The Mad Hatter

Natasha Poonawalla at the Mcdowell Indian Derby sported a crazy, crazy hat! Got to admire the spunk (we'll just turn a blind eye to the fashion aesthetic for now - that outfit and those glasses are a crime!)!!

Looks like Ms. Poonawala took a cue from the Spring 2008 Couture shows where avant-garde hats seemed to have been the norm!

Dior Leaves Me Gobsmacked

The two really ugly bags below are part of Dior's Spring preview and I just wish I never saw them! That gypsy bag, where does one even start? Those eyelet, cut-out ruffles spell ugly, layer after layer, ruffle after ruffle! At $1950, thats a whole lot to shell out for a prop from a bad sixties movie!

And that red/purple/yellow, multicolor abstract print shopping tote is definitely someone's idea of sixties psychedelia gone sour and at $1290, its not a pretty shade to turn!

Chunky Shoes, A Trend??

Source

Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton's Fall 2007 ready to wear collection did these super chunky, gladiator'esque shoes, almost invoking the inner dominatrix in a woman! And now, I notice the same sort of shoes being worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the upcoming Sex And The City Movie! Do I smell a trend?

Oh, and incidentally, the shoes that SJP is wearing are Christian Dior's! And if you fancy a pair, found one on Ebay, take a look!

Cover This!

Vogue India is going to be debuting with a smokin' hot cover with Bipasha Basu in Roberto Cavalli, Gemma Ward in Valentino, Priyanka Chopra in Giorgio Armani, Laxmi Menon in Chanel, Preity Zinta in Christian Dior, and Monikangana Dutta in Gucci!

I think Basu and Dutta totally steal the show, umm, cover! But this cover totally reminds me of the inaugaral cover of Vogue China which also had the seemingly mandatory Gemma Ward.
