What’s In A Name?

We’ve seen plenty of design houses draw inspiration for their collections from India, nothing new about that… But it’s been quite a trend recently to name products after Indian names which don’t really have an immediate coherent connection/co-relation and that often has us shaking our heads in amusement.

Take a look at these La Perla pieces… interesting eh?

We thought it couldn’t get worse than those pair of chappal sandals. Apparently, it can! We’d any day prefer Ekta dress like the women in her soaps over having to see her like this. But, doubt that’s ever going to happen. 😛 Until then, we’ll just keep hoping for a divine intervention.

The Pink Ladies

I’ll admit, pink (to clarify baby/light pink) is not my favorite color (and I have probably repeated this time and again), which is probably why I am not drawn to either of these two ladies’ looks. But, if I really really had to pick one, I would have to go with Shamita’s. The brown belt works much better on the pink rather than the grey shiny one.

Coming to Asin, not only she has that shade of pink that I despise, the outfit also has my next least favorite thing on it. Rhinestone-y embellishment. H.A.T.E It.

A fun floral print with edgy lattice sandals. I should like this look instantly but somehow it still is falling flat for me. Me thinks it’s those black straps that aren’t working for the dress and the look. What say you?

Wonder if Kristin’s appearance in the upcoming “Sex and The City” sequel in a Roberto Cavalli chain print gown has anything to do with the recent spurt of the same print being seen on ladies at Delhi dos. It’s either that or there was a sale somewhere that we missed out on. 😉
