Letters from the Avant-Garden
It seems a few designers took a page from this book when it came to inspiration, this season.
Prabal Gurung's avant-garden dress was one of my faves this season.
Loved the graphic print and the ribbon of red.
I am really loving the angles of Kallol Dutta's perspective lately, too.
Berardi is no stranger to bold - and impeccable tailoring.
Urvashi Kaur had soft asymmetry all tied up.

Piping In
Oh look, there is someone else piping in on the piped trench I love so much.
So lovely in midnight blue, too.
Burberry's take on the crisp trench: belted, piped, trimmed...sold.

A Cuff’s Enough
It doesn’t take a grand ball gown to impress me.
Life is all about the perfect little moments – in between the fancy parties.
It’s about the enjoyment of the daily pleasures – like the length of the perfect cuff.
Sometimes, my dears, that’s simply enough.
Paul Smith knows not to mess with knuckle-length shirt cuffs.

Métiers de Mumbai?
The House of Chanel releases a Métiers d’Art collection annually to highlight the fine work of the seven Paris couture ateliers which Chanel owns. And each year, Uncle Karl gives us a dream – whether it’s the perfect marriage of Paris and London, a journey through time to the Byzantine age, or an ode To Russia, With Love.
For me, these Métiers d’Art collections from Chanel often resonate the most. These are the ones that remain in my visual memory.
Well now, my darling Uncle has decided to take a trip to my Motherland. The Paris-Bombay collection, to be shown on December 6th at the Grand Palais in Paris, will be an ode to Mumbai.
Given Chanel’s rich history in couture craft and India’s equally embellished passion for ornamenting the ordinary, I cannot wait to see the collection.
After all, Karl is the West’s answer to the mac daddy Maharaja, is he not?

Fashion Set Fêtes Filmmaker
Pedro Almodóvar loves strong women.
Woman on the verge, Rosie de Palma, looking beautiful amongst the blooms.
Well, many a fashion femme fatale showed up at the MoMA last night to fête the famous filmmaker at the Museum’s fourth annual Film Benefit – A Tribute to Pedro Almodóvar.
Wendi Murdoch, with Tamara Mellon who looks deep in thought - about her rumoured lifestyle brand launch, no doubt.
Grace, aglow in red.
Ms. von Furstenberg.
The perfect backdrop for colourful, John Waters.
Uncle Karl and Uncle Pedro - two uncles every woman needs.
I am not a party girl, but this is one I wouldn’t have minded being an extra in, if only to be photographed in a glorious dress against a backdrop of roses.
No small entrance - model Joan Smalls in a drop-dead-in-front-of-red, Tom Ford dress.
The scent of those blooms must have lingered, like the scenes from his films in one’s memory…
Rachel Roy looking chic. I am still craving the burgundy version of these Celine shoes.
