Convert This
Spotted Neha carrying her Fendi ‘To You’ Convertible bag again, this time using it as a clutch without the handle.
In theory, the idea of a convertible is great but you know our feelings about anything that has too much logo. (Its a four letter word and its not LOVE!)

Q&A Wednesday With Anand Kabra
Here’s a quick Q&A with designer Anand Kabra…
1. As a designer, what inspires you? Have a muse?
Design is the medium I use to express myself. The collections are almost autobiographical…It is a story I tell which comes from a very personal space and it normally is what I sense, see and absorb from what’s going on around me. It could be a mood, art, cinema, anything that catches my eye and moves me.
My muse is a strong successful independent woman who has a mind of her own and has mastered the art of balancing all the roles she is expected to play without loosing her sense of self.
2. What is the core aesthetic that you aim for in your clothes?
Right now it is intelligent design, which stands for quality and luxury.
5. How do you feel about more and more celebrities choosing to wear International labels at various award functions and other public events? As a designer do you feel our homespun designers aren’t getting their due?
To each their own. Its cyclic… right now there is a need to flaunt international names and soon there will be a novelty in wearing Indian designers…That’s what fashion is all about….It doesn’t bother me.
6. How important are celebrity show-stoppers at fashion weeks? Do they bring welcome attention to a designer or only deflect serious attention from the business of fashion?
I can only speak for myself and I definitely do not believe in celebrity show stoppers. I personally feel that it does take away from the clothes and the seriousness of the business. I rather be remembered for what I put on the ramp rather than whom I put on it!
7. Five essentials that should take us through the seasons this year?
Well fitted jeans, White blouse or shirt, Good pair of stilettos, A little black dress and A traditional hand woven sari.
10. And finally…
a. One word that describes you? Hyper b. A trend you wish would go away? c. A trend you can’t get enough of? d. Shoes or bags? e. If you weren’t a designer, you would be? f. One thing Anand Kabra cannot live without? |

Just A Sherwani? Not This One!
First it was the Forty-lakh sari, then came the Ten-lakh lehenga, and here to trump them both is the One crore (yes you read that right!) sherwani.
Reshma and Riyaz Gangji of Libas Stores created a one-crore sherwani for a client based in Dubai and what makes it worth more is that it has diamonds in it. Too bad we don’t have a clearer picture to examine the details (of the sherwani!).
As for requesting another to be created, unless and until a certain Mr. Soman hand delivers it personally… and stays, we aren’t gonna be bringing out that cheque-book any time soon! 😛
Read the original story here via Times Of India.
