It’s Giveaway Time!
Congratulations “Rohit Narvekar” and “D’Cunha”. You’ll be hearing from us soon!
—————————————————————————
Here’s your chance India to snag a copy of the Powder Room by Shefalee Vasudev! Shefalee offers an insider’s view of people who make the fashion industry what it is in India– from a lower-middle-class girl who sells global luxury for a living, to a designer who fights the inner demons of childhood sexual abuse yet managing to survive and thrive in the business of fashion, or a Ludhiana housewife on a perpetual fashion high.
“Shefalee shines the light on many of fashions secrets with this insightful, upbeat and gripping portrait of the Indian fashion industry. From the catwalks to the Luxury influx, from the inside politics to the deserving few, if you are curious about Indian fashion, this is the book to read.” – Suneet Varma
“What I learnt in two days twirling through the unputdownable Powder Room, I did not learn in twenty-five years in Indian fashion. Told with journalistic precision through the lives of fashion’s ‘beautiful’ folk, here is the glory and the underbelly, the neurosis and the sanity, the myth and the truth. I realise that being an insider, one of the players in fashion, in reality, it took Shefalee Vasudev to shows up the inner workings of a fascinating fish bowl.” – Wendell Rodricks

time to get up, take charge and free ownself..
would absolutely love to read this book 🙂
This book is gonna be a quick summary of all the happenings to uplift our thoughts for the “real industry”
It’s you guys who got me hooked to fashion on a daily basis, so it would have been awesome getting this book from you. However, since NRIs have been brutally lopped off (no fair, P & P!), I don’t qualify. Can’t we leave an India address to mail the book to and enter that way? 🙁
wonder what dark secrets this book will reveal, will it be more dramatic than the movie Fashion? looking forward to it 🙂
I love browsing through hhc, given me a lot of tips on dressing and accessorizing
The world of fashion is dazzing to a small town girl with stars in the eye and big dreams. Reality is, with the dazzle almost blinds and the stars shine down. However for the eternal optimist there is always hope. Having been “Andrea” to “Miranda” I know the love for all things fashion surpasses all and in this world everyone can make their dreams come true! Looking forward to reading this steely and incisive book by Shefalee Vasudev
Beauty can never be skin-deep.
Fashion is not just about clothes. It is a rather complex creative process. Only the end product is visible, which is always very beautiful. I’d really love to know what goes on behind the scenes.Powder Room provides us with a glimpse into the rather intriguing world of fashion and I’m excited to know more…
