Harper’s Sar(i)torial

The inaugural issue of Harpers Bazaar has a spread where top designers celebrate the six-yard wonder in their own way through sketches. In an article for MailToday, editor Sujata Assomull pairs some selected sketches with ladies who she thinks are best suited to a certain design based on “the way they wear the sari and not what saris they wear”.

I, for one, thought that the Dolce and Cavalli designs were hardly innovative. All they did was take their most common print and create a drape effect with it. Also, I really doubt Kareena would ever wear that Dolce creation! (But then, we’d love to feature her in a WTHeyyy and that is exactly where she will land up if she wears that. 😉 )

You can read the whole article here. (The file size is huge and may take a while to download but here is a screenshot of the article.)

Choo Spotting

Designer Anamika Khanna attended the Lakme Fashion Week 10th Anniversary Bash in her own creation, pairing her outfit with a pair of Jimmy Choo Glenys Sandals. This is the same woman who created the outfit worn by Twinkle recently at Amrita’s Sangeet. That outfit got more hate than love! How do you like this one on her?

P.S. I added the runway pic to just to reflect her Spring 2009 work.

P.P.S. She is also the one who designed all of Sonam’s outfits in ‘Delhi-6’ and Sonam wore her creations to both the ‘Drona’ Premiere and ‘Delhi-6’ premiere.

I wish we we had a full-length pic to see whether Adhuna wore the dress with pants, like on the runway, or did without. Am surprised she didn’t wear the long sleeves, considering we have seen her wear quirky stuff before! (Remember the applique dress at Farah’s bash?)

But, coming back to the dress. I so want! Badly!

Update: Turns out that she did wear them with pants and also is wearing a variation.

It is no surprise that we love the ‘Birkin’. Yes, it costs an arm and a leg (and much more), but, they also do say that ‘love is blind’, don’t they? 😉 Seems like the same holds true for Pria Kataria Puri, who was spotted with yet another ‘Birkin’, this time in a croc version.

Envious, are we? You bet!

Bag Spotting

Spotted on Mehr, the Dior Cannage in black paired with a printed strapless maxi. Now, the bag I like, infact, I have drooled many a times over the patent version of it. But, the maxi however does not evoke the same kind of emotions in me. It is way too busy with all that patchwork!
