Kalki sure wears this rather tricky jumpsuit well, or in any case, it photographed much better in the shoot than it did on the runway! Kalki herself looks great here!
P.S: If those shoes look familiar, its because Amrita Rao was seen in these same Tresmode sandals here!

First it was the puppets and now, its the dolls!
The May issue of Grazia India in addition to featuring a gorgeous Shilpa on the cover also had several designers create miniature outfits to be worn by dolls…

Namrata Joshipura’s collection had a palette that was somber and smokey, the only hit of color coming from a stray piece here and there. This collection too saw a heavy use of metallics but in a form that was softer and more subtle. The silhouettes went from being easy and free-flowing to form-fitting and structured. An easy elegance and understated glam is what the designer seemed to have been attempting to translate onto her collection.

Namrata Joshipura’s collection left me with mixed feelings. I can’t decide if overall, I like the collection or not! That doesn’t help much I know, but let me elaborate, and then you can make up your mind for yourselves!
I loved the sequence in white! Structured fits, clean lines! And those jackets were really nicely done with broad belts, waisted high, wide and deep necklines, and well detailed sleeves.. But then came the sequence of of metallic dresses, eclectic colors, butterfly dresses and sequins. Lots of sequins. I get the concept, but it was such a tired concept! I didn’t see anything fresh there..
The polka dots were fun, especially when used in jackets! It gave the quintessential-bomber-jacket-structure a lot more youthful and street-chic appeal! But then there were those dresses with flower motifs. With a shimmer here and there. Which just didn’t work…
So now you know, why I can’t make up my mind..
