While other designers were busy designing bridal wear, Shobha De obviously had to do something different. She decided to do a collection based on the most popular festival celebrated all over the world. Christmas. Her new saree collection, called the Snowflakes Collection is a glamorous line inspired by the spirit and colors of Christmas and of course, the snowflake.

I must say, I am quite impressed by this collection. Unlike the previous collection, which was mostly consisted of printed saris, this collection with all the embroidery seems a much more interesting and gives Shobha De more credibility as a designer!

To see more of her collection, go here.

At an event for Nakshatra diamonds, we spotted Aishwarya wearing a sari but tied differently. Making us wonder now if Shaina NC had anything to do with it?

Could there be a tie-up involving a designer and there be no fashion show. Of course not! And so, Rohit Bal had a fashion show to showcase the new designs inspired by the designs he created for the ABN AMRO credit card. And who better to showcase these designs better than friends! I am loving the black and silver theme except on the saris. As you can see, for a big busted woman, the silver blouse ain’t flattering at all!

Satya Paul Inspiration III Collection

Satya Paul’s third installment of his Inspirational collection was showcased this month. The collection is inspired by the works of Magritte and Picasso.

I particularly liked this sari with the print of a rose labeled “This is not a rose”. The sari makes the obvious reference to Magritte’s famous image, The Treachery of Images, that features a pipe with a label “I am not a pipe”.

To see more of the collection, go here. You can also shop online for Satya Paul sarees here.

Not So Dreamy

With so many fabulous choices out there, am not sure why “Dream girl” Hema Malini wears this sari again and again.

Both mother and daughter seem to be wearing such dowdy oufits off late. Are they saving up money for Esha’s wedding dowry? I wonder!
