Oh My! I am all about wearing Indian outfits to International events. But, what I see here is really really hurting my eyes.
Can you guess who this “Lady in Red” is??
She was attending the Toronto International Film Festival too! Wow! Shakira must be really thin to make this sultry actress look totally fat!
Such a disappointing choice of Sari and jewellery.. tsk tsk…
P.S. The actress was at TIFF to present her Bengali Film Ami Yasin Arr Amar Madhubala (The Voyeurs).

Swapan and Seema’s collection was dominated by Indian clothes; saris, salwar-kameezes, lehengas and some dresses with Indian influences. Color pallette for the most part stayed muted and delicate but I loved the brown that they used…
The collection didn’t stray far from the tried and tested and was really safe. Saris were delicate and lehengas stayed fresh because they weren’t overworked! Some of the longer dresses were a surprise, they were simple and chic! And short day dresses were cute and young!
But like I said, the collection was very safe, and so, not much did stand out! This was yet another show that was way too safe and uninspired which is turning out to be a bit characteristic of quite a few shows I’ve been watching.

‘Rise and Shine’ was what Renu Tandon’s collection was called which was dominated by the colors of oranges, burnt orange/reds and beiges!
Saris and lehengas were defined by their intricate work and vibrant hues! The longer evening gowns were quite predictably garish, however, the short dresses really worked owing to their simplicity and to the work done on them which was edited down to just what was needed instead of being doled out in copious amounts! Another thing that stood out were the salwar-kameezes, the simpler ones seemed very easy to wear for day, and evening ones kept the embellishments to the minimum while still retaining the glam look!
Was interesting.

The collection put forth by Rabani and Rakha was exquisite and quite timeless. The color palette stayed dominated by creams, whites and beiges though they did have a sequence in black and another one with more metallic mauve’ish hues. My favorite in this collection had to be the saris. The intricate and often elaborate detailing and craftsmanship on those saris just pops at you. And the best part is, they are quite timeless in their appeal, so you know, when you buy something like this, its going to be around for a long, long time! Forget the saris, they even managed to pull of some long evening gowns with just the right amount of work, to give it, its healthy dose of chic! And that doesn’t happen everyday!

What happens when you throw pop-culture, drama, old-world-glam, new-world-modernism, and attitude into one melting pot? You get Prashant Verma’s collection, but of course!
The collection seemed fit for a starlet or a woman who walks into a room to own it! It had ‘Diva’ written all over it! The designs were bold, in your face and for no wallflower! It was innovative and kitschy at its best! I loved his play on classic lines of evening-wear!
I might not necessarily rush out to buy his clothes, but am sure as hell going to be enjoying them!
