    Victoria Beckham launches her first “CAR”

    April 23rd, 2012

    Victoria beckham the famous singer turned designer did not stop it all at dresses. Along with her superstar husband, she crosses the boundaries and enters into designing of cars, by creation of Range Rover’s off-road vehicle, the “Evoque”.
    With her talent she makes it very simple to say that a designer cannot be classified as an apparel designer or jewelry designer, a really talented designer is the “creator of all”. A creative thought can do anything and that’s what makes a successful designer different from others.
    Her new creation is nothing but just what she would want to drive. It’s a creation by just being true to herself. Though it was not easy. This involved a long research work, but just to learn more and know what she want in her car, she strolled down into the knowledge for not only cars, but also old and new, boats, planes, movie stars, different locations etc. thus her inspiration cannot be marked.
    She thinks that though women will drive this car, it has a masculine edge and thinks it’s very cool.
    The special edition “Evoque” features exclusive, hand-finished matt paint, the first for a Land Rover-type vehicle.
    The vehicle also has rose gold accents on the grille and gloss black forged alloy wheels. Inside, the four-seat coupe includes vintage-inspired leather seats, rose gold-plated accents and features trimmings of black lacquer, textured aluminum and mohair.
    In addition, the vehicle has bespoke luxury accessories, such as a four-piece leather luggage set and a hand-sewn leather wallet for the owner’s manual signed by (Victoria) Beckham.
    The special edition “Evoque” costs 80,000 pounds ($129,000), twice the cost of a regular model. Only 200 will be made, the first of which will be rolled out in China as early as October.
    She maintains her policy of limited production in cars also like dresses and her bags, to make her clients feel special as she does not want to get big too quickly.

    Academy awards 2012 !

    February 28th, 2012

    As the nominees and winners settle down to debate who really deserved to win the Oscars 2012 we are more occupied with who walked the red carpet in style this year.

    The Oscar night is when the Hollywood stars shine the brightest. As each one of those stars walked down the red carpet we catch a quick glimpse of their style. First up is the hot Hollywood Pitt pair. Contrary to the expectations the couple failed to get noticed much this year. Jolie turned out in asymmetric gown all in black with what looked like a plain look without jewels. Brad Pitt turned out in his Tux, long hair combed back he was too presentable with Jolie.

    Moving over t Clooney and stacy pair. They were complementary o the red carpet. With stacy’s shimmering attire countering clooney’s typical black suit. Stacy’s earring is worth mentioning the collection of diamonds on it was ravishing.

    Daring Viola opted to go green this season. The silk and crush combo worked well in her favor. The green earring and the bracelet were not the only accessories; the clutch was also another investment that the Hollywood hotties are ready to make.

    Emma stone chose to camouflage with the carpet in her blood red free flowing gown. She resembled a bundle of red roses in that designer wear with a bow at the neck. Her neatly set hair and she over sized bracelet went well with the dress. She was one star who could not have been missed at the Oscars.

    J Lo was stunning on the red carpet. In her patterned, shimmering gown with the designs congregating at her waist that dress looked as though it was sued on to her. The patterns were chosen to emphasize her curves which are her pride. J Lo was one actor everybody’s eyes were glued on to. And eyes popped when the actor turned to reveal the designer back.

    Not many colours played on the ramp. The ladies chose to go with shades of crème while the guys stuck to the traditional tux. We will later declare the best dressed and the worst dressed on the red carpet after analysis so follow us.

As its unique and one of a kind, with very rare repeats. It highlights your personality.

    Besides, rapidly growing popularity of boutiques selling designer and local wear showcasing finished and ready-to-stitch garments and trendy dress material is another growth driver for designer wear industry.

    Then the next contributor for blast of designer industry is the film industry which is all about branded cloths and designer wear being exhibition by the individuals every day, and followers love to follow the trend.

Besides, nearly 40 per cent of working couples prefer buying designer wear for their kids.

    But before the designers move ahead , they tend to step back because of a major problem they face of plagiarism, as designs get copied and thus more and more fashion designers have started seeking copyright protection and are getting their designs registered.

    REVENGE IS THE BEHIND REALITY

    December 26th, 2011

    This is for publicity or revenge is the question many will have from nihar pandva on the latest step which he is moving forward for.
    He has come out of his shackles and making an effort to get a peep in the inside story of his break up with the famous celebrity Deepika Padukone. Nihar is very clear on his idea that this breakup will help him become a good actor. But it will affect Deepika which is not his concern.
    He gets his inspiration from the movie rockstart, when he realizes not to sit quite after the pain he faced after the breakup. No pain No gain, what Ranbir says in the movie is his tag line for this inspiration. He wants to take this failure as the reason behind his future foreseen success.
    Working with his friend Prashant Chadha as the director of the movie based on his life will also be shot at Anupam kher’s acting school where their love story started.
    The efforts are clear to gain success from stepping on the celebrity’s success. Though Deepika has her own stand and followers, which are a screen for her and such acts, will not affect her. But this coming up story of the new release could be given a better base for success.

    Nicki Minaj Fashion Faux Pas

    October 4th, 2011

    Nicki Minaj is a hip hop artist who acquired fame after being signed to Young Money. She was born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago, but moved to the Queens borough of New York City at age five.

    Minaj began her music career in 2007 after she released her first mix tape Playtime Is Over. The mix tape was followed by the many more mix tapes which were released in 2008 and 2009. Her first label success was after rapper Lil Wayne discovered and secured a record deal with her with Young Money Entertainment with distribution from Universal Motown Records In August 2009.

    She released her first debut album, Pink Friday in 2010 which became a commercial success, peaking at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200. And was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after its release. She became the first artist ever to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.Her second single, “Your Love”, reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, making Minaj the first female artist to top the chart unaccompanied. Many more records of hers have been sold and topped the charts.

    Musically Minaj us great but when it comes to Fashion she is a walking disaster on shoes. Fashion is crazy with her outfits, to shoes to her jewelry and hairdos. Retro and Funk is her thing!

    Always seen is flashy colours and trashy art, Nicki Minaj is one of the craziest artist, after Lady Gaga of course. Oh, Nicki Minaj. Why do you insist on being so unbelievably crazy on the red carpet and off? Her latest red carpet look is just as out there as her previous ones, but there’s just so much going on here that we simply had to talk about it.

    Well for the beginning, Nicki’s wearing a huge swan around her neck. A swan. We’re all for animal jewelry, but why is it so humongous? Add to it the crazy ballerina tutu and the Wellies–seriously, Wellies on a red carpet?–and well we have nothing to say! No words can describe it.

    Well it’s a well known fact that Nicki likes to be an individual and express her personal style, but we don’t think at all that this outfit is all that stylish. Especially with those crazy curly girly pigtails. Nope! Not forgiven this time!
