Kalki on Marie Claire India:(Un)Covered

Comment image 22


A more serious Kalki features on the Marie Claire cover in a floral D&G maxi and Blumarine accessores. The mood is a nice departure from the cheery Kalki that we are used to seeing.

  1. I love Kalki and I’m glad she’s getting featured on covers instead of the usual barbie brigade, but that is the most ridiculous pose ever. The awkward leg/foot placement is just too contorted, even for a fashion shoot.

    Plus, while I get where they were going with the breezy chiffon florals + clunky boots combo, this just isn’t working. Its probably the pose combined with the tackiness of the boot.

    Also her hair (wig?) looks terribly styled and she doesn’t pull the serious look off.

    Even with all my Kalki-loving this is a terrible, terrible cover. Way to zombie-fy an adorable girl :-(

    • I adore Kalki too and have to agree with every single thing that you said. How can they do such a ridiculous cover? It just seems to take the spirit out of her. I also want that smile of hers. It just brightens everything.

    • Totally agree, her leg looks like it’s flying in mid air. She’s such a cute girl though and I am glad she doesn’t do typical shoots like other chicas!

  2. Payal, I know its essential to have banners on site, but its suuuuper annoying when the banners 250xwhatever are ON the image.. and right at the bottom.. always hiding the awesome shoes :(
    So when I go to click on it to close it, inevitably, thanks to predictive touch on Iphones & Ipads, I Always end up clicking the banner and get thrown off!

    I know CTR is a good thing, but please it is SUPER annoying… ask your other readers who follow you on mobile devices.

    I have a suggestion of placing banner ads below the pic, like m.perezhilton.com so it doesn’t effect the pic, plus you can easily click on it , if you really want to ;)

    Hope you will look into this, just healthy feedback. Kudos to your vogue entry, you two are my inspiration.

      • To piggyback on niche’s comment, I find the ads very very annoying too. Even when I try to x out of them on my laptop touch pad I end up looking at their websites for ‘Shocking Discovery for your Joints!’ at times. And if you want to look at the shoes you have no option but to try to x out of these ads. :(

          • OMG! That’s a pet peeve of mine too.So glad someone brought it up. I am forever clicking on the ‘x’ to see the shoes but it takes me to some other page. You have to be really careful clicking on the ‘x’. I don’t use a mobile device,just a good ol’ laptop you know!

        • i agree with you. The adds are extremely annoying. Please have contant non-changing images or even better google style images with only text. It takes the longest time to load on my phone.

    • Thanks I’ve been meaning to write about it as well. Those banners are really annoying. I am sure there’s a less intrusive way to feature them.

  3. more than ‘serious’ Kalki this one seems to be ‘sulking’ Kalki..the expression and pose make her seem bored already of the mag..she is not selling the issue..at all..!!

  5. i love it. Everything is so balanced. the awkward pose and the messed up hair. it has an unruly feel to it which i guess was the idea. unconventional and awesome

  6. She looks worried!
    The expression, the pose, the hair, the shoes do nothing for her or the cover.
    This is so not a cover picture!

  7. HI,
