Shahrukh Khan Swings On Ramp With Manish Malhotra

Can the fashion lovers of Mumbai ask for anything more than Shahrukh ‘King’ Khan on the ramp confidently strutting in an exclusively designed Manish Malhotra creation and a unique arm sling for the ‘royal’ elbow which is healing.

The finale entry by super star Shahrukh Khan as he strode down the ramp for the Manish Malhotra show for Fall/Winter 2009 at Lakme Fashion Week brought the audience on their feet begging for more of ‘King’ Khan and his impromptu thank you speech interspersed with touches of humour that only Shahrukh Khan is capable of in his great inimitable style.

The celebrity lineup in the audience was awesome with Hritikh and Suzzane Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Kajol, Arjun and Mehr Rampal, Boney and Sreedevi, Malliaka Arora Khan and Arbaaz Khan, Priety Zinta and Tusshar Kapur cheering their friend Shahrukh Khan all the way.

One can always expect the unusual whenever Manish presents a show and this time the designer worked around the colours of the Kolkatta Knight Riders theme of black and gold and presented a stunning sports inspired evening wear line. Besides the base colour story of the Knight Riders, Manish added on touches of deep red, blue and green and wove them into garments that will work wonderfully after dark.

The women’s wear had fabulous black shaded lehengas with dazzling gold gotta and zari borders and teamed with hooded gold cholies all daringly cut. The western wear line had draped pants, gold jumpsuits, micro shorts with accessories like gold cricket pads and matching helmets and gold sneakers.

ATITHI GUPTA

Sartorial Allure but with elegant simple shapes with a lot of detailing and muted colour tones like shades of grey, balanced with purple, beige, brown, black, green and olive which gave the fabric choice of twill silk, a base for the detailing that was the highlight of the jackets, trousers and dresses. A grey asymmetric short sleeve smock with double sleeves, sheath in purple, a two toned paneled dress and zipped Jodhpur trousers were the interesting ensembles of the collection.


VINIT AGARWAL

Inspired by the beauty of Indian jewellery the collection reflected the colours like sapphire, amethyst, ruby, emerald and topaz which floated down the ramp for heavy lehengas and cholies with a lot of glitter and glitz. The western section with ornate corsets, velvet shrugs teamed with mini skirts in rich fabrics continued the jewel inspired look. Gotta work on a long slim skirt and blouse was the highlight of the range.

GOPAL ROY

Pleating and appliqué stripes of a very high standard in shades of grey, brown, dull green played all over the skirts, dresses and jackets to display a perfect command over fabric manipulation which gave each garment an almost amazing look. The finish was excellent and the silhouettes although simple, were carefully combined to project a coordinated compact collection.

TANVI KEDIA

The almost peasant tribal like draped dhoti skirt and embroidered blouse, the asymmetric layered skirts and top, the chiffon silk woven jackets and dresses, drapes for feminine silhouettes; recreated the look of a journey through tradition and style in shades of beige, white and brown. Quilting and volumes played a medley for the creations that gave the kitschy strokes on the ensembles a trendy touch.

Summer Wear : Swimwear Tankinis

Tankinis are a firm fave with girls for swimwear as they are so extraordinarily stylish and also provide a nice quantity of coverage.

Tired of wearing the regular looking 2 piece or one piece swimsuits out there? Well now their is some that are called tankini swimwear. They are kind of like bikinis except without the "bi" and adding in a "Tank" this is where the name Tankini's came from. This swimwear is just about like a tank top styled as a swimsuit top and a regular pair of bottoms. This may be a superb new look for swimming suits that was made. The tankini swimwear shows less of your skin as it just about covers up the belly area, but it is not like a regular one piece.

Women everywhere have always been faced by the existential sunbathing quandary : to cover or not to hide? How much is too showing and how unhappy isn't showing enough? But thanks to the latest revolutionary efforts of swim wear designers from all across the fashion world, there's certain to be one just excellent for you. You do not have to turn to extraordinary flaunting nor do you have to cover up like an unpleasantly wrapped burrito either.

This hybrid of the tank top, the one-piece suit and the bikini has proved to be one of a girl's best chums. If you are not a gigantic fan of showing off too much skin or remain a small nervous about flaunting your God-given assets, then it'd be a sensible idea to take this direction. Next to the skin-baring eye-catching string bikini comes the comfort and charm of the tankini.

Monaco Twenty Four Concept combines works & looks with time

Invoking the electrifying spirit of the world's most arduous sports car race, TAG Heuer continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with its Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph. Introduced at BaselWorld, this provocative timepiece features the same state-of-the-art engineering as the powerful GT cars that take to the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit. Additionally, the Monaco boasts a shock protection system invented by TAG Heuer that is the first of its kind, underscoring the brand's passion for revolutionizing the way timekeeping works and looks.

The Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph's race car-inspired functionality is found in every aspect of the piece's design, most notably in the energy manifold that houses the Calibre 36 movement. Comparable to a GT car's cockpit cage, this proprietary steel-tube structure safeguards the mechanism, ensuring that the watch can better withstand shock.

The movement gains additional protection from a shock-absorbing composite filter material that comprises the manifold's arms. Used in the racing and aerospace industry, this material insulates the Calibre 36 movement by directing vibrations into the composite filter, which absorbs and dissipates their energy. Unlike a conventional timepiece's Incabloc system, which protects the mechanism only from external shocks, TAG Heuer's revolutionary Advanced Dynamic Absorber insulates the movement entirely.

The Monaco Twenty Four Concept Chronograph is able to withstand an impact of 24,000 G, the equivalent of a 65-foot fall, compared with the industry standard of 2,000 - 5,000 G, or a three-foot fall. These additional safeguards ensure the Monaco and its components will remain unscathed whether the wearer is skydiving from 15,000 feet or attending a very enthusiastic business meeting.

Another definitive attribute of the chronograph is its annular oscillating weight. Unlike conventional watch weights, the Monaco's is made out industrial-grade tungsten, a rare metallic element that is extremely hard and infusible. The heaviness of the tungsten - and ultimately the oscillating weight - allows the chronograph to be more fully wound, resulting in more accurate timekeeping. Such attention to detail epitomizes TAG Heuer's passion for perfecting even the tiniest increment of time.

Teenagers Sexy Lingeries

Teens today are obsessed with fashion and lingerie is no exception. With so many music videos and celebrities showing off their style, it is no wonder that our teenagers want to jump onto that “fashion wagon". Lingerie shopping for teenagers can easily be done with tact and class by realizing what is appropriate and what is not.


Finding the right look depends entirely on the personality of the teenager. Is she the sporty type, quiet type or the outgoing cheerleader type? There is always a perfect look for every style. They are still teenagers, so something overly sexy may not be a suitable look. Think pretty and attractive when buying lingerie for a teenager. A teenagers body has not finished developing well into their 20’s, so getting accurate measurements before heading to the stores will help in finding the right fit.


Lingerie for teenagers should be beautiful but tasteful. Surprisingly, lingerie for teenagers and more are very similar to lingerie for the adult woman. Knowing what works for your teenager or yourself is the key to looking fabulous. Lingerie for teenagers generally is a bit more supportive than a sheer garment for an adult woman, as she may need more “encouragement” of her self image than an adult woman does. Many people think of sexy, sheer and lacy when it comes to lingerie for teenagers and more, but the truth is, supportive bras, panties, lacy tank tops and slips are all part of the lingerie family.


Lingerie for teenagers can be an exciting new world for the soon-to-be woman. Lingerie makes a woman feel beautiful and attractive. Being a teenager can be an awkward time for any young woman, and having a positive self image will help during this awkward time.

That is the idea behind Botanic Mood. A romantic, feminine and colourful universe with an abundance of pretty flower prints. But at the same time casual and with a touch of eco-traveller.

Colonial Blues

Blue, blue blues and lots of beautiful blue nuances. With the exception of a hint of fresh lemon green, the blue nuances are the only colours in Colonial Blues.

Ultrafine Merino shawl stars in Paris Fashion Week

A-list celebrities and international models were last week treated to the best Merino wool Australia has to offer at an exclusive event at Paris Fashion Week to celebrate one of the world's most promising young designers Alexander Wang.

Guests at a private dinner party for the exclusive retailer Colette were presented with gifts of ultrafine Merino shawls from the Jemala company from Victoria. Australian Wool Innovation, which introduced its top suppliers to Wang to help create his new Merino looks, has sourced what are unquestionably some of the most the luxurious wraps available. They are made from extremely rare, ultrafine Australian Merino wool, with each finely woven shawl made from a world-record-setting calibre of fleece; so fine that 8 kilometers of yarn are needed for each wrap.

Each specially bred Merino sheep is raised in a sheltered habitat to protect its precious fiber from the elements. Protective jackets ensure a perfectly uniform Merino wool. The result is a fibre that is softer, yet stronger than cashmere – and is available exclusively from Australia. It's extremely rare: every year enough fleece is shorn for only a few thousand shawls.

During the event Alexander Wang commented on the fineness of the fabric which the wool created.

"I worked with Australian Merino for autumn 2009 to create a more refined and tailored collection. The feel of this scarf is simply incomparable. I hope our guests liked it as much as I do," he said.

Director of Jemala, Ian Gill said the decision to partner with a young designer like Alexander Wang was not only good for Jemala, but good for Australian wool growers.

"The current trend in marketing used by Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) needs support and expansion. Raising the profile of superfine and extrafine Australian Merino Fibre by exposure to emerging and established designers is a powerful and logical starting point," Mr Gill said.

"We have to convince each new generation of the unique properties of Merino fibre to wean them away from their cotton and synthetic world.

"To do this we require continuous funding at be built into the thinking processes of all Australian Merino fibre growers. This must be as fundamental to our thinking as shearing, and subject to the same scrutiny that the fleeces must undergo each season.

"We need to support ourselves, by strongly supporting this comprehensive marketing program," he said.

"I've found a keen hardworking band of enthusiasts at every point of contact I've dealt with at AWI.

TSE Cashmere launches fall collection for woman

This year TSE celebrates 20 years of What We Do Best, Cashmere. Double face cashmere, single face cashmere and cashmere blends are at the core of the Fall 2009 Collection.

The inspiration for the collection is a woman who embodies the TSE aesthetic, modern, sophisticated and innovative. Although, she is at the forefront of current fashion, she is not driven by trends. She sees her purchases as investments and relies on TSE for great design, fit and quality.

In fall 2009, the TSE woman is wearing a body skimming underpinning, a cashmere bodysuit with feet. She layers it with a draped apron skirt and wraps herself in a blanket jacket. She wears the same draped apron with her TSE cashmere dress or knit pant suit. This season’s essential piece in her closet is the cashmere dress with the oversized hood.

A knit tailored jacket replaces her cardigans and softer shapes with a stronger line. The sharper shoulder is accentuated with removable shoulder pads. The silhouette is slimmer and more body conscious than in seasons past. Wrapping, draping and proportion center on highlighting the asymmetry of the collection.

The revisited and updated blanket like cashmere coats represent the modern, architectural shapes that have inspired TSE design from its inception.
