Seeing “I Am” director Onir in a Che Guevara print Dev R Nil jacket at Melbourne did take us by surprise. Who knew the man had a predilection for fashion?

Is it the Anita Dongre effect? The man was, after all, seen at her show this past fashion week. (We think having been at the Fashion Week, he might have caught the designer bug! )

You can catch a motorcycle print one on Arunoday Singh Here.

Spotted Arunoday Singh ( you’ll remember him from Aisha) wearing a Dev R Nil jacket from the designer duo’s Iconic Rider collection inspired by the journey of Che Guevara.

For the actual photoshoot, you’ll have to pick up this month’s Grazia featuring Deepika.

For the past several years, designer Ritu Kumar has been dressing up Miss Indias for the National Costume round but this year (post Sushmita Sen taking over the selection process for Miss India Universe), the costume has gone a different route. A very different route.

Ushoshi’s gown this year was designed by Kolkata based designers Dev R Nil who on suggestion from Ushoshi dropped the traditional sari/lehenga idea and created this piece inspired by the national bird: the peacock.

Yes, it is quite drastic and may find very less takers but I don’t think I could take yet another cutout-choli design from Ms. Kumar! As for the gown itself, it is too in-your-face-peacock. Here’s hoping over the years, we get better!

What’s your verdict on the design? Love it or hate it?

P.S. Catch Ms. Sri Lanka in a more toned down blue costume inside.

P.P.S. ‘apurva’ reminds us that the design seems eerily similar to the Marchesa Spring 2010. An homage to Marchesa (or McQueen) or badly executed (or well executed depending on who you ask) inspired gown.

Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter first made her appearance on the ramp for designers Dev R Nil during the Lakme Fashion Week. Past weekend she took to the ramp again for an event for the World Gold Council wearing a Raakesh Agarvwal strapless gold gown.

The ramp she looked better on was?

Update: Sonakshi is not a full-time model.
