Fashion Style, The contemporary artist/fashion label complex, that is, which Jacobs sent to new heights with his accessory collaborationswith Louis Vuitton. Yes, artists and designers had collaborated before—including Dalí and Schiaparelli way back when—but the runaway success of Louis Vuitton’s Murakami bags (and the follow-up Richard Prince “joke” bags) has given contemporary artists a new form to play with and, just as importantly, a new revenue stream.

Sapnaa Babul Ka – Star plus soap opera

Indian Saree, I liked the lovely expressions on these pretty ladies – sarees are not too shabby either. Don’t know the full story, but seems that Sadhna, one of the actresses is leaving the show, and this might be at the farewell party.

Elegant Lady Collection

Fashion Style, For Fall ‘10, Marc Jacobs sent out a sophisticated, elegant-lady collection of Fashion dresses that seems a world fashion style away from the edgy, Sprouse-inflected and tribal referencing collections of seasons past. So how to do justice to it in a campaign? With three of the modeling world’s most elegant ladies, of course: Natalia Vodianova, Karen Elson, and Christy Turlington, shot by Steven Meisel.

Bibi Russell promoting old and new fashion designs

Indian Saree, Former supermodel and renowned fashion designer Bibi Russell has associated with the traditional Bodo women of Assam to create a new line of lifestyle products which will be a mixture of ethnic Bodo culture and high end fashion at June 10, 2010 (Sampurn Wire).

Bibi Russell will train Bodo women for ‘Weaving Destinations’ to work with modern design techniques and develop their range of skills that will help them market their products as a premium label. The Bodo women working for ‘Weaving Destinations’ include HIV patients, survivors of human trafficking and women migrant returnees who are highly vulnerable to re-trafficking and are social outcasts.

Russell, a UNESCO designer for development, has recently visited the Bodo heartland and met the local weavers. She was all excited over the beautiful designs, especially for the endi and eri silk. She also praised the vibrant colours and shades used in the different designs woven by local women.

The designer had promised to work with local Bodo artists and promote their product on the international stage. She said that the Bodo weavers produce a range of hand-woven products that preserve traditional Bodo Motif and weaving techniques for both individual and industrial purpose.

The ‘Weaving Destination’ is a part of the ‘Women and Wealth Project’, a provincial social endeavor by the United Nations development program (UNDP) and the Population and Community Development Association (PDA) of Thailand, aspired at the socio-economic development of women living with HIV.

Russell recently featured her trademark ‘Gamcha’ collections and ‘Jamdani’ saris at Kolkata Fashion Week, 2010. Russell works in Bangladesh to preserve and promote the hand-woven textile industry there.

2010 Fashion Style, Madonna Suits Up

Fashion Style, She was on hand to open the Fashion suite of rooms she designed at Claridge’s hotel for 2010 fashion style, Diane von Furstenberg was in London last night toasting the addition of hotelier to her long list of credentials. and the London contingent came out in full force to celebrate, including Victoria Beckham (who was rumored to have changed her vacation plans so as not to miss the fête), Gwyneth Paltrow, and Madonna. The Material Girl went Material Gent for the evening in a wide-legged black suit, paired with a structured blouse and navy fedora. She threw in a few femme touches to keep her just this side of drag—namely, red lips and a belt to accentuate her waist. Maybe she’s got menswear on the brain with the European shows going on now—her friends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana just celebrated their 20th anniversary in menswear in Milan, after all—but whatever the cause, we’re feeling her for-the-boys look.

Celebrities 2010, Alexandra Richards Goes Bare

Celebrities Fashion, Alexandra Richards (pictured) strips down for the latest French Playboy. That’s usually the sort of thing that dads object to, but in her case, we imagine dad’s done way worse.

Tim Hamilton canceled his eponymous menswear show in Paris, opting to show the new collection by private appointment instead. “It’s about the clothing at the end of the day, not the spectacle,” the designer said.

Miu Miu opens its newest shop in Forte dei Marmi, Italy, the Tuscan town where the rich and famous (like Giorgio Armani and Andrea Bocelli) keep villas. Funny, we always thought of Bocelli as more Prada than Miu Miu, but it is hard to resist those kitty collars.

Summer 2010 Fashion, Sexy saree for Summer Season

Women Fashion, 2010 Summer Fashion for women, She is looking very beautiful in this Sexiness Sareee, I Love this saree ad – I know it shows a lot more skin than ‘necessary’ and as they say “it appeals to the prurient interest”, but I find it to be sexy in an overt way and it captures the sexiness of the saree when it is draped right. The whole purpose of an ad is to capture the specific qualities of the subject and highlight it in an interesting wa.
