looks the best 🙂
minisha lamba looks quite cute…
yea I think she is the only one whoes clothes shows some designs others are either ordinary or Odd.
Mandira..a lil too much, I would say!Rimi looks good.
Funny how Giselli (although she’s not Indian) looks to me like she represents a classy Indian woman more than any of these other ladies. She wears her clothes well without trying too hard to be sexy. Mandira just needs to accept herself already. Amrita, pull up your skirt.
hehe … yeah!! all that skin showing just takes away from the look! Giselli carries it with true grace 🙂
Fun and observant comment above! lol
AGREED! Sometimes, I think desi woman (in particular) try sooo hard to look sexy, which of course makes it impossible to look sexy at all
sexiness comes from confidence, more than anything else
These kind of Fashion Weeks are an insult to the concept, purpose and tradition of Fashion Weeks and only three of the show-stoppers here are decent Neil, Giselli and Minishha. However, why these guys are show-stoppers in the first place, I don’t know..
This apart the fashion here is blasphemy in the name of Fashion. Go home and get a job guys.. and an education if you want to stick around and be taken seriously.
The concept and tradition of runway shows?? You mean burlesque?? 😉
I agree!
Do the clothes have so little appeal, that even a d- lister hamming it up on stage for a few $$$ and a bikini top, can shore up their value a notch?
As it is, most of the shows at these weeks are just excuses for some panting men waiting for a malfunction to occur, to get their kicks, that’s all…
This set of pictures is everything that’s wrong with Indian fashion and design…
Exactly!! couldn’t have put it in better words myself!!
though the actual craft they are trying to represent(the handlooms and the weaves )are amazing, but the way they are executed into clothes and shown here are very very bad!!!
Embarrassing!!
Giselli Amrita and Riya look beautiful… and mandira just horrible
I love Giselli,Rimi and sophia..
Rest looks wannabe… Iiks
i actually like mandira the most …although the saree that she is wearing is not great..her frame and the way she seems to carry it off makes her look hot!
LOVE Rimi Sen!! The worst are Neetu Chandra and Riya Sen.
shock value or not, the blouse should have fit better. This just makes it look like her boobs are hanging.
All I dont know what it is, i think the boyish haircut, the broad shoulders and the way she holds the pallu in the left hand (especially in the first pic), the chunky shoes, all together make her look trashy.
i agree Giselli looks elegant and adorable in that lehenga. Classy and sexy can go together people, just pull up your skirts, boobs, pallus, whatever’s falling down. Take a cue from Giselli and Rimi Sen.
Isn’t that Chitrangada Singh not Rituparna?
its rituparna alright. i’ve always felt she has a very masculine face…
i like the way sameera looks but her outfit is nothing to write home abt
Giselli all the way….she looks good without trying hard!
rimi looks amazing, and she is the only one who wears her clothes well (i.e. they fit properly and suit her body type).
what’s with movie actors (i refuse to say stars) walking the ramp? what happened to the good ol’ supermodel days? they divert the attention from the clothes (not that it is not good thing sometimes) AND totally defeat the purpose of a fashion show. if the clothes are good, they’ll speak for themselves. designers don’t need ridiculous movie actors walking (or trying to walk) the ramp for them!
Minisha Kamba and Rimi Sen look good, others…what the heyy!?
the anita dongre sari on rimi sen is wonderful. mandira’s coming off looking really cheap – quite an achievement that.
isnt it just? i fell for it too.
i believe mandira’s blouse could be tucked up better at neck to let the blouse actually solve it’s purpose 😛
more than shocking, it actually looks i’ll-fitted.as if it was made for a more busty/tall woman.
Mandira is a sure wtheyy here. Even Riya & Neetu Chandra look bad & trying too hard.
Love Rimi, Gieselle, Minisha Lamba, Sophie,Amrita……..all look good.
Rituparna is neither here nor there. Hate her hair!!
Also, HELLO did someone loose a ton of weight (Ms. Reddy)? She’s so gorgeous, even in Neeta Lulla
Those Satya Paul saris are gorgeous – I checked on the website and they’re not available yet. By the way has anyone tried ordering from them before? Is it ‘safe’?
satya appalled! what have mandira and the once revered satya paul aesthetic come to? cheap sensationalism in the name of fashion!
How gorgeous is Sameera’s lehenga!! To die for!! and Giselli looks like a pari though wish her lehenga was a bit lengthier!! I dont even want to look at Mandira…yuck!
where mandira is concernd, Old age can make you do funny things to get validation!!
the first model is sooooooo beautyful
Love Giselli and Mini-lovely outfits, they look elegant. Minisha and Sameera also look OK. All other folks/outfits look horrendous/tacky/cheap. As for Mandira-what was Puneet Nanda thinking? Her boobs are hanging in such an awful manner!!! 🙁
amrita is luking sooo gud
