A Manish Malhotra show at Lakme Fashion Week has to have Bollywood presence, be that in the audience or on the runway. The runway, this time, was represented by Genelia and Tusshar. After seeing Dimple and Kabir, we are sorry to say, we aren’t quite impressed! ;)

While his last collection had a heavy dose of velvet, Sabyasachi’s new collection was a mixture of ethnic prints, patchwork and net in dark earthy colors. While most of his silhouettes remained the same, the new prints, material and way it all came together made all the difference! Go on, call us biased but what can we say, we like!!

LFW Autumn 09: Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra is no doubt a good designer but is one who is terribly over-exposed and that quite doesn’t work in his favor! It is evident he has learnt what works and likes to marginally tweak it every now and then, never wandering too far away from his comfort zone. And that works for his core demographic so why not. Fair enough. Except there just is no element of surprise any more. Do you blame us for not being wow’ed? Like at all?

P.S: If the second row, extreme right sari looks very familiar, thats because it is very reminiscent of THIS!

LFW Autumn 09: Archana Kochhar

Minissha Lamba walked for Archana Kochhar and we hope thats all she does, don’t want her taking away any of these dresses off the runway! Over-embellished lehengas, pseudo innovative saris and badly crafted gowns got this collection in the running for our least favorites!

Lina Tipnis showed an extremely commercial and wearable collection with a lot of rich colors (other than the usual fall suspects-blacks and browns) and embellishments either in the neckline or at the waist. Our favorites have to be the sheath dresses in rich deep hues with tasteful embellishments on the necklines!
