Hello again blogspot,forgive the prolonged absence,i am a free bird searching a dignified destination in this uneventful summer.
cutting the bullshit...i am interning at a fashion cum lifestyle magazine
SPICE,it is run by one of the biggest publications group in the country: ITG,(the same owns HARPER'S BAZAAR and COSMOPOLITAN!)more on that later.
I realised that i havent written a fashion issue in ages!and due to the complete shortage of time/procrastination (i swear! if procrastination was karate i would already have a blackbelt) i find myself unable(???) to write a full fledged article about the fashion scene. I particularly wanted to write about Transgendered models on the runway making it big, but since
TIME magazine and
Fashionistaalready covered it,i will be humble enough not to write about it.I have however found an ancient article i wrote when i was 15 for a Vogue contest,rotting in my email folders..i wish to bring it out of its catacombs (the pictures arent available as this is way back from 2008 and i cant find their folder)
THE LATEST FASHION TREND*
*from 2008! How embarrassing!!!!
the flavor this season is RECESSIONISTA and thanks to the
Great American fiasco, it is here to stay. Thus recycle and reuse, making the most of everything
You have already got will definitely make you smart yet fashionable. It is of course easier said
Than done.So what to do when you are an avid shopaholic ,have the cash to go on a bender and
Wouldn’t be seen dead in something that’s so yesterday? Obviously you spend!
This year is extraordinary . Last year we had top designer brands like Dior , Christian lacroix
And even Ellie Saab(who is known for his over-the-top embellishments)
Use very subtle colors in their designs.black and white dominated the runways of the
Sao Paolo Fashion Week which is renowned for blasts of color . Evidently the meltdown has
Shown it’s drastic effects here also.This year is poles apart from the last and the recent Paris
Fashion Week proves it.New Wave has made its entry once again and loud and bold reinstate their
reign. Following Obama’s footsteps CHANGE is the new order.
The perfect wardrobe this seoson should consist of goth jackets,attention
seeking coats with the old bumper shoulders , just when you were thinking of chucking those
old harem pants or using them as night pajamas, hold that thought because harem’s have made a
Comeback. Hard metal and leather pants are a favorite still. Get into a tribal mood with wild prints
And invest in gold jwellery. Among the western designers Miu Miu ,Jean Paul Gautier and Stella
McCartney are lighting up the fashion scène otherwise back home it is Shantanu and Nikhil, Malini
Ramani, Rina Dhaka and sabyasaachi bringing twist to the traditional Indian apparel.
The conclusion is that prints have never really gone out of vogue nor has the punk look,thus the
combination of the two spells dynamic and fun. It is therefore a necessary trend ruling the Ramps at Paris and hopefully at the upcoming London fashion week.

It is also the 25th birthday of two of my favourite style icons,entrepreneurs and beauties.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MK AND ASHLEY OLSEN!
I have almost fallen in love with their
ELIZABETH AND JAMES Collection
here is a little snippet from their lookbook.Though it could be put in the category of parisian glamour, i think it symbolises Careless Perfection that the twins display in their sartorial choices.
i love you
