Sorry, don’t particularly care for this one. The jewelry makes her look stunted.

Supporting Suneet Verma’s fashion archive
Ace designer Suneet Varma is planning to open India’s first ever fashion archive that will help fashion students in India to look through how the country evolved and matured with time.
The designer, who currently has archival material of 25 years of his own work, wants to also store other designers’ works.
Suneet says he is looking for someone or even a company to come on board and spearhead the project as he will then look at approaching other designer friends and colleagues to come forward and share their works, styles and signatures of the past for the fashion archive.
An excited Suneet says, “This initiative will be purely for academic purposes. I have studied and have also taught budding designers at many fashion institutes in India but I have to say that our country has been very bad in saving our fashion history.
In every top fashion college in the world, say Central Saint Martins or Pearl or Parsons, there is an archive where students get to see the works of Galliano to Gucci over the ages. They at least have an archive of 50 years of fashion which is beneficial for the students.”
Suneet, who is showcasing his line inspired by the works of acclaimed illustrator Antonio Lopez at the Delhi Couture Week, laments, “I have seen some designers don’t even have pictures of their last collection.
Maybe we are not so serious about fashion yet. Maybe we are only looking at it for commerce and not cultural history as the things that have happened in India have influenced fashion much like movies and even art.
We must store it for the generations to see and learn from.”

Hema Malini and Esha Deol in Rocky S Bridal
Apparently Esha Deol wants to be a “runway bride”.
The young actress matched steps with her evergreen mother, veteran actress Hema Malini, who was the cynosure of all eyes at the closing show on the third day of WIFW.
While Esha sported a splendid maroon and green, heavily embroidered lehenga-choli, Hema stole the limelight with her grace in a similar coloured sari teamed with an embroidered burnt orange coloured blouse.
“It was wonderful walking the ramp. Rocky has given me a beautiful sari to wear. It has a wonderful combination and it was very nice walking with Esha,” Hema told reporters.
Rocky’s collection was a sellout among the audience for his use of bright colours and eclectic combinations like blue, red, teal, pink, peach, burgundy, green with a heavy use of borders, motifs and tassles. The outfits were primarily suits, saris and lehengas in silk, georgette and brocade.
The range starts from Rs.10,000- 1,15,000.
Sania Nehwal in bridal
Sania Nehwal is an Indian badminton player. Currently ranked number 2 in the world by Badminton World Federation, Saina is the first Indian girl to reach the singles quarterfinals at the Olympics and the first Indian to win the World Junior Badminton Championships.
Sania Nehwal made history on June 21, 2009, becoming the first Indian to win a Super Series tournament, by clinching the Indonesia Open with a stunning victory over higher-ranked Chinese Wang Lin in Jakarta. (The Super Series tournament is roughly equivalent to a Grand Slam in tennis.)
She made a good showing at the Uber Cup and thats good enough for me.
Here she is in Pallavi’s bridal outfit.
His and Hers matching bridal
Coordinated traditional red and gold sherwani with red fusion trail lahenga.
I like this combo for multiple reasons – first of all, there is a purposeful infusion of design in men’s wear; secondly, I like the red trail in the lahenga and lastly, I like the fact that the bridal wear is coordinated and not “matched”.
A lot of the times one would see a detachable trail, I am pretty sure that is the case here as well.
