IFW Delhi 2008 – Rohit Bal Saree

rohit_bal saree 2008

I am just too sad that there isn’t much saree-wise to show from IFW 2008 in Delhi.

All of these “designers” want to be “international designers”, that means they have to create something that is completely unwearable.

I support their ambitions and I want them to succeed internationally. It is possible that many of the believe, and may be correctly so, that IFW is not a place to launch saree designs. Bridal shows or regional shows are better place to do it.

We will keep you posted!

Some older great designs – Sari

From Pallavi Jaiskishan;

It has a nice rich texture to it and I really like it.

By older, I mean, non-2007/8 designs. They are still contemporary designs.

I thought LSD was outlawed : why such psychedelic colors?

I thought only people on LSD got hallucinations with psychedelic colors like these. Who transported us back to 1960s?

Geeze.., I don’t even know what to say.

Get me out of here, please.

When will Gucci Launch Saree Design Line?

When, when?

having 4 families from India in the top ten richest people in the world is not enough?

Loaning them the Indian beauties to show off their design not enough?

Here is Bipasha in Gucci.

The most expensive sari ever – an homage to painter Raja Ravi Verma

Is this the most expensive sari ever? Reputed to cost a whopping Rupees 40 lakhs ($100,000) and weigh 8 kilograms (15 lbs), the sari hand woven by Chennai silks is studded with precious stones and pays homage to Raja Ravi Verma’s paintings, including the one called “Lady Musicians” shown in the picture.

the border of the saree depicts another set of ten other paintings that pays tribute to this 20th century artist. The saree's best part is that the women in the paintings are intricately hand-woven and embellished with jewels of gold, diamond, platinum, silver, ruby, emerald, yellow sapphire, sapphire, cat’s eye, topaz, pearl and corals and integrated with threads made of precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum exactly as it is found in the original painting.

Rani Mukherji in a bright blue sari

No one quite wears a sari the way Rani Mukherji does. She tends to wear bright bold colors that suit her very well. But this blue sari does not do her justice. The heavy embroidered border lacks detail and finesse. And the large and very gaudy necklace does not add to her usual sense of style.

But other than that she looks gorgeous as usual.

Not sure if I like the saree as much, but do love this picture – wonderful composition.

I am not sure if pretty pink is the best color for a gorgeous dusky beauty, but she carries it well.
