Also seen at the Lakme India Fashion Week was Minissha Lamba in those crazy, crazy boots, walking the ramp for Agnimitra Paul! Check out that woman in the background also giving those booties a once over!
Somewhere tonight, a Santa’s helper is sleeping barefoot.
And here’s just a peak into the mentioned collection:

On the left, thats Nandita Mahtani at the opening of Bollywood Mischief and on the right, there she is again, spotted at the Lakme India Fashion Week in the exactly same outfit, once more! While its heartening to see celebrities repeat their clothes too, but twice in less than a month, and when at events you know you will be photographed, it would’ve been nice to see her style it differently, no?

On an aside, also spotted her at the Gucci launch party in a great looking dress!
She is carrying the new Gucci clutch (Crystal evening bag with Swaroski detail, Fall/Winter) in black patent but I don’t care for it much. Those tassels just don’t work for me! But here it is in Gold, and if it appeals to you, go for it!
Buy Via Gucci

Spotted Manisha Koirala during the Lakme Fashion Week looking as she did and a double-take was but coming of course! Whatever happened to her? That ridiculous color in her hair, the neon’esque lip color and that ill, ill-fitting suit! Gawd! She tried to go à la Simi but didn’t quite work did it? They both even had the same white and gold Louis Vuittons but while one looked timeless, the other looked like a snow capped nightmare! Needless to say which was which am sure?

There is a good reason why Sabyasachi is called the Hermes of India by those in the fashion-know and this collection is just another affirmation of what we already believe: he has the makings of a great couturier, and well under way!
The colors were so rich, grounded, yet so luxe and vibrant! The color palette exploded with every hue and tone but never overwhelmed. The textures were stunning, there was velvet, brocade, chiffon, chenille, khadi and even cotton! Lovely!
I loved that he mentioned at the Press Conn, the fact that its time designers worked on consolidating and paying attention to the market in India because it is the Indian consumers that made designers like him and Tarun Tahiliani into super brands!
This collection was inspired by the India-Pakistan partition and by movies like Sardari Begum, 1947 Earth and, the colors by Mircha Masala. He had quwalis for soundtrack, calling it ethnic trance. You got to love that! The collection went back to the roots of Indian ethnic couture.
I can’t think of a single minus on this collection. This is the kind of piece a woman owns and passes on as an heirloom! It was masterfully crafted and skillfully executed and takes a man of certain skill and genius to do what he does every single time with Indian couture!
P.S: Rani was spotted at the show wearing an ensemble designed by Sabyasachi!
