Trend Spotting

New Delhi, March 24, 2010: The colour was a hot favourite among designers and models on Day 1 of fashion week in Delhi. Purple just might be the unofficial official colour of Wills Indian Fashion Week (WIFW) Fall Winter 2010/11. Why? Because, one after the other, fashion biggies paraded into the WIFW venue in, you guessed it, purple!

First jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali walked in in a purple, one-shoulder Nandita Mahtani dress. Later, we spotted hair stylist to the stars, Sapna Bhavnani showing off the most awesome purple hair! When asked, she refused to reveal exactly how she created the lovely colour. “All I’ll say is it’s a mixture of three colours and I call it bengan!” she said.
Then, in walked menswear designer Rohit Kamra wearing one of his own creations which was, of course, purple! And he was soon followed by model Indrani Dasgupta, also in the same colour.


Designer Gaurav Gupta, who is showing on Day 2 at WIFW, also had purple, plaid-patterned dresses on display at his stall. It looks like he’s been inspired by the avant garde designer Alexander McQueen. We wonder, is this a tribute to the British designer who recently died?

Also, some outfits displayed at Rohit Bal’s stall were in shades of, what else, purple. It’s time to update your wardrobes, people!

Jumpsuits were a hot favourite on Day 1, what with designer Masaba Gupta arriving in a cool, white one, soon to be followed by Nandita Mahtani in a cute, ash grey one!

Mumbai-based designer Nikasha Tawade chose to model her own creations. She picked an eye-wateringly bright fushia pink kaftan-type kurti and matched it with burnt orange dhoti pants. She looked fab!

Celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani did something fabulous with model Sheetal Mallar’s hair. While giving her the hairstyle of the week, Bhavnani took the WIFW ‘official photographer’s’ lovely, curly long hair and PINNED it into a bob. All she used was water spray and shine. Why? “Because you can get your hair off your neck for the summer, without having to hack it off,” said Bhavnani. “Plus bobs are in right now! And you can accessorise them with feathers or funky hairbands,” she added.
Psst… we think the always trendy Bhavnani’s psychedelic clothes need a special mention. She matched her puff-sleeve black dress with neon green stockings and white loafers!

Stylish Workout

Having the right clothes for any situation can not only affect your mood, it can affect your performance too. So why not hit the gym looking stylish yet being comfortable?

Talking of style and fitness together, the first name that pops in my mind is Stella McCartney. Adidas collaborated with Stella McCartney and the lady has put in some real design into her fitness line. She adds interesting details that add intrigue to her pieces and turn something basic and expected into the unexpected. And trust me, with one of those pieces in your workout wardrobe, you would love to go to the gym!!!!

Nike for sure is a must-have in every workout wardrobe, Nike shoes, their pants, tanks and their famous dri-fit collection.

Girls, enough of talking. I've created some stylish workout looks and also added some stylish celebrity workout looks. With clothes this great, you'll actually want to exercise every day.

Look 1: Sexy, Chic and Comfortable

Go for a jog or head the gym in these dead gorgeous Stella McCartney (Adidas) shorts with rolled up legs and running shoes, team it with a white vest or the purple vest and for cover up the track jackets (£32-49) in grey or yellow would finish the look perfectly.





Look 2: Stylish and Comfortable


Combine style and comfort by layering over form-fitting separates and understated sneakers for sporty chic. Work out in style in Nike black track pants (£29.5), a yellow (£19.99 ) or a black (£14.99) tank top layered with Adidas by Stella McCartney pleated cotton track top with puff pleat-detailed shoulders (£77.17) and paired with Adidas by Stella white tennis sneakers with yellow and grey trim (£110.58).

Celebrities in their Stylish Workout Attire

Ashley Green goes the sexy route to the gym in Sherman Oaks in black and blue teamed with her black Nike Shoes and large blue tote, while Eva Mendes went for a simple understated green and grey layered look, which she completed with an oversized red Prada bag for her Hollywood Gym.

While other ladies choose to add a pop of colour, down below black and white reigned.

Kim Kardashian was spotted walking from the gym in a white tank top, sports bra and black stretch pants after a morning workout. Kim carried a black Balenciaga bag to carry hold over knick knacks.

Gym was what Kim, Ashley and Eva preferred, but Gwyneth and Renee loved their jogs on the streets.

Gwyneth Paltrow went for a jog in her local neighborhood wearing a black Adidas by Stella McCartney track top paired with cropped grey pants while saving herself from the harmful UVA rays in her smart aviators.

While Renee Zellweger went jogging in the beautiful streets of Paris, near Eiffel tower, looking chic in her a black ensemble - black shorts, tank inside a black track jacket. Love her shoes.

A large tote is your gym must-have. It should have room enough to carry your bottle, towel, comb, wallet, keys, lip balm and other knick knacks.
.
Tired of the ubiquitous Nike and Adidas? Need some stylish and sexy sportswear, that wouldn't hurt too much of your pockets?
Lululemon (Canadian-based Yoga clothing company ), FitnessFit (sporty and stylish workout wear) and Victoria Secrets are some of the labels that you might want to try while shopping for your fitness wear.

Bollywood goes Haute in Aisha

A leading daily recently published an article, 'Couture Goes Haute in Bollywood's Aisha', and rightly so. Aisha is India's answer to the Hollywood fashionable Sex and the City. While Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell (later adapted by a TV series), Aisha is based on famous book 'Emma' of Jane Austen.

Both the movies have the Big Fashion element, and we're glad that the Indian actresses are learning the world of style and chic.
.



Aisha, which is co-produced by PVR Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films Co. Ltd, is a film that deals with a fashionable girl played by Sonam Kapoor, who is also very fashionable in real life.

The movie has tied up with high-end international brands such as Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel and is Indian cinema's first ever chick flick. Experts in the brand integration business say premium brands have been used in Bollywood films before but it’s for the first time that a film has incorporated so many high-end products at one go.
.
We've all seen the Promos of Aisha and they're nothing short of very stylish. All the female leads are looking chic and sophisticated. The effort that has gone into the clothes is close to what we've seen in the likes of Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City.

The female lead Sonam Kapoor and the rest of the cast will be swathed in as many as 60 Dior dresses and accessories.

Aisha has also tied up with premium home linen brand Portico. Sonam Kapoor’s bedroom in the film has been done up by Portico.

Other designer whose creations would be seen in Aisha is Anamika Khanna. Paticularly Amrita Puri (Who plays Shefal in the movie) would be seen in a lot of Anamika's creations.
