For my UK readers, here’s an upcoming fashion show taking place on November 22, 2009.

Genesis Colors Brings “MAYA” Collection to London
 
‘Showcases the Latest F/W 09 Lines by Satya Paul & Deepika Gehani’
 
November 22 sees the arrival of the “MAYA” collection by two of  India’s  finest designers – Satya Paul and Deepika Gehani, to showcase their Fall Winter 09 collections at the beautiful Mint Leaf Restaurant & Bar in Londons West End.
 
Celebrating 25 years of globally acclaimed excellence in design, Satya Paul presents the latest in its exquisite line for Autumn Winter 09 – ‘Maya’.
 
Maya is illusion. The inspiration behind the Maya collection is this ‘illusory’ world. This illusory life is portrayed by the use of colors on the fabric as if refracted through a prism.
 
Maya is all about color! It is Satya Paul’s way to court glamour and fantasy in the form of colorful patterns on saris and garments. With a deft, use of pattern and color, a beautiful collection of easy to wear pieces make up Maya… ornamental designs, layers, shadows and contrasting elements render Maya a bold graphic look. 
 
Since its birth in 1985, the Satya Paul look is a strong interplay of patterns and colour that the New York Times has hailed as ‘works of Kinetic Art’. The label’s look is distinguished and identifiable on the street. Having re-invented the traditional sari as a modern classic, the Satya Paul product line also comprises of western clothing, including scarves, bags, men’s accessories and fabrics, as well as an entire range of classic bridal wear. Satya Paul recently launched its ‘Signature’ couture line and a diffusion line ‘Satya’ by Satya Paul.
 
DEEPIKA GEHANI
Deepika has been creating exquisite pieces since the last decade and has focused a lot on her creations being stylish and sexy. Striking the perfect balance between feminine and glamorous, this new collection by her takes its inspiration from the Traditional Indian Saree. very much in keeping with the India revival that the world is currently seeing.

Traditional yet trendy, the collection personifies the character of the modern Indian woman who has adapted to the western lifestyle, yet is deeply rooted to her Indian culture and ethos. The Gossamer Tulle drapes are solely inspired from the cuts and silhouettes of the Saree. The dress with the skirt really close fitted around the waist and the hips and then flared at the bottom, fitted with the extension of the ‘pallu’- shoulder drapes is not only extremely flattering to the India body types, but also emphasises the Indian flavour.

Sister Alvira Khan came out to support her brother Salman’s fashion show in a blue, satin number that could have used a good ironing pre-show. As dresses go, this one is not so bad but it’s also not great. It’s just ‘meh’.

As black dresses go, this is not too bad; a few more inches of fabric and it would be downright decent. However, Amisha really could use a closet full of designer shoes as these are terribly cheap and tawdry. Heck, no respectable hooker would be caught dead in these!

 

Reader Request – Twinkle Khanna October 18, 2009

This is a look stuck in the 80s and we all know that was a bad time for fashion! Huge shoulders and ‘hammer pants’ aside, it is also an overkill on oversized accessories. For once, I don’t covet Twinkle’s look. How about you?

Thanks Madhumita for the alert.

 

Reader Request – Preity Zinta October 18, 2009

For a supposed ’style icon’, this is a look that should have never seen the light of day. Forget about it being inappropriate, it is plain bad! Is Preity going to the dance club or is she suiting up for combat (ergo the belt)? Thanks Madhumita for alerting us to this fashion debacle!

 

Reader Request – Aamir and Kiran October 18, 2009

amir-kiran

Blog reader Madhumita wanted me to review a few of our celebs’ fashion faux-pas, so here goes. First up is Aamir and Kiran who were in attendance at Salman’s ‘Being Human’ fashion show. It’s nice of Aamir to show his support by wearing one of the ‘Being Human’ t-shirts but his outfit is nothing to write home about. Ripped jeans, really?! Is that the best he could do? As for wife Kiran, the outfit is a complete mismatch and the blouse seems to be 10 sizes too large. The skirt seems better suited for the office rather than to a fashion show. The only thing salvageable about this outfit are her Loubs (shoes).
