Spotlight: Anupama

I recently found this line of home collection by Anupama Swaminadhan and it has the most beautiful line of cushions, fabrics, stoles etc..

The pillows are all hand-painted using vegetable and mineral dyes, and, ‘Kalamkari’ on those pillows looks so good… I especially love the more traditional design-form pieces and the ones with mythological narratives depicted on those fabrics. Because the execution is so modern even when the art-form itself is ancient and traditional, the result is quite contemporary and chic!

Gucci Hearts NY

100% of the proceeds from this limited edition ‘Gucci Loves NY bag’ go towards the Playground Partners of the Central Park Conservancy, aiding the maintenance and operation of the 21 children’s playgrounds in Central Park, NY.

While the cause is great, what do you all think of the bag? I personally think its a bit too campy and touristy, but hey who knows, perhaps in a few years it’ll be retro enough to be kitschy and cool?

Sometimes keeping it simple just works wonders. Look at Ayesha Dharker. At two events that happened in the past few weeks, she showed up in a simple dress and spruced the dress by wearing a chunky necklace!

Extra brownie points to Ms, Dharker for pairing her brown dress with a denim jacket!

Do we have a new bag lady among us? Can’t quite agree with Shweta Salve’s choice, that particular Gucci clutch is very ‘beh’ and that Fendi spy is sooo ‘has-been’..but, points for trying?

Urmila at a store launch came off looking like the ‘desi’ version of a Vegas showgirl- crystals, feathers, bling, et al! And Katrina, well, she looked like a leprechaun’s pot of gold exploded all over her!

In the FaceOff between bad and bad, Kaif fares a bit better but thats no real compliment either, is it? Who gets your vote?
