Sasha and Kaabia Grewal's Outhouse Jewellery has a flagship store at Meherchand Market and there was a FABULOUS party! DJ Nishant made the event come alive.
Having spent the last couple of years lamenting about how there is no half-decent street photography project in India, I was too scared to try it myself. The visual of me, a girl, standing on the streets of Delhi / Noida / Gurgaon, with my camera used to shut down the plan as soon as it came up in my head. Where would I stand? What if someone came up to me and demanded to know just who the hell I thought I was, pointing my camera at whoever I please?
This special blog feature is for one of my favourite sections at the museum : Palanquin Handles. From the Heritage Transport Museum earlier during the #DestinationUnlocked tour with Le Meridien Gurgaon.
Visual story of the blogger's meet up organized by Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers on the occasion of their Bridal Collection jewellery launch on Akshaya Tritiya. Includes some of my favourites pieces from their beautiful precious jewellery.
Beautiful Made In Italy camera strap. Italian leather and felt wool combined to make one of the most stylish and sturdy pieces I have come across. Re-Process by HardGraft is by far, my favourite camera strap.
Fashion designer Sneha Arora's Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 presentation was called "Appetite" and featured prints of onions, radishes, beetroot and other vegetables, fruits and food items on well-tailored dresses and shirts and trousers.
The ELLE Carnival For A Cause is associated with the Ogaan Cancer Foundation and each year, they sell some lovely designer wear and brands at discounted prices and the proceed go to charity. I was finally able to make it to the 2015 edition of the #ELLECarnival, which was being held on the lawns of the Taj Mansingh hotel in New Delhi.
I Am Alive, by Amalraj Sengupta at the Amazon India Fashion Week autumn/Winter 2015 was dedicated to Red Indians. "It is a small way of putting across a message to the world, from a Red Indian... "You see, I am alive."" Amalraj's clothes used their silhouettes, colours and patterns with a modern touch.
Bodice by fashion designer Ruchika Sachdeva is the 2014 recipient of the Vogue Fashion Fund. Ruchika's clothes bring the words, "relaxed", "travel", "ease", to mind. Simple silhouettes and natural dyes make it a personal favourite for me.
An Early Frost by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna at the Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn / Winter 2015. "This special collection is together a lament and a celebration of life." Blacks and whites, ash grey and dark oak and immensely wearable clothes.
Anju Modi's "How To Write A Fairy Tale" was such a lovely presentation! Princes and Princesses and adorable crowns. Gorgeous hair on the models and Anju's staple and great handiwork on each ensemble.
The Bolshoi Bazaar by JJ Valaya was a heady, colorful mix of Russia and India. Words like "royal", "majestic", come to mind. JJ also had some fabulous men walk the runway wearing his clothes. It was a fun collection to watch.
25 of India's leading fashion designers - veterans most of them and a few stellar new ones. Stunning pieces and setup and lovely that the designers walked the runway at the end as well. It is unfair that so many of us love and adore their work and don't see enough of the faces behind the collections. Styled by Gautam Kalra. Produced by Preferred Professionals.
Luxurious letterheads by Moo.com From their Luxe collection. One side printed with some of my selected black and white photographs and the other side, blank, to be written on. To be sent to a select few only!
Narmata Joshipura's Autumn/Winter collection is called Night Goddess. It is inspired by Nyx, who is the goddess of the night from Greek mythology and identified with mystery, beauty and power. Satin, gowns, faux fur, culottes and super sexy silhouettes. Everything was stunning and hopefully my fitness regimen might allow me to actually get a piece or two!
Pero's Princess Pea collection was plaid and pashmina and florals. They even had a Military Band in the background on stage for live music! I think it was the Madras Regiment band it was quite an experience to hear this music at Fashion Week! I don't know if it's been done before but as the child of an Army Officer, I LOVED it!
