The Christian Dior film “Lady Grey London” is a narrative advertisement movie with a mixture of class, style and shock value on celluloid. It stars Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard and Academy Award nominee Sir Ian McKellen strategically surrounded by an array of expensive and luxurious Dior accessories. A visually appealing film that stimulated my […]

The world has truly shrunk. Boundaries have been destroyed. All is accessible. The world is my oyster. Such clichés have truly delivered in today’s times. A perfect example of destruction of such boundaries is the fashion world. Western designers are getting inspiration from the Eastern World and vice versa. Gone are the days when a

I usually do not do street style blogs as I do not find most people to be visually stimulating. Most try to look like clones of each other, in a maddening effort to conform to whatever the “it” look is of that season. No “X,” “Y,” or “Z” factor there! However, after meeting William, I

One can see the super-thin models walking in the buff and emanating a “puff” from their perfectly matte or super-glossed pout, depending whether you are at Yves Saint Laurent or Gucci. I was a bit astounded and bewildered,as I thought to myself,

As a person of Indian descent, wearing a rainbow of colors is part of my DNA. India’s description as a “colorful country” is apt and reflects its rich culture, heritage and traditions.
