I like the first one. But not on Mandira.
agree with Nosh. There’s gotta be a siloette that looks good on her – maybe its the hair?
neither of them could carry them off
hate both.. isnt kenzo a japanese brand?
tara’s could have looked so cute! Whats up with that weird hairstyle??
Who wears Kenzo? It was popular in Japan in the early 90s but haven’t heard of it since then.
Ritu, Kenzo is still popular…since it does not have an easily recognisable design sense…like a logo etc you may not recognise some of the peoples outfits.
Mandira does not look good in it tho
the dresses don’t look bad on the models..but on mandira and tara..an entirely different story!
I think Sonam wore the second one in Grazia shoot
Bored of Mandira’s hair style!!
Why would a brand use mandira or tara to promote , I mean they are neither models nor style divas
sonam wore that dress in the july edition of grazia..
and it looked fab on her
That is also the same dress Sonam Kapoor wore in Grazia.
The dress Tara is in, looks like the one Sonam had done for her photoshoot with Grazia!!
Am pretty familiar with Kenzo but who is designing it since LVMH bought it way back in the late 90s. Again my qs who is wearing it? The Japanese certainly don’t. It has a very limited resort wear appeal in any case. The frangrance is doing well but not sure how successful the transition to homeware was. P&P what do you guys think? Last I heard, Kenzo was selling his house in Paris.
Some guy called Gilles Roseir – he has been designing the womens label since 1999, LVMH does not buy a brand unless they are dead sure that it will work, possibly the idea is not to buy a Japanese brand, but a French brand – as it now is…
I think Mandira’s hairstyle is not doing her any favors at all !! :( She might have looked so much better in that dress with longer hair or even a a different hair style…
Mandira –
I think the material of her gown is different. Whereas on the model (on whom its a gorgeous gown) the material seems very breezy, on Madira’s it looks like a heavier silk. Paired with Mandira’s dated hair, she just looks old in it. Also Mandira’s next is not as long as the models (naturally) so the black halter should have been adjusted on her, it looks like a turtleneck!
Tara – Tara’s dress also looks like its of a different material. The model’s piece has vinyl looking detail which gives it an edge and makes the flowers stand out more…Tara’s is obviously just cloth and looks “blah”, like a cheap ripoff. Also the HAIR, its like Prom ’97!
*Oops I meant “Neck” for Mandira :)
Essentially I think that these ladies are just not funky or stylish enough to pull off these dresses.
I looove the first dress, but only on the model. It looks so stiff on Mandira Bedi.
Ooo nice clothes. Tara looks so happy haha.
i think mandira’s shoulders are too broad for this particular style. otherwise i love the dress..
Both of them look bad. but i like mandiras dress
how ADORABLE is tara sharma <3
loving it
