Gandhi Darshan at RAJGHAT.

2011-10-03T21:36:00.000+05:30

As the silent thread of creation, moved in a global circle, in its pilgrimage to unite in a cosmic moment of enlightenment, emanating peace and truth, within and without... at 12noon, Gandhi Darshan at Rajghat, the capital bore witness to an august gathering including The Archbishop of Guwahati Thomas Menomperamhil, who welcomed a hall brimming over with a sea of inspired humanity – largely students from J&K, Sikkim, Assam, Ladakh and other locations. All sat united in paying homage to the martyr Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi and his concept of Satyagraha, where truth and non-violence remain the eternal pall bearers. The setting was serene and laced with the melodious notes of Bhagti Sangeet rendered by a group that evoked the sentiments encouraged by Mahatma Gandhi. The Archbishop and Tara Gandhi Bhatacharjee lit the diya and inaugurated the countdown to the solemn two minutes.
On the occasion the Archbishop of Guwahati prayed that the bonds that bind us together may be a bridge between all nations of the world. Further going on to say that Mahatma Gandhi was not only a national figure of inspiration but a universal one.

2011-09-30T22:31:00.000+05:30

The festive collection of handbags and clutches is inspired by iconic movie stars and launches across leading department stores. Party season is around the corner and it’s a perfect time to overhaul your closet and get ready for the months of celebrations and revelry. High street accessories brand toniQ accessories, best known for its on trend yet affordable collection of accessories and fashion jewellery has recently launched a collection of evening bags, clutches and wallets to get you party perfect. The collection inspired by strong iconic movie stars like Audrey Hepburn and Angelina Jolie have classic shapes in updated seasonal colours.

According to brand architect Sonali Lalvani “toniQ handbags were launched as an extension to our existing line of accessories line that’s currently available in leading department stores. We found several shoppers looking for a co-ordinated look for their outfits and adding a collection of handbags, clutches and wallets just made sense”. Styles range from the "Angelina" a satin fabric clutch with rope detailing that’s perfect for a luncheon or a late night soiree or the "Charlotte" with its black lace overlay which is girly without being saccharine. The “Audrey" reminiscent of its namesake in Roman holiday is playful with its contrast ribbon detailing and its black stone appliqué. If your young and ready to party, but hate holding something big and unwieldy then the “Rocker" or “Lucy" wallets are perfect. With sequined sheeting on the "Lucy” or the studs and hardware detailing on "Rocker" it’s just the right amount of dress- up for a night out and enough to store some credit cards or cash. Each bag comes with detachable straps, so it can be worn both ways, slung across the body for a more casual look or carried as a clutch. The materials used in the bags include satin, lace, studs, sequins and faux leather with jewelled and ribbon trims.
“Whether you’re wearing a plain LBD or a white shirt and a pair of jeans, the right arm candy can easily transform your outfit. Add some fun accessories from our collection and your ready to party” added Lalvani. There is something for everyone’s preference and the collection will blend effortlessly into your existing wardrobe but in colours like nude, charcoal grey, canary yellow, flirty fuchsia and berry, the looks are never boring. Prices range from INR 599/- for a wallet to INR 1299/- for a stone detailed clutch.

Holly Fulton at LWF SS2012

2011-09-18T23:32:00.000+05:30

(London)

For SS12 Holly Fulton has produced a collection for the lady that having blown her annual budget takes a vacation a little closer to home. In full holiday spirit and dressed for Vegas - she hits Margate. A keen eye on the arcades, indulging in the plethora of fruit machines and casinos, her handbag is decidedly ready to hoard any winnings. She frolics between gaudy neon lights and saccharine sands, asserting her right to be a bathing belle, and is not adverse to a donkey ride either. This latest collection draws inspiration from Slim Aarons’ photographs of the US poolside scene from the late 1960s and 70s, the Albertus Seba Cabinet of Curiosities and Margate’s Deco Lido.

Colour references echo soft, aged pastels inspired by 1980s pin ball machines, through to the vibrant-pop of Fiorucci fused with monochrome chessboards and checks. With a nod to signature Pucci and the decadence of early Versace circa 1990, prints are layered and embellished to create a look reminiscent of seaside souvenirs. Shell encrusted jewellery and bags, insets of shell laminate in a variety of plastics and Perspex blend to sit perfectly with Holly’s graphic aesthetic creating a visually striking yet harmonious collection. The resulting look is a hybrid Shelley Winters/C.Z.Guest decked out in head-to-toe nineties-esque Versace paired with excessive nautical jewellery and a hint of Sharon Stone in Scorsese’s Casino.

The collection is a joyous celebration of contemporary materials and design sprinkled with considerable frivolity and tongue in cheek elements. Signature cuts, considered placement and elaborate beading result in a striking and refreshing collection. All detailing executed with an air of luxury and consolidation of colour, forming the bold aesthetic with which the Holly Fulton label has become synonymous.

TIFFANY AMBER PRESENTS ‘SIREN OF THE NILE’ COLLECTION

2011-09-15T11:41:00.000+05:30

(London)

Saturday 17th September, acclaimed African designer Folake Folarin-Coker will make her European debut as she presents her award-winning label ‘Tiffany Amber’ for the first time during London Fashion Week. Here, she will present her Spring Summer 2012 collection ‘Siren of The Nile’ to a select audience of European buyers, stylists, fashion press and celebrities. The exclusive presentation will take place at the prestigious Charing Cross Hotel, located in the heart of London.

The highly-anticipated ‘Siren of The Nile’ SS12 collection is a conversation with Eastern and Western influences, drawing upon the rich geometry of traditional African craft and combining these elements with bold Western shapes. The alluring feminine silhouettes are enhanced by spell-binding swirly prints in hues of midnight blue, green and canary yellow, while the horse inspired print brings out strength and stability. The Siren of the Nile collection celebrates the true essence and self-discovery of the elegant and sophisticated woman. A woman who is unfaithful to fashion trends and stays true to that which is most important to her – her own sense of style. Tiffany Amber reflects Nigerian-born Folake’s love for luxurious fabrics and intricate embellishments, which create timeless and feminine pieces. Folake’s creations of delicate, stunning shapes, have glided down numerous runways across Africa, Paris and New York. Her designs have earned her rave reviews including Harpers Bazaar, who described her line as “top pick of Africa’s emerging talent.”
