Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments » What to wear? Is this question troubling you….January 11th, 2012You need to rush for a party; you have no clue what to wear. Infact most of us don’t know the difference and how they should dress depending upon the occasion. You cannot wear the same attire for an office party what you wear for a club. Check out one, two, three below… One -Cocktail party: should be all about glamour, shimmer, sparkle all around. You have a bling bling sequence dress; it’s time to wear it now. Even leather will do well, for this party. Club with a plain clutch bag and heels in contrast colours. Two -House party: these parties are tricky, very tough to decide whether to dress up or go casual….so be safe dress up with something comfortable, bling it with shoes or bag. Flats will be a better option here. Dress up simple and stylish. The designer Shantanu and Nikhil has a lot in his collection for such parties. Three -Office party: I would advice to be dressed up with smart formals. Bold colour dresses with belts and heels or may be high waist trousers with a cute top. Satin fabric dresses do quite well here. Don’t overdo with accessories. Studs will be enough with a clutch bag.

Rahul Khanna We may not have been talking about Rahul Khanna this year because of his movies but we where certainly talking about him because of his wardrobe. Rahul Khanna is certainly one actor men should look to for some fashionable influence, as Rahul knows how to have fun with his wardrobe. While most Bollywood actors opt for the same old black suits Rahul mixes it up by adding a spot of colour to his wardrobe, be it a white suit or blue blazer. Rahul has become a regular on our hot list for fashion and was the first male actor to gain our Star Stylist title. 4. Dia Mirza 2011 saw Dia Mirza launch her first film, Love Breakups Zindigi, under her production house, Born Free Entertainment, along with her boyfriend Sahil Sangha and actor Zayed Khan. This is also the year that we started noticing Dia Mirza even more because of her fabulous wardrobe both onscreen and off screen. What has she been upto. 3. Imran Khan This year has been a great year for Imran Khan not only because of the success of movies such as Delhi Belly and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan but also because once again he has made it onto our most fashionable Bollywood stars list. Imran is another actor that stayed away from the traditional black suit this year by opting for other colours such as grey. Imran brought his fun and youthful style to his outfits once again this year be it in a grey suit or a casual quirky t-shirt. Imran is certainly one Khan we will be keeping an eye on in 2012 to see if he can raise the fashion stakes once again. 2. Priyanka Chopra Priyanka Chopra should be beaming by the end of this year. Not only has she bagged herself a record deal, and had the release of the much-awaited film Don 2, but she was also named India’s Best Dressed by People magazine. We can’t say we disagree with People magazine as Priyanka Chopra has shown that she knows how to dress whether it is in Indian attire or western clothing. It is her choice of Indian attire this year, be it on the catwalk or at the Toronto IIFA awards that got us talking. However one or two fashion mistakes this year cost her the number one spot on our elite list. Priyanka Chopra is one star to keep an eye on in 2012 as if she raises her game she may be able to make it to our number one spot. 1. Sonam Kapoor Sonam Kapoor has proved that once again she knows her fashion and is the ultimate Bollywood fashionista. 2011 has been a great year for Sonam, when it comes to fashion. Off screen the actress made her debut on the Cannes red carpet and showed the world that she knows how to dress to impress by opting for a memorable Jean Paul Gaultier gown and a striking Masaba Gupta sari. Sonam didn’t stop there as she was also spotted amongst International stars such as Freida Pinto when she attended the Chanel Paris-Bombay Pre-Fall 2012 show in Paris this month. Sonam Kapoor has also become a regular on our Star Stylista list gaining the title more than once this year by opting for fun outfits. Sonam always raises the fashion stakes by daring to be different and staying away from the cliché outfits that many actresses are spotted in.

Tags: Deepika Padukone, Nihar Pandva, Prashant Chadha Colour Craze!!!November 18th, 2011Colours are the phenomena of visual insight. One cannot hear, taste or feel the colour, the only way to recognize the colour is to see it. A colour is a means of nonverbal communication and says a lot more than you can ever imagine.Colour is a fundamental consideration in the design process. Colour can also affect someone’s ability to concentrate or to focus well. Colour can also have an effect on the way someone appears to look in the clothing they wear. It is often the first element that is noticed about a design and influences how the garment or collection is perceived. Colour is often the starting point of the design process. Gender and personality are the most common factors for determining the type of colours a person will wear. Males are typically dressed in dark colours such as blue, black, green, gray, red, and brown. These colours are usually worn in various shades but they still consist of these primary hues. Females typically wear lighter colours such as pink, yellow, cyan, lime green, orange, and peach. Women and girls also wear the darker colours that are normally associated with men but men normally do not wear lighter colours associated with women Colour also has an Impact on:

Each of them has potentially positive or negative psychological effects and which of these effects is created depends on the relationships within colour combinations. Colours can warm up, cool down, make practical or impractical, create impact or camouflage.

A garments message can be completely altered by the colour; for example: a severe cut can be softened if it is executed in a candy pink.
Be Colour Crazy
Be colour conscious right down to your toes. Sometimes you only need to change the colour to make it work! It will pay dividends. Our fashion colour choices say a lot about the image we are trying to portray and how we feel about ourselves. Care must be taken with the basic colour of the garments if unusual colour accessories are to be worn to advantage. Check the colour of the fabric against your face. Hair, eyes, and skin colouring must be taken into account, plus the occasion for day or evening wear. Generally, the smaller and the thinner person, the lighter the colour she should wear, with the reverse for taller, heavier types. The right colours can make your skin tone appear more even, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles and make you look brighter and healthier. While on the other hand wearing a colour which isn’t so good for you can make you look tired, dull and even ill. Create your own colour story without restricting yourself to just two or three basic colours. Choose colours which flatter and enhance you, not colours you have to work hard to wear to look alive. Only through experience will you become selective about colours and tones which compliment or do nothing for you. Posted in Fashion Trends | No Comments » Color Forecast 2012November 17th, 2011
