These two Jaya Mishra designs shown at the recently concluded Kolkata Fashion Week seemed to have borrowed heavily from past Chanel/Balmain/Alexander Wang collections.

Do you see what we see?

Celeb Spotting At Kolkata Fashion Week

It started with Giselli walking for Ritu Kumar and ended with Amrita Rao for Manish Malhotra but the most attention grabbing showstopper of KFW had to be Mandira Bedi who walked for Satya Paul. Shock value was what Puneet Nanda (designer of Satya Paul) was goin for and shock they indeed do. Too bad the sari which was quite beautiful, didn’t get any attention. 😛

Catch the others inside.

Shoe Spotting

Last weekend Ms. D’Souza made an appearance on Farah’s chat show wearing a strapless maroon dress with Zanotti heels. I know the girl was trying for a more mature look but for me the curls were too much, the dress very ill-fitting and the shoes a complete mismatch for the look.

Fab In Fucshia?

I first saw these pictures and instantly loved the fucshia on Ms. Mukherjee. But, on a closer look, I think the design of the gown is quite weird. I don’t mind the side-tie but the length really bothers me and those shoes are way too chunky for this delicate piece. But, oh the color ‘almost’ makes up for it.

So close to Fab but still not there yet. For me, at least. What about for you?

Update: Ms. Mukherjee carried a Fendi satin clutch.
