Sex and the City "Carries " Bollywood chic to center stage

2010-04-14T00:03:00.000-07:00

Nothing excited me more than to see the trailer to the Sexy and the City sequel. For some of us girls (and guys), Sex and the City was THE most anticipated movie in what seemed to be a life time. I simply must see the sequel! Not only am I a huge fan of the show and movie, I am also ecstatic to see that the sequel will be the film carriage that will escort the world of Bollywood fashion, firmly into Western culture. Sex and the City has always been greatly influential on the fashion industry, and this central setting on a trip to India, will be the voyage Bollywood fashion needs to make it mainstream.

SAVE THE DATE: THIS MOVIE IS A MUST SEE!!!

Stripe tease: Don't ya want it?

Incase you haven't noticed, stripes are sooo in this season. But no one else has captured the essence of the to new trend, and made it their own like the master himself, Hubert de Givenchy. Givenchy has done it again, mesmerizing fashion lovers with his undeniable eye for style. This jacket took my breath away the moment I saw it, and striped teased me into wanting to have it. So, it goes without saying, that Givenchy's striped jacket is definitely a MUST HAVE this season. This jacket is bold, and says "I'm larger than life," so wear and peer it with confidence."

Sail away with style: Fashion takes it horizontal, and goes nautical

2010-04-03T07:06:00.000-07:00

Fashion steals my heart away again, and pushes it to the edge of the horizon, while trends sail away with style. The new nautical look gives us grown up girls a lot room to play dress up, as if we weren't having enough fun. Fashion gives us a away to push horizontal to the next level, with a salute to red, white, and blue. While dressed for the life of a sailor, I can't help but wonder, "what journeys will fashion take us on next?"

Red is back to be the new black, and it's already strutting its way to center stage. The Vogue editorial "Into the Woods" says it all...So go out and buy some red with your green, for the new decade is growing a garden full of red roses.

Back to the future: Fashion breaks cultural barriers.

2009-12-06T19:53:00.000-08:00

There have been much controversy over the new fashion trend from the 80‘s ,“hammer pants.” I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the unoriginal style trends in fashion, and while that can be true, I believe that the new trend isn’t a blast from the past, but a leap into the future.

The new trousers trend is actually called harem pants. You know those pants that Jasmine wore in Aladdin, that same pants worn by belly dancers, they are the “it” pants of the season , pants worn by Bollywood stars… and it is rocking the runway both in Indian, and in western-fashion shows.

It’s about to be a new decade since the new millennium began, and it’s time we see a marriage between western and non-western dress styles. I am very proud to see the harem pants gaining such popularity in western culture, leading the way for other non-western styles to rock the runway in spring 2010. Kicking of a new decade of style---Where in the future, instead of looking to the past for trends, we simply look into the culture next door, or 3 doors down for inspiration. Creating the fashion hybrid that the world has been waiting for.

I spoke about my own frustration with fashion looking to past, and how Eurocentric fashion is, and has been for centuries. I spoke about my love for “Bollywood chic” and how I’ve been waiting to see it’s day come. But who would have thought their day would be here this soon. Hindi/ bollywood fashion is rapidly arriving. With fashion, who knows if it’s here to stay, but I do hope that seeing a cultural blend on the runway will be trend of the century; Bigger than 80’s hair, and as popular is denim.

Fashion Fairytale: Little Red rides to the runway

2009-12-05T03:10:00.000-08:00

With all the recent rain, a little red hood could come in handy. Instead of looking as bleak as the wolfy weather, here's a chance to brighten your day, and be fashion forward, even if you're puddle hopping, or just going shopping.

This Fairytale style will be a trend, rain or shine.

Written in the September 2009 issue of Vogue. The fashion editorial “Into The Woods, “ screams red never fails, in the Little Red Riding Hood inspired style tale.
