More Silk Saris
Remember my love letter to Silk Saris not too long ago? Well the admiration hasn't quite stopped yet - here are a few more silk/traditional sari looks I'm loving. I think I'll be grabbing one from my Mom soon!

Silk Saris
Silk Saris are amazing. Sure, Chiffons and Nets and Halter Blouses carry a lot of pizzazz and sex appeal - but nothing, and I mean nothing, looks as divine as a rich, Silk Sari. In my opinion, they are the true definition of Indian style - always beautiful, always vibrant, and always graceful. Here are some that I'm loving lately..can't wait to wear one soon.

sonam kapoor at elie saab couture, spring 2012
interesting fusion look. i don't know how i feel about it, though. it's definitely 'thinking outside the box,' but i'm feeling a bit of a grandma vibe with the shrug and sari together. on their own though, each piece is great - the gorgeous mandarin collar sari in pretty pink, and the delicate yet stunning elie saab shrug.

masaba gupta saris
talk about funky fresh -- masaba gupta saris definitely have a quirky cool style. "different" doesn't even seem to cut it. while i love the fun approach to a traditional sari, i'm not sure if i'm absolutely loving it yet. i do like once-upon-a-time actress mandira bedi's sari -- the colors, stripes, the way it drapes. it's very modern. sonam kapoor's look is what i'm iffy on. she always has fun with fashion, which makes her pictures a treat to see, so i do applaud her for that. but the hand print sari, the ultra sheer drape, and the black blouse going up a little too high in the middle, is just not working for me. something looks off. she still looks great though -- she is working the bengali-style big bindi, traditional earrings, and clean, elegant hair.
whether it works for you or not, this is a cool young designer to watch.
*update -- oh my, is ms. bedi is wearing a bikini top as a blouse? let's just say that's not the best idea. good thing she has it covered up with the sari drape.

sabyasachi couture 2010
just now getting a look at all the images from the 2010 sabyasachi couture show, and all i have to say is "wow." besides the amazing mix of patterns and prints on exquisite fabrics, take a look at all that layering...especially in the 2nd image. for starters, you've got a long kurta (tunic) with floral designs and paisley-looking motifs combined together. then, long, patterned net sleeves give it some air and freshness, while a small heavily embroidered vest gives the look a fun vibe. not to mention, i think i see some hints of velvet on the bottom border of the kurta, as well. and we're only at the top portion of the entire outfit so far. sabyasachi has placed this kurta with a lightly patterned full a-line skirt, printed churidar (leggings) beneath, and a long chunni (scarf) beautifully draped on one shoulder.
there are so many elements to this one outfit, but somehow they all go together with such ease and beauty. oh, and check out those very much on-trend platform oxford booties...quite the unexpected with an outfit like this!
i have always loved sabyasachi, but this collection was brilliant. it might not translate as well in real life, but it just shows how well of a mix-master, genius designer he is. the whole look -- in its earthy colors, absence of bling, and even zero makeup, still manages to look far more royal than any other crystallized in-your-face outfit normally seen and expected from indian designers. looking forward to seeing these pieces in some great editorials. (aishwarya rai is already featured one such editorial, by HiBlitz magazine. check the pictures on high heel confidential.)

vikram phadnis -- lakme india fashion week, spring 2010
gorgeous designs from vikram phadnis during the spring 2010 lakme india fashion week. it was a very opulent, royal, and traditional collection. especially loved all the layering i saw. each piece had this over-the-top grandeur but still remained very elegant. i always admire how designers combine a variety of fierce colors, fabrics, prints, and embroideries into one cohesive and graceful ensemble. the entire collection was very imperial india...going "back to an era of resplendent royalty not seen in India for centuries"....as a fashion editor put it. my favorite, though? the pairing of trendy gold gladiator sandals with a traditional churidar suit...as you will see in the second pic below. it showed just the right hint of modern spunk to go along with this very timeless & luxurious collection.

swapan & seema -- lakme india fashion week, autumn 2009
after browsing through most of the fall/winter 2009 collections presented at lakme india fashion week, i have to say that this was one of my favorites. from perfectly draped saris to sophisticated suits and lenghas, this collection was just so pretty. the rich & lovely shades of wine, the romantic lace details, and the sheer beauty of the fabrics were all very glamourous.

lakme india fashion week
favorite looks from this season's shows coming soon -- but for now...check out naomi campbell walking the "mai mumbai" charity fashion show in this vikram phadnis sari.**correction: the sari campbell modelled is by sabyasachi, not vikram phadnis. she also modelled a vikram phadnis red kurta top (below right).
