The Oct 09 issue was all about the ‘Best Dressed List’ and fittingly Verve put those ladies on it’s cover who made their (Verve’s) cut.

While Haseena got to wear my (most) favorite outfit from Anand Kabra’s Spring 2010 collection, Simone donned a Nachiket Barve Fall 09 coat and Malini Ramani was dressed in her own label. As lovely as all the ladies were on the cover, Kalyani Chawla was an absolute scene stealer in her sari.

To check who made the Best Dressed List, go Here.

Wearing a Louis Vuitton blouse with a Shantanu-Nikhil lehenga skirt (but, of course), Dia Mirza graces the Sep edition of Verve India. Shot in Bali, Indonesia, this one has Ms. Mirza wearing mostly Vuitton and carrying Vuitton’s Fall 2009 bags.

The most surprising snippet of this interview was that Tarun Tahiliani will design her main wedding lehenga and not her favorite, Shantanu-Nikhil. Catch her interview Here.

Lakme Fashion Week Spring 2010: Day Two

Rishta By Arjun, Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week

Stepping outside the boundaries of ‘season’ was Arjun Saluja’s collection ‘The Melting Architecture’. It started with a dark theme consisting more of structured pieces and ended with more loose flowing outfits. More toned down pieces consisting of the butterfly print and geometric patterns is what I foresee hitting the market.

Nikasha, Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week

Nikasha’s collection ‘In Full Bloom’ started off with white to resemble a bud and slowly progressed to colors like pink/coral to reflect a flower in bloom. Intricate floral embroidery marked the simple flowy pieces that consisted of layered tops, wraparound skirts, and capris. While I liked the layered tops, the pink embroidered pieces didn’t leave a lasting impression that would make me go and buy one.

Nachiket Barve, Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week

‘Toxic’ was the name of Nachiket Barve’s collection but it was anything but. Inspired by the colors of the dangerous creatures of the wild, Barve offered several dresses with intricate applique details in geometric patterns. The layering of silk with chiffon offered a summery feel but at the same time a formal tone making all the pieces perfect for cocktail hour.

Manish Malhotra, Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week

Manish Malhotra presented a Bridal collection instead of Spring/Summer one and while the designs were pretty much the same as seen last season at the A/W show, Manish brightened up the color scheme using more reds instead of beige.

I loved this summery ombre dress on Ms. Maghera but the gold heels didn’t quite work for me. They were a bit too glam for a dress with a ‘cute-casual’ vibe. You like?

Mostly seen in Swapnil Shinde‘s creations, Urvashi surprised us by wearing a blue Nachiket Barve gown at the premiere of her movie ‘Baabar’. She also wore a pink Spring 2009 Nachiket Barve gown to a promotional event in Ahmedabad the previous day. We liked the flowy ombre dresses (seen on Roshni and Sonali ) from this collection but the gown’s aren’t our thing. What say you?
