Sari Madam

Posted on March 22, 2011 | 1 Comment

I love saris. I wish I could wear them everyday like my grandmother did. I went to exactly one show at (Lakme India) Fashion Week, the Shantanu and Nikhil show where I saw and lusted over this one. How perfect it is, and how chic and nicely draped.

In other updates, I discovered the album Sinema from this Delhi band Peter Cat Recording Co. And Motherland, one of the first indie magazines in India by ad house Wieden+Kennedy has great cover art and insight into Indian subcultures.

If you can’t tell, my Indophilia is currently off the charts.

Pashin for Fashin

Posted on January 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Love that two of my favourite labels Missoni and Prada have such fun, spirited campaign videos for their festive new season collections. No vacant stares and insipid poses to be found anywhere.

Thanks Alex and Sophie.

Ultra violet

Posted on July 14, 2010 | 3 Comments

I don’t know how but in the span of a month, I found myself at two completely separate black light shoots. One was fun because I got to finger paint fluorescent tribal designs on some traditional feather and hide masks, the other because the dancers we dressed were fucking fantastic. Both were splendid, both I photographed. These pictures are from a song sequence in a Bollywood film that I worked on as wardrobe assistant.

Last resort

Posted on January 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

I’m allergic to cold weather. It’s a real problem. I need to live in a town/city with sweltering summers and balmy winters and then I can just shop from each season’s resort collections. I love Alexander Wang 2010 resort collection, so not your usual boring Breton stripes nonsense.

I really hate black right now. She says while wearing a black batwing dress. Meh.

Editorial

Posted on January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment

So like I’m styling now! Strangers have been like ‘Are you a stylist?’ (I think it’s cos I wear MC Hammer pants) and now I flip my hair and I’m like ‘Why yes I am, how’d you know?’ It’s like, brilliant. Speaking of which I love these editorials – Vogue China, etc. Much needed inspiration today.

Cra$h

Posted on December 20, 2009 | Leave a comment

Kali Arulpragasam (sister of MIA) is a London based jewellery designer slash social commentator. Her past collections in her line Super Fertile such as Terrorism Affects Tourism shows beautiful positive imagery of terrorism inflicted nations and Hunger exemplifies food as jewels – grains and nuts in gold and silver. Her current line Cra$h is a fantastic (expensive) take on the waning global economy, welfare and spending.

Moschino S/S 2010

Posted on September 30, 2009 | 1 Comment

Oh my life, they’re designing for the new decade already. Can you imagine us looking back at these ten years and talking about how things are so noughties influenced? Yuk. It’s nearly October and I’m still waiting for this year to redeem itself. 2009, I hate you. But Moschino, I love. I probably own half a dozen pieces. Most recently, a fantastic vintage Cheap and Chic waistcoat, a hand-me-down from my 17 year old cousin. Their entire Spring 2010 collection at Milan Fashion Week was playful and pretty, the cool headpieces, the touch of tacky gold. All tasty morsels.

Weapons of Mass Seduction

Posted on September 5, 2009 | 1 Comment

Eeeee! My ultimate dreamboat Teva is in the newest Stolen Girlfriend’s Club campaign Weapons of Mass Seduction shot by Derek Henderson, one of my favourite ever photographers. You can also watch the collection video here and hear Teva’s cute little French accent. I’m going to have to ask him who he’s talking about. Also these women’s pieces are hot.

Ashish

Posted on July 17, 2009 | 1 Comment

I just discovered the work of designer Ashish Gupta and his label Ashish which I love. Being home makes me all googly-eyed about clothes inspite of the closest thing to fashion running in my family is that sometimes my granddad watches FTV on silent. Cutie! These are some of my favourites from various London Fashion Weeks where Ashish has showcased his collections carefully screenshotted by me.

Piers Atkinson

Posted on July 15, 2009 | 1 Comment

I’ve been in a pompom making frenzy (no comment) and I opened the April copy of Vogue India left behind by my mother and found an editorial with this piece on a little girl. Milliner Piers Atkinson makes some great quirky headpieces.
