Shoeholics Alert

• "Sex and the City" fans span the world over the
  US, UK, India, Australia, China, Japan. Name a
  country. They've probably got show re-runs on air
  with a cult following to boot. And we've
  pinpointed the reason why. Empowerment. Carrie
  and her friends give women a sense of
  empowerment, and there's no cultural barrier that
  can contest that. Carrie, played by the ever
  talented Sarah Jessica Parker, managed to
  appeal to women everywhere since she wasn't
  afraid to put her vulnerability on display,
  reveal her deepest, darkest secrets, and as a
  rule of thumb, always 'kept it real.' After all,
  she wrote about everything under the sun in her
  column - relationships, friendships, and what it
  means to be an independent woman in this day and
  age. It was so refreshing! Read more..

  awards. We were happy to see that so many stars

  gowns for the occasion. Here are a few worth
  mentioning. Read more..

East Meets West

• Can you tell what's east and what's west anymore?
  The worlds have collided, the trends have merged,
  and the designers are enjoying this amalgamation
  with every single swatch. We found six top trends
  from Lakme Fashion Week and have juxtaposed them
  with luxury western makes and our very own
  partnered brands. Read more

The Return of the Crop Top

• Did you know crop tops were all the rage in the
  70s? Fashioned with over-sized bow ties and
  paired with denim bell bottoms, they aptly
  personified the dogma of the times - Let Loose.
  Be Free. Fight with Flower Power. Crop tops are
  no longer a source of your mum's nostalgia (and
  hidden sexy youth!) and have surprisingly made
  their comeback in a BIG way. We saw them crop up
  at several collections at Lakme Fashion Week
  Resort 2014 including Nishka Lulla, Veda Raheja,
  Jade by Monica and Karishma, Kunal Anil Thanna,
  and Nikhil Thampi. It's no wonder Indian
  designers are getting it right...it's essentially
  a western take on the lehnga! Read more..

Nanette Lepore

• When it comes to food and fashion, one name comes
  to mind who has made her mark in both industries
  with aplomb - Harmeet Bajaj. A staple on the
  Delhi scene, she's a magazine editor, fashion
  choreographer, interior designer, and now
  co-owner of the fine dining chain Smoke House
  Deli, which is sprouting  up all over the country
  with locations in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

• The Jean Machine..
• Many would agree that Kate Moss kickstarted the
  skinny jean trend, which is a kind of a big deal
  when you think about it. Can you pinpoint the
  supermodel who popularized bell bottoms in their
  heyday? See?! Read more..

Sophia Beckford

• London-based luxury handbag designer Elle
  Tyree has made her mark in Europe and is now
  taking the rest of the world by storm. Her
  label, Sophia Beckford, boasts handbags that
  double as art. We caught up with Elle to find out
  how she created a niche for herself in a
  saturated market with her jaw-dropping,
  eye-popping, resplendent creations. Read more
