It’s no secret that almost all of the world’s leading brands have at one point been inspired by India and many continue to use the finest materials available only in India. In an honor to recognize globalization, Prada’s “Made In …” project features collections from around the world marked by the special tag specifying the country’s name.

The “Made In India” collection features handmade garments featuring chikan work as well as bags and footwear with traditional weaving technique.

Here’s your first look.

P.S. It’s great to see Prada openly acknowledge the products with the more accurate where it’s made at even though it is for a limited series. It is no secret that many brands still do hide the fact. Read Vir Sanghive’s in-depth article about it here.

In Prada

It was a Prada 60’s inspired dress from the Fall 2010 collection for Anu on day two that she paired with bow heels and a glittery clutch. Anu did change up the hair a wee bit (if you can call it that) by going for soft curl ends. Such beautiful outfits and she does wear them well but at the end of the day, the same-ole-hair just makes them all feel so monotonous.

Spotted Soniya Mehra in a Lecoanet and Hemant dress recently, one which earned her an ‘Almost‘.

While I appreciate the fact that Soniya wore her hair back to play up the ghungroo accents on the dress, do wish that the accessories she chose weren’t so overwhelming with the look. Tan as a color works but the bag was much too big and the shoes much too chunky for the dress.

White Out!

Err Ms. Hitkari, we get the charm an all-white look holds, but must you wear it like this?

Two back-to-back events, and two appearances that left much to be desired. We hardly even know where to start… Strike that, we actually do! How about starting with that do?

(Before you ask, Debbie is a socialite and an industrialist.)

Fab Or Drab?

A white Prada bag, flip-flops and a grey dress worn to a movie screening… Remind you of certain someone?

It seems so grey and dreary… It’s almost as if, were I to look outside right now, it’d be an overcast sky threatening an ominous downpour. Okay, so I exaggerate but at least you know how we feel… :P It’s bit of a Drab for us.
