First, it was Preity Zinta who made a statement at the Lakme Fashion Week with her “Say No To Plastic” jute bag. Now, Konkona Sen Sharma has tied up with Cottonworld to promote their initiative to do away with plastic bags and give their customers cloth carry bags.

The woman is an avid fan of cotton as is reflected in her choice of clothing. Notice her wearing a cotton Nikasha top, the same was showcased recently at the Lakme Fashion Week Spring 2008.

I must say, I was inspired to do this post after reading this rediff post. It got me intrigued after reading it, as to how many times Mrs Nayar been sporting the look.

I must say, after the first few times, the woman has mastered the art of carrying the pallu stylishly!

The stars were out and about at the premiere of Saawariya, but these stars made it here for all the wrong reasons…

To begin with, Priyanka Chopra shows you how not to do Brocade. I mean really, trifle much, don’t you think? There is so much pattern going on there, makes me almost dizzy!

And then, the lovely Amisha Patel. Someone tell me how does one manage to match their lipstick down to the teeniest tint of their outfit?!

Oh boy! Lovely outfit but don’t think the silhouette’s doing much for Ms. Mukherjee.

The YouthAids Benefit Gala “Faces of India” was an interesting night. While Padma Lakshmi and Miss India Puja Gupta decided to wear dresses, Ashley Judd looked gorgeous in a silk purple sari! And this time Ashley had the bindi on in the right place!

Limited Edition Dior ‘India’ Saddle Bag

John Galliano designed 12 limited edition Dior Saddle Bags, those inspired by Mexico, China, Russia among others! But what interests us, is of course the ‘India’ saddle bag!

The nudge at an old-world elaborate nose-ring isn’t lost on anyone and while a little garish ,and I do wonder why most Indian inspired things are, its fun!

John Galliano in honour of his 10th anniversary at the house, designed 12 saddle bags, each paying tribute to the 12 countries that have inspired him during his time with Dior! While a little loud and over the top, they are still being touted as good investment pieces!

Of course the news of these bags is trifle old but the reason I write is, I saw a lady at the Delhi airport carrying a bag that looked remarkably like the saddle but very, very Indianised and when I went up to her and asked if it was Dior, she said “Nahin ji, GK se liya hai”! (No, I got it from GK)(*GK, a marketplace in Delhi) :) And ‘that’ turned to ‘this’ post!

On an aside, I just got into India! And in true High Heel spirit the first thing I did was to buy Vogue India at the airport! (Family has mentioned therapy but we are working on it!)
