Bips’ Boot(ies) Call
Although we loved Bip’s in her black booties at the Vogue Brunch, we are definitely not a fan of these red booties that she wore to a Filmfare event! Wassup with Bipasha and this red obsession!

John Galliano designed 12 limited edition Dior Saddle Bags, those inspired by Mexico, China, Russia among others! But what interests us, is of course the ‘India’ saddle bag!
The nudge at an old-world elaborate nose-ring isn’t lost on anyone and while a little garish ,and I do wonder why most Indian inspired things are, its fun!
John Galliano in honour of his 10th anniversary at the house, designed 12 saddle bags, each paying tribute to the 12 countries that have inspired him during his time with Dior! While a little loud and over the top, they are still being touted as good investment pieces!
Of course the news of these bags is trifle old but the reason I write is, I saw a lady at the Delhi airport carrying a bag that looked remarkably like the saddle but very, very Indianised and when I went up to her and asked if it was Dior, she said “Nahin ji, GK se liya hai”! (No, I got it from GK)(*GK, a marketplace in Delhi) 🙂 And ‘that’ turned to ‘this’ post!
On an aside, I just got into India! And in true High Heel spirit the first thing I did was to buy Vogue India at the airport! (Family has mentioned therapy but we are working on it!)
Here’s Shilpa Shetty in Paris, at the unveiling of the Dom Pérignon Oenotheque 1993, dressed in a Tarun Tahiliani dress.
I can’t say much except the fact that I absolutely hate the dress. Its so tacky. And the same old jewelled accent that Tahiliani has been doing for ages now. You think he’ll ever get over it?
I think Gauri and Nainika did such a wonderful job with the dress that Bipasha wore for the Vogue India launch party! It is Grecian, retro, geometrical and totally works for Bipasha! On the right, is the similar dress they did for their Spring 2008 collection during Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.
On the left, the picture is of Priya Tanna, the editor of Vogue India, at the Vogue India launch party. I love the color of the dress, but if the said dress is actually working for her, now, thats a verdict you’ll have to make! Am not sure who made her dress but it is remarkably similar to the dress that Elisha W did for her Spring 2008 collection during Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.
