Bank on It...!

From double-breasted at Bottega Veneta to brocade at Balmain, pantsuits were a big story for Fall. To get the look, you could drop a couple thousand or more on a designer version, or you could head to Walmart, where Norma Kamali's sharply tailored Prince of Wales check blazer and trousers will set you back $35. No, that's not a typo

An Old Cobbler’s Shop With Some Very New Stock

Step into designer Alejandro Ingelmo’s not-yet-opened subterranean Soho shop and his touches are everywhere. They surface in the long leather couch that divides the narrow but light-filled space into men’s and women’s sides (Ingelmo designed it himself). They’re in the faux shoe boxes—slide one out and they’re pint-sized—that line the walls (also of his creation). They’re in the oversized photos in the rear of Ingelmo’s family’s massive shoe shop in a long-distant pre-Castro Cuba. “I’m proud of my heritage,” Ingelmo says. “I wanted to make it like an old cobbler’s shop.”

The shoes on view yesterday at Ingelmo’s Spring ‘11 presentation, however, were the epitome of modern. Ingelmo’s signature stilettos are served up in a comfortable (really!) stretch nappa leather. “I don’t want [my customer] to only be able to wear it for an hour,” he says. “For me, it’s how you get the most longevity out of a shoe.” Sumptuous animal skins and basket-woven pumps feature in the collection, too, along with a new, especially slim heel he calls the Grace. They’re all in muted tones inspired by Brutalist architecture of the fifties and sixties.

Ba-sicks

You must, MUST, increase your pant collection! 

Classics are the core of our wardrobes. They’re worth every penny you shell out, and are the “ever so necessary” starting point of our ensembles. 

Specially corporates make a “classics section” in your closet including a blazer, white blouse, knee length black dress, pencil skirt and a sleek, elongating pair of dress & pants. Keep the colors neutral (having a hue of Grey ) so you can wear them during any fashion craze no matter what “the” hottest color could currently be… the fit must be killer smooth! 

Bottom hem changes with the every decade.. narrow to broad and back again....so straight remains neutral and classic..!!

Assuming your weight stays the same over the years (get a pair with a little stretch) so rest assured you own a pant that’s always in fashion… just stay away from those mayos and sweets! ;)

St-RIP-es

Many of us don’t know until it’s too late that we shouldn’t have worn that striped dress...

 “But it looked so cute on the model” you say. Well, most of us are unaware of the illusions some patterns create against our figures....Some illusions are awesome and save us money vs plastic surgery… Others are horrendous, disastrous and should be punishable by 30 years to life, at least! :P

Clean Energy

How best to head into the new decade?

 With a clean slate.

Clean is In...This is what we learnt from Donna karan,Calvin Klien and Hussein Chalayan's Thigh high Slits . Less is More....White becomes new Black !Thus simplicity is rediscovered in this spring but not the mannish minimalism of 90's

Chanel still keeps the same track of simple Black and white era...!!Feminism is best expressed by simplicity and clean cuts of the garment..

Fashion Hearsay

Many well-deserved homages will be written to his incredible cutting and the couture-level romanticism of his dresses, and the fact that his “bumsters” forced women into low-rise pants for more than a decade. I admire all that fully. But for me, the truly unique and indelible side of McQueen’s talent is what he did with his shows—transforming production, with the help of music, from being a boring old formulaic trot up and down a runway into an experience that went beyond fashion into the empire of a theatrical, emotional, psychological assault.

Articulation of Colours

Simply love this picture for one reason the colours seems to be have united to express the blissful spirits!

“The dream of creating my own fashion world.”

"Every Designers job is to get inspired and inspire !"

I am intrigued with the idea of allowing my conscience to see the sights of creative fashion and express in effective manner.Being shallow in creativity is as good as creating a sin.

The inherited thoughts of aesthetic gaze that had been grown up with my growing wits changes the world around me...

Wants to keep creativity vigilant….
