Color Blocked

Sonali gave us two colorblocked looks on day 3 of Lakme Fashion Week. Earlier in the evening, she was spotted in a strapless black/white Siddartha Tytler dress paired with a black Bottega Veneta knot clutch and Choo sandals.

For the last show of the evening (Shantanu-Nikhil’s), she quickly changed into a Shantanu-Nikhil one pairing the dress with a python McQueen skull clutch and beige pumps.

Which color blocked look do you prefer?

Manish Malhotra: LFW Summer Resort 2011

It feels like Mr. Malhotra heard all of us because for his Resort collection, he really dialed down the bling factor. Having adopted 45 girls from the Mijwan village for their craftsmanship in chikankari work, Manish used their handiwork in his latest collection which besides chikankari also employed kashmiri embroidery too.

The show started with menswear that showcased simple embroidered kurtas paired with slim trousers and jodhpur pants.


The women’s collection was, of course, a lot more elaborate. Manish presented his trademark lehengas and kalidar anarkalis that were again rich in chikankari and kashmiri embroidery. The gota work was not as dominant as it was in his past collections which in fact worked to this one’s advantage. Each outfit had just the right amount of glam factor and traditional work. What the designer didn’t stray from though were his trademark patchwork lehenga (see inside) and sheer anarkalis.

It’s been a while since we’ve felt excited about a Manish collection but this latest one just changed that. I applaud him for taking a step back and integrating a lot more of traditional work into his designs. It goes a long way in reviving the old arts.

In Rajat Tangri

Minissha took in Rajat Tangri‘s show wearing a dress that also seemed like it was from the latest collection. On most occasions, the looks that she gives us feel lackluster but I can’t fault anything with this one.

Girlfriend looks good!

Bag Spotting

Sridevi attended designer Babita Malkani’s show in denims paired with a Roberto Cavalli ruffled grey shirt and a matching grey Louis Vuitton bag.

I think she looked great even though am not a fan of the bag. Do not like the glitzy bottom part and the contrast handle.

Arpan Vohra, Myoho and Preeti S Kapoor: LFW Summer/Resort 2011

Arpan Vohra
Sail Away was the theme of Arpan Vohra‘s resort collection and the nautical theme was evident throughout mainly with the rope embellishment that was featured in most pieces. The color palette was mostly white with a bit of blue and red thrown in. Instead of dressing Ria (his showstopper) in the white mini, the designer may have made more of an impact having her wear one of the more colorful numbers that were far more appealing.
