Just when we were about to post Bipasha’s editorial from Verve’s April edition, here comes Lara on Marie Claire wearing the same Gucci Spring 2010 dress seen on Bips. We think both women do justice to the dress equally in their looks going by these scanned images. What say you?

You can catch Bipasha on the Verve April cover in Gucci inside.

Lecoanet And Hemant: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

Yes, yes, yes, this is a bit late in coming but better late then never, no? 😉

Didier Lecoanet and Hemant Sagar presented a collection titled ‘Green’ during Lakme Fashion Week, which focussed on ethical fashion, and used fabrics like cotton, handloom silk and poplin in a color palette that was mostly dominated by rusts, greens, creams, beiges and black.

The collection was extensive… an almost exhausting range of bleached denims, jackets, trousers, skirts and shifts, not to mention menswear as well. But we couldn’t help but feel it was a tad repetitive and uninspired. There’s only that many shifts that can excite you. After a point it was a blur of clothes walking by. The womenswear part of the collection seemed all over the place and not too cohesive despite it’s binding “organic” theme.

I’d be remiss though if I didn’t mention the menswear part of the collection. There were some standout pieces that looked really promising.

Paromita Banerjee: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

It was a collection with components that we are all familiar with… the colors, the prints, the fabrics and yet interpreted in a whole fresh way. Paromita Banerjee’s collection called “The Laal Paar and Other Stories” was an ode to the Indian handlooms and drew it’s inspiration from the Bengali “Laal Paar” which is the traditional red bordered sari.

While I wasn’t particularly fond of the wrap jackets and kurtas which seemed much too busy with the colors, prints and silhouette in question all thrown into the mix, I do recognize it’s more my personal taste speaking that anything else. The clothes were summer perfect and bohemian with a healthy dose of desi.

What I absolutely loved, loved about the collection were the pieces that were minimal and played with the ‘red border’ interpretation.

Lisa Haydon covers Elle India’s May edition in a Shrivan Narresh swimsuit seen first on the Kingfisher calendar on Anjali and later in a variation on Nethra in The Man magazine. Seeing all these sexy ladies is making me regret having that extra (and another extra) piece of bread at lunch. 😛

Catch our more of Shrivan Narresh from LFW here.
