Sari Style- Part Deux
Like most other attendees, Natasha chose to wear Vikram Phadnis as well while at the designer’s anniversary celebrations. Diamond jewelry and an Alexander McQueen clutch were her accessories of choice.
Look, truth be told, if she’s selling, we are buying. But this look, not even Ms. Poonawala can make a case for. No. Just, no!

These outfits just go to prove what a terrible designer Vikram Phadnis is!! What a tackfest…
+1000 – this is the least bad outfit!!!
So true! But what’s more mind boggling than Mrs Poonawala’s choice is how amazing her body looks considering she was pregnant like a month ago! :O Props for that!
Exactly, after seeing all these outfits I only understood one thing, that Vikram Phadnis is one of the worst designers in India surviving from the past 25 years. ;
I guess he’s just giving people what they want….which opens up another box:
It really saddens me that despite India’s great design talent and diversity of stunning textiles, people still prefer these sorts of traditional wear – generic, unnecessarily revealing, made of poor material, stylistically derivative, and ultimately un-sexy.
I’d personally love to see Ms Poonawala in a stunning Parsee embroidered sari worn with her signature take on things. Traditional textiles can still be interpreted in a modern way…I mean, look at what Ankur and Priyanka of AM:PM, or Gaurang Shah of Gaurang, or Sanjay Garg of Raw Mango are doing!
+1000
Again what is happening to public taste and sense of aesthetic! Can we hope for a revival?
+1
I think these outfits – pretty much ALL – just made a case against Vikram Phadnis! Terrible, tacky outfits!
This “sari” is a disgrace to an actual sari and the blouse is even worse.
wait..didnt she JUST have a baby? sigh…
Forget everything , check out that ring on her left hand . That is one huge rock !!
Terrible clothes by Phadnis 🙁
& Natasha, Isn’t she pregnant like just two months ago. How did she manage to have such figure so quickly.
I was looking at the ugly saree till i caught sight of the ugly ring.
This would be a fabulous sari to wear to a Halloween themed Indian party! She looks fab!
No for me!
Her diamond ring is sooo huge and enormous!
That ring!!
Le sigh
Agree with the verdict that Phadnis designs are the pits. This blouse must come with a tutorial on how to wear. And what a generic sari. Can’t fathom the designer bit here!
Am very surprised that a fashion blog has given so much attention to this travesty of a ‘designer’ mr Phadnis?!
Why has his show been covered so extensively on your site when quite clearly each outfit is more horrid than the first. Can’t understand this.
