GenNext Show: LFW Summer/Resort 2011


Focus shifted back to the Grand Hyatt Mumbai and the day started off with the GenNext show showcasing six labels. I’ll admit I wasn’t blown away by the presentations but keep in mind that most of the designers are just starting out and so it is the vision that counts.

Blank Spot By Shivaji Dutta
Using mustard as a base color and leather detailing to provide geometric shapes, Shivaji Dutta with his label Blank Spot wanted to remind us not to waste. There were skirts, shirts and even trousers given a second life as dresses. While the idea in itself was great, the big drawback of the collection was the base color. It wasn’t appealing.

DeuxA by Anna-Liza Ganguly and Anita Walia
Anna Liza and Anita maybe new to LFW but the duo who operate in Paris are not quite newcomers. Their label “deuxA” (get it?) presented “Samo Was Here” that used prints by American artist Jean Michel Basquiat as a backdrop accentuated by power shoulders. The beige vest and the final maxi paired with the deuxA logo neckpiece were the two that stood out.

Sari Style: Part Deux


The sari is vibrant as is the yellow blouse so why does this look still feel so meh. I blame the middle parted hair. You?

In Anamika Khanna


Sonam did a 180 from her menswear look from last night not only by going traditional in a red Anamika Khanna suit but also with the styling, pairing the suit with just a pair of drop earrings.

Not only do I love the look, I love her for constantly changing it up.

Sari Style


In a sari very similar in pattern to the one donned at the National Awards, Aishwarya graced the 2nd World Kannada Convention in Belgaum.

I wish there were bigger pics because from what I see, I like.

In Sabyasachi


Sona took in the Sabyasachi show in an outfit by the designer. I love her make-up/hair, pairing of the tunic with tights and oxfords but I can’t bring myself to like the lame patchwork tunic. It probably looked better in person but with all the camera flashes comes of looking bad.
