Going A Notch Up On The ‘Subtle’ Scale

I hadn’t cared for Gauri’s Dolce and Gabbana outfit that she wore to the Vogue India launch party, not that I have anything against wild animal prints, just that this particular outfit seemed a bit much, and clearly did nothing for Ms. Khan.

And now, compare that look to what Gauri turned out in for Zee’s anniversary party! Totally loving it. Here too, the animal print made an appearance, but in no way for which I’d complain! That animal print clutch gives it just the right amount of edge. Great way to take a chic, and in this case, a ‘safe’ look and give it a bit of an edge, a racier punch…

That’s number two for Bips, who seems to influencing the styles of quite a few peeps these days! Another tit-bit about this Gauri and Nainika dress is that Clooney who was also at the film festival was impressed by it and told Pooja, “Wow, your gown looks beautiful!”

An Unrecognizable Gauri on Vogue!

What happened to her cheeks? She has either been photoshopped or this is the real Gauri(minus her make-up). I am putting my money on the photoshop factor! Magazines these days are notorious for photoshopping models!

Johnny Come Lately?

We first spotted Gauri Khan in a Dolce and Gabbana outfit. Avanti Birla too donned on a Dolce and Gabbana outfit. Both sported that same wide belted waist. And then, weeks and weeks later, we saw Aishwarya wearing an outfit that had the same wide belted accent on the waist!

The same quite happened with the anarkali look too! We saw everyone flaunting the look much before we saw Aishwarya emerge in it!

Do you think its an intentional,’am-no-slave-to-fashion-stance’ of hers, or she is just ‘fashionably clueless’? Based on her former faux pas, one tends to believe the latter!

A Grecian Ode

There were a lot of Grecian influences on the runways this season (in Spring/Summer 2008 collections) and the ‘Toga’ was most apparant. Why, the fashion doyenne herself, Priya Tanna, editor of Vogue India, was seen flaunting the silhouette in a Tarun Tahiliani created ensemble, few months ago at the Vogue India launch. (picture, above)

A Toga is essentially a loose flowing outer garment, which in the ancient times, was worn by Romans, usually, made of a single piece of cloth that covered the entire body leaving the right arm bare. And, most designers in their collections re-interpreted this flowing silhouette which really is a very flattering drape.

Here’s just a quick peek at different designers’, different takes…
