Kareena In Vogue, Decoded

It was just a matter of time before Kareena was featured in Vogue and for her editorial spread, she had the choicest designers' clothing, all from their Spring Summer 08 collections..the clothes are fabulous, she fantastic, and we, just a bit envious!

Am just a bit in love with paint smeared Dolce and Gabbana. How fabulous is that?

Katrina In JPG...

..and the JPG would be short for Jean Paul Gaultier and not the name of an image format! ;)

Gaultier still seems mesmerized by Bollywood and Ms. Kaif. We found out that Katrina's outfit on the Vogue cover is quite old though! Spring 2007 Couture old! In fashion terms that is more than five collections ago (counting Resort, Ready To Wear and Couture)!

Vogue can't pass old material as new to us! As Amy Wino would say "No No No!"

Vogue India Ups The Ante!

A bevy of beauties wearing outfits made by India's top designers! I think I know what I want for Christmas, Santa! The Vogue December Issue!



Here is a snippet of the interviews with the designer..

Define the woman you've created for the Vogue cover in one word.
Divine — SANDEEP (ABU-SANDEEP)
Individualistic — ASHISH SONI
Special — RAJESH PRATAP SINGH
Quixotic — NAINIKA (GAURI & NAINIKA)
The woman we designed the dress for is a woman with a strong design sense who likes to flaunt the Indian flavor on her, although she likes it to be subtle yet influential. She is a global women and doesn’t belong to any caste, color or origin NIKHIL (SHANTANU & NIKHIL)

I think Gauri and Nainika did such a wonderful job with the dress that Bipasha wore for the Vogue India launch party! It is Grecian, retro, geometrical and totally works for Bipasha! On the right, is the similar dress they did for their Spring 2008 collection during Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.

On the left, the picture is of Priya Tanna, the editor of Vogue India, at the Vogue India launch party. I love the color of the dress, but if the said dress is actually working for her, now, thats a verdict you'll have to make! Am not sure who made her dress but it is remarkably similar to the dress that Elisha W did for her Spring 2008 collection during Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.

The Olay-Vogue Brunch

That's Preity Zinta looking mighty fine at the Olay-Vogue Brunch at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur, carrying a beautiful, droolworthy Hermes Birkin bag in an absolutely gorgeous shade of green! Pardon the cliche, but am envious, 'green' with envy, what else?!! (Ok, so her bangs are annoying but she's carrying a Birkin for goodness' sake!)

And then there were three. Rahul Khanna, Gauri Khan and an unidentified lady in the middle. Gauri Khan looks totally washed out but its the lady in the middle that caught my attention, you see what she's carrying? Thats a Bottega Veneta tote.

Bag heaven.

Preity Repeats!

What was Preity thinking wearing a similar looking dress twice to two major events!

Here she is at the Vogue India launch party wearing a Surily Goel dress with a silver belt.(Not a big fan of the belt!)

Except, look at the dress she wore to the premiere of "The Last Lear" at the Toronto International Film Festival!

What do y'all think?

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.
