Why it's possible for Indian women to say that to Dhoni, Warne
Why it's possible for Indian women to say that to Dhoni, Warne
Finally, a designer has managed to infuse soft sensuality into a straight-laced game of bat-and-ball. A wee bit of coaxing from IPL head honcho Lalit Modi, and veteran fashion designeru00a0 Tarun Tahiliani was sold on the idea of designing a line of limited-edition tees for the Ms Bollywood contest held at the Monte Casino Theatrico in Cape Town last Saturday. The graduate from Wharton School of Business admits to have turned his nose up at the mention of cricket. Now, that's history. "I have become a huge fan of IPL. I like its pace. It's not like boring Testu00a0 cricket," he laughed during a telephonic interview from South Africa.
While Ms Bollywood winner, 35 year-old Dune Kossatz received flak from bloggers for being an insipid choice for the crown, the tee that she and her co-contestants modelled during a fashion show some off shouldered ponchos, othersu00a0 baseball-shoulder plunging neckline tees were an instant hit.
The signature TT creations are crafted from luxurious fabrics, embellished with Swarovski, making them a sporty-dressy option even after the IPL pandemonium dies out.
The tees are expected to be on sale at Tahiliani's boutiques across the country, but he is tight lipped about when. "Actually, I can't give you a definite date since the copyright now belongs to Lalit Modi," he said.
What's this mystery French woman hiding in her handbag?
It's sinister and stylish at once. Legendary French luxury brand Christian Dior's sweet surrender to Internet mania has resulted in The Lady Noir Affair, a six-minute black and white thriller that pays tribute to the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock, without compromising on the grandeur that head designer John Galliano thrives on.
"We wanted to capture the glamour, the intrigue, the heroine and the mysterious allure that radiates around her. Marion has brought the Dior woman to life. She is incredible," Galliano said in a statement to the international media about the film that was unveiled on the Internet on May 20, and stars Oscar-winning Parisian actress Marion Cotillard.
So, you see Cotillard digging her manicured nails into a mysterious Lady Dior handbag, a far cry from her endearingly melodramatic portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. The film sees her pull off dual roles brunette and blonde with icy aplomb.
In killer black heels, she keeps pace with the charcoal-inspired cinematography, the screeching strains of a background score, as the femme fatale who finds herself in the middle of a police investigation that takes her across the streets of Paris.
While the camera captures the architectural wonders, the iconic Lady Dior handbag stays in tight focus, quietly building a poetic mystery what is she hiding in the handbag? This gripping whodunit is part of a four-part series that will unfold in coming seasons, leaving viewers with enough time to put the pieces together.
The film that brings together Cotillard and La Vie en Rose director Olivier Dahan, is a lesson for Bollywood filmmakers about how product placement doesn't have to be about the protagonist lathering a soap that needs to be sold
Mumbai store that sells jeans Britney Spears, Paris Hilton love
Milk Serfontaine, a native of South Africa, is interested in garment innovation including wash formulas, stitching and fiber innovation. His Spanish wife Maria is tuned in to trends, is fiercely particular about fit and deeply concerned about what women want out of jeans. Based in Los Angeles, this husband-wife team is the force behind Serfontaine Jeans, a brand that's just arrived in Mumbai.u00a0
Another jeans story? Nope. Serfontaine Jeans are here to stay. They are touted to be the
pioneers in bringing rope stitching detail to denim, and one of the first clothing companies to use organic standards in their wash. In 2000, their Easy Rider
collection was a sell-out. Hollywood stars Sienna Miller, Paris Hilton and pop star Britney Spears are die-hard fans. US-based beauty magazine Allure dubbed it "the most Rock 'n' Roll jean around".
Check out: The team's firm belief that "jeans have no value if they do not make a woman look and feel like she can conquer the world", led to the addition of the four-way stretch XFit technology that creates an almost customised fit for the wearer. With skinny jeans adamant to stick around, Serfontaine stretches jeans in a myriad directions as opposed to only side-to-side that standard jeans offer.
